Dorogoj Dlinnoyu

By the long road

Dorogoj Dlinnoyu

We rode in a troika with bellsEhali na trojke s bubencami
And in the distance twinkled lightsA vdali mel'kali ogon'ki
I would now, falcons, after youMne b sejchas, sokoliki, za Vami
Let my soul be distracted from longingDushu by razveyat' ot toski

By the long road, by the moonlit nightDorogoj dlinnoyu, da noch'yu lunnoyu
With that song that rings far awayDa s pesnej toj, chto vdal' letit zvenya
From that old one with seven stringsIs toj starinnoyu s semistrunnoyu
That tormented me so at nightChto po nocham tak muchila menya

Yes, it turns out we sang in vainDa, vykhodit, peli my zadarom
Night after night we burnedPonaprasnu noch' za noch'yu zhgli
If we finished with the oldesli my pokonchili so starym
So did these nights pass!Tak i eti nochi otoshli !

By the long road, by the moonlit nightDorogoj dlinnoyu, da noch'yu lunnoyu
With that song that rings far awayDa s pesnej toj, chto vdal' letit zvenya
From that old one with seven stringsIs toj starinnoyu, da s semistrunnoyu
That tormented me so at nightChto po nocham tak muchila menya

Yes, it turns out we sang in vainDa, vykhodit, peli my zadarom
Night after night we burnedPonaprasnu noch' za noch'yu zhgli
If we finished with the oldesli my pokonchili so starym
So did these nights pass!Tak i eti nochi otoshli !

By the long road, by the moonlit nightDorogoj dlinnoyu, da noch'yu lunnoyu
With that song that rings far awayDa s pesnej toj, chto vdal' letit zvenya
From that old one with seven stringsIs toj starinnoyu, da s semistrunnoyu
That tormented me so at nightChto po nocham tak muchila menya
