Романс [Romans] [English translation]

Lyrical Song (Romance)

Lyrics N. Gumilev

Music A. Balchev

With the same anguish my days flash past,

Monotonous/dreary as they were,

As if roses are dropping their petals,

And nightingales are dying.

And she is also sorrowful,

The Love that has guided me

And envenomed blood

Runs under her satin-like skin.

And if I am in this world,

It is for the only dream I have,

That we both, like blind children,

Will go to the mountain ridge

There, where there are only reveries,

In the world of the whitest clouds,

To seek for faded roses,

And listen to the dead nightingales.
