Die roten Russenstiefel [English translation]

I'll take the steamer to Cherbourg

And you'll recognize me, mon amour

With my raincoat I'll be wearing

Red Russian boots.

You haven't seen me for a long time

Back then, I still had pigtails, I was ten

I loved raspberry ice cream and you

Yes, you'll certainly recognize me

Because on that day, for you, I'll be wearing

Red Russian boots.

I'll surely like Cherbourg a lot

Is there somebody who loves you?

Can you see the sea from your place?

Do you still play piano, as you used to?

The lilac will be blooming, because it'll be May

When the both of us will be standing by the port.

Like in the photo I'll be wearing

Red Russian boots.

I'll take the steamer to Cherbourg

And you'll recognize me, mon amour

With my raincoat I'll be wearing

Red Russian boots.
