Это было недавно... -пер. М. Матусовского

It was recently...
by Michail Matusovsky

On the cinema show
In the small town once
An actress was singing song, though
On the language ungrasped.
But this waltz from the film was
In the memory stored -
It was recently so,
It was so long ago.

How could I imagine,
How could I think then,
That with youth and forever
I was parting this way,
And what paths fate had forced me
In my life then to cross -
It was recently so,
It was so long ago.

That days couldn't be raised up,
And the fire got from.
Why is old waltz hunting
Me, my mind so long -
As if we are together
In the cinema glow.
It was recently so,
It was so long ago.
