Nina [English translation]

Nina says she's got a snow-color skin

And two eyes as black as the darkness

Nina says that, although her youth

She has cried like a widow for love

But it's all over, she forgot

Nina loves to travel, but she doesn't dare to travel

To a distant country like mine

Nina says she made my map

And in the skies my fate kidnaps her fate

Nina says that if I want to I can see on the screen

The city, the neighborhood, the chimney of her house

I can imagine inside her house

The clothes she wears, her hair, her tiara

I can even guess her face expression

When she writes to me

Nina is longing to meet me soon

And take me to the Moscow night

Whenever this waltz is played

I close my eyes, I drink some vodka

And I go...
