Не говорите мне "Прощай!" [Ne govorite mne "Proshchay!"] [English translation]

Don't say me “goodbye”,

I remember how we met,

I spent the whole day in sadness,

And the evening presaged melancholy.

Don't say me “goodbye”,

I remember how I found by chance

The eyes which accidently

Were searching for summer on the snow.

Don't say me “goodbye”, don't say,

Look at eyes frankly again,

Warm up my heart at a diffciult hour, I am asking you,

I don't imagine how I will live without you.

My fate is hanging by a thread now:

I had built my palace on the sand...

Don't say me “goodbye”,

I don't want to leave you,

I don't want to play with words

And you, believe me now.

Don't say me “goodbye”,

Just say that you agree

To say only one word “hello” –

It is my last chance.

Don't say me “goodbye”, don't say,

Look at eyes frankly again,

Warm up my heart at a diffciult hour, I am asking you,

I don't imagine how I will live without you.

My fate is hanging by a thread now:

I had built my palace on the sand...

Don't say me “goodbye”,

I hate this word,

I will not hurt you at all,

Touching hand by chance,

Don't say me “goodbye”,

I don't believe that you are callous,

I don't need anything from you –

Don't say me “goodbye”.

Don't say me “goodbye”, don't say,

Look at eyes frankly again,

Warm up my heart at a diffciult hour, I am asking you,

I don't imagine how I will live without you.

My fate is hanging by a thread now:

I had built my palace on the sand...
