BY THE WINDOW (Lyrics in English translation)
There's a skewed maple by the window
A very nice birdie sits on it
Listen, darling, how that birdie sings
That love can do nothing good
That love, that love
Can do nothing good
Whether this love is a gift form God?
Or was it simply whispered by devil?
Even if you don't want, you must love,
Even if you don't want, you must endure,
Even if, even if you don't want,
You must endure.
My darling, you're still the only one for me,
I've been loving you not for one, and not for two years,
Probably you gave me some poison to drink,
For I can not live without you at all,
For I can not, for I can not
Live without you at all.
I was told by fortune-teller long time ago
That I'm bounded to be crazy of black-browed girl
That because of her I will not see the world
And so my young years will be gone
And so, and so my young years
Will be gone
By the window the maple greens
See my darling how it bends by wind,
Maybe wind will pluck it with all its roots,
My darling, what will happen then with us?
My darling, my darling,
What will happen then with us?
(Translated by Alexander Laskavtsev)
