Река времени [Reka vremeni] [English translation]

On a day as clear as this,

But many years ago,

We stood by the river, like today.

I was trying to tell you

About my love

And you were just smiling silently,

And spring reigned on Earth,

And a small ship

Kept rocking on the waves. It was going south.

Time keeps running,

Its steps are light,

You didn't notice the days that swiftly passed by.

Alone now,

I stand by the river.

Nothing changed in it.

Spring reigns on Earth again,

And our ship goes south

Along the waves...

Оh, don't run away from me,

Time,

Like a wayward maiden.

Оh, don't fly without me

Into the sky

Like a snow-white bird...

Оh, don't run away from me,

Time,

Like a wayward maiden.

Оh, don't fly without me

Into the sky

Like a snow-white bird...

Оh, don't run away from me,

Time,

Like a wayward maiden.

Оh, don't fly without me

Into the sky

Like a snow-white bird,

Like a snow-white bird,

Like a snow-white bird...
