Мне Хотелось Бы Видеть Тебя [Mne Hotelos' Bi Videt' Tebya] [English translation]

I would love to be close to your face;

Close to your face.

By the ancient of rules for imperial cats

I would love to be close to your face.

Some have chosen to live, forgetting of you,

Some have chosen to live, never toasting to you.

I object to these choices, which everyone makes;

I would love to be close to your face.

And I could write you into a wonderful script

But your King is so lovely and not very strict.

I would rather avoid acting in such disgrace;

I would love to be close to your face.

I am looking at pictures of castles of old;

You are seated, my Queen, with your eyes very low,

At your King you’ve directed imperial gaze…

But I’d rather be close to your face.

I would love to be close to your face;

Close to your face.

By the ancient of rules for imperial cats

I would love to be close to your face.
