A.Pakhmutova, How Young We Were.. - Song -Transl. (Rus.) Poem by Lyudmila Purgina

By Alexandra Pakhmutova

Passer-by, please, look back and find out...
I know your incorruptable sight...
May be that's me... But only younger...
We sometimes fail that to identify...

R: And nothing on earth disappears completely,
And our youth is eternal, that's really...
How young we were, how young there,
How young we were in that time,
How we did love sincerely,
How we believed in self...

2. The first time we had played off to this day.
And one thing we'd accepted by mind:
If you wish not to be lost on earth, so
Try not lose your self essence in life.

R.

3. At that times we were met without grinning
By all flowers there on earth.
We forgave our friends when mistaken,
But betrayal we could not let off.

R.

4. In the heaven the dawn's burned already,
And in heart the storm got down far,
Never we will forget the lovely faces,
Never we will forget the native eyes.

R.
