Когда ты была здесь [Kogda ty byla zdes'] [English translation]

I remember these flowers,

And how your soul danced.

And even the wind admired how you,

How you were so good!

Above the hunched sky of the Neva,

Living matter flew,

I have never seen greener grass,

Than when you were here.

And they found their names,

All the rivets on all the bridges,

And Spring changed the exhibits,

In the Kuntskammer and the Crosses,

Even in the silent stones,

I felt that there was something there.

There were no grey days,

When you were here.

Over the museums a moth sang,

Trembling and gentle,

The rain made it crumble, the role

That was so important to you.

The music in my heart -

Is silent in your honour.

I breathed water and fire,

When you were here.
