The golden grove dissuaded me, | |
Speaking the merry language of the birches. | |
And as the cranes fly passed in sadness | |
They have no pity left for anyone. | |
I’m standing on a barren plain. | |
The wind is carrying the cranes away. | |
I’m full of thoughts about my merry youth. | |
I don’t regret a thing that’s past. | |
I don’t regret the wasted years, | |
Nor the lilac colour of my heart. | |
Red rowan blazes on my garden fire, | |
But now it cannot warm a soul. | |
The rowan branches won’t burn up. | |
The grass is yellowed but it isn’t dead. | |
And, as the tree sheds leaves in silence, | |
Just so I shed these words of sadness now. |
The golden grove dissuaded me, | |
Speaking the merry language of the birches. | |
And as the cranes fly passed in sadness | |
They have no pity left for anyone. | |
I' m standing on a barren plain. | |
The wind is carrying the cranes away. | |
I' m full of thoughts about my merry youth. | |
I don' t regret a thing that' s past. | |
I don' t regret the wasted years, | |
Nor the lilac colour of my heart. | |
Red rowan blazes on my garden fire, | |
But now it cannot warm a soul. | |
The rowan branches won' t burn up. | |
The grass is yellowed but it isn' t dead. | |
And, as the tree sheds leaves in silence, | |
Just so I shed these words of sadness now. |
The golden grove dissuaded me, | |
Speaking the merry language of the birches. | |
And as the cranes fly passed in sadness | |
They have no pity left for anyone. | |
I' m standing on a barren plain. | |
The wind is carrying the cranes away. | |
I' m full of thoughts about my merry youth. | |
I don' t regret a thing that' s past. | |
I don' t regret the wasted years, | |
Nor the lilac colour of my heart. | |
Red rowan blazes on my garden fire, | |
But now it cannot warm a soul. | |
The rowan branches won' t burn up. | |
The grass is yellowed but it isn' t dead. | |
And, as the tree sheds leaves in silence, | |
Just so I shed these words of sadness now. |
