Не со мной [Ne So Mnoi] [English translation]

I'm collecting post stamps

From some random letters.

And my thoughts are flying,

In the wind they're scattered.

Time is moving forward,

Difficult this distance.

I won’t see you later

That’s our final meeting.

Not with me you’re now,

Not with me.

I can't get accustomed

To this foolish falseness,

You were always present,

Now you’re so much further.

Day before you watched the

Smashing Pumpkins concert.1

And I walked in circles,

Stomping golden foliage.

I was pouring freely

Fine Kindzmaraúli,2

And a total stranger

Sliced my sulugúni.3

She was singing lyrics,

False they were, sung badly.

And my head was pulsing:

I do need you madly.

Not with me you’re now,

Not with me.
