Текст песни «Течёт река Волга (на англ. языке)»
Music by Mark Fradkin
Lyrics by Lev Oshanin
Translation and Arrangement by Boris Anisimov
My mother said: “The day will surely come
When you get tired of roaming all around.
Then, in the end, you’ll find your way back home
To these familiar lands where you have grown.”
From far away slowly the Volga keeps flowing,
The Volga keeps flowing. There is no end in sight.
Amid the crops growing, through lands where it’s snowing
My Volga keeps flowing through my entire life.
Your fleeting glance, your bashful tender sigh
I will remember till the day I die.
I don’t regret the years we left behind.
You care for me and I respond in kind.
From far away slowly the Volga keeps flowing,
The Volga keeps flowing. There is no end in sight.
Amid the crops growing, through lands where it’s snowing
My Volga keeps flowing through my entire life.
Upon this pier my friends are all around.
This is the place I cannot live without.
From distant reaches, from some other quay,
I hear a young voice sing along with me.
From far away slowly the Volga keeps flowing,
The Volga keeps flowing. There is no end in sight.
Amid the crops growing, through lands where it’s snowing
My Volga keeps flowing through my entire life.
