| I went back there one day | 
| To a quiet city, through days and years. | 
| The city seemed empty to me. | 
| Here once I was young. | 
| This is where my love used to live, | 
| I remember the third house from the corner. | 
| I remember the third house from the corner. | 
| I found this house, I knocked on the window, | 
| I called her name, almost shouted! | 
| And a stranger answered me without evil. | 
| “Here, probably, she never lived.” | 
| - You wrong! | 
| the city told me. | 
| - You forgot! | 
| the station chuckled. | 
| - You wrong! | 
| whispered at home. | 
| Winter crunched with ripe snow. | 
| And smoke curled over the roofs. | 
| But I couldn't be wrong! | 
| But I couldn't be wrong! | 
| After all, it sounded around among the white snows | 
| Echo of first love, echo of old steps! | 
| And over the city the snow kept flying and flying. | 
| This city did not want to recognize me. | 
| It contained both hope and sadness - | 
| I walked over it by heart. | 
| I dived into its lanes, | 
| Where once love was lost. | 
| I searched, I wandered until dark. | 
| But she did not meet anywhere, | 
| But she did not meet anywhere. | 
| I was leaving the city at midnight for home. | 
| He flew outside the window. | 
| He accompanied me. | 
| And the night lights repeated brightly: | 
| - What was, is gone! | 
| What was, is gone... |
