Осенний дождь [Osenniy dozhd'] [Osenniy dozhdʹ] [English translation]

The slanting rain will wash away my heartache in the fall

Oh, how it hurts!

Joy and longing in this rain

And quietly enters the house one carefree and lonely soul

From a distance, to another dear soul it came

I have returned! Hello Mother!

Well, what's wrong with you, stop wailing in front of your son!

Well, I turned a little grey, otherwise

I'm the same, well, stop now, it's no bother...

After all, I’m back, dear Mum...

My girl didn't meet me like before at the bus stop

The joy in her eyes lasted three days, since we were apart

Only three forgotten days and eight years of hope

Remained forever in my broken heart

I have returned! Hello Mother!

Well, what's wrong with you, stop wailing in front of your son!

Well, I turned a little grey, otherwise

I'm the same, well, stop now, it's no bother...

After all, I’m back, dear Mum...

The gypsy woman says- soon you'll get new sentence

And that means again you'll be driven under the guard

Away

There, over horizon, behind the bars, behind the fence

And her son, as always, dear Mum will wait

But I'll be back, and she'll wait like no other

And on the porch she'll be wailing in front of the son!

And I'll tell her- mama, don't cry

I'm the same, well, stop now, it's no bother...

After all, I’m back, dear Mum...

But I'll be back, and she'll wait like no other

And on the porch she'll be wailing in front of the son!

And I'll tell her- mama, don't cry

I'm the same, well, stop now, it's no bother...

After all, I’m back, dear Mum...
