Nadjejda [English translation]

Nadjejda, Nadjejda

In Russian it means hope

Nadjejda, Nadjejda

In love it may be absence

How much longer is it without seeing your body

How many summers, how many winters

How many seasons in hell

Nadjejda, Nadjejda

In Russian it means hope

Nadjejda, Nadjejda

In love it may be suffering

Too swift or slow

Passes time

We'll stay this way as long as need be

To start it all anew one day

Nadjejda, Nadjejda

In Russian it means hope

Nadjejda, Nadjejda

In love it may be like a long silence

My guitar has gone mute

I don't know any more

The song I wrote for you

When I hoped to meet you again

Nadjejda, Nadjejda

In Russian it means hope

Nadjejda, Nadjejda

In love it may be patience
