| Hello Peter! |
| I returned again from the swamp of sadness and sadness.
|
| I returned to the palaces and canals, turned around to meet my fate.
|
| On a white night I will wander through the sleepy streets again, like a homeless man,
|
| And watch how the houses along the canals float through the dark water.
|
| Hello Peter! |
| Walking along the streets, like leafing through a colorful book,
|
| And from a running start I suddenly rush into the divorced hands of the bridges.
|
| I laugh, and somersaulting echo of laughter flies, reflecting from the walls,
|
| In deserted and noisy alleys, driving away Petersburg cats.
|
| Chorus:
|
| Hello Peter! |
| Hello city! |
| You are dear to me, very dear,
|
| But they build bridges, I'm afraid not to have time to fly away like a white butterfly on a white night.
|
| In the light sigh of the Baltic wind, fir trees barely sway,
|
| I can't sleep in a hot bed, I can't stand the night alone.
|
| In the moonlight, spinning and sparkling, the golden foliage will carry us away,
|
| And under the roar of stray trams, I will hug you tighter.
|
| Alleyways, cathedrals, pharmacies, synagogues, mosques, discos
|
| Continue Peter's creation, continuing the rotation of the planets.
|
| To the buzzing strings of the avenues, I sing and, suddenly taking off,
|
| I see all the cities, realizing that Peter is nowhere equal.
|
| Chorus:
|
| Hello Peter! |
| Hello city! |
| You are dear to me, very dear,
|
| But they build bridges, I'm afraid not to have time to fly away like a white butterfly on a white night.
|
| Hello Peter! |
| Hello city! |
| You are dear to me, very dear,
|
| But they build bridges, I'm afraid not to have time to fly away like a white butterfly on a white night. |
