Белый теплоход [Belyi teplokhod] [English translation]

I couldn't take my eyes off you

You went about the deck in silence

So quietly the white steamer

Set sail from that noisy pier

And so suddenly I was tossed about

She began to rock me to sleep

Even as her stern sailed away

From a happy port

Ah, fair steamer

The startling bass sound of her horn

The sound of seagulls astern

And the twinkling of her blue eyes

Ah, fair steamer

Upon that fleeing water

You are taking me away

Speak to me of where?

But the steamer sailed on

And the waves, they ran off astern

So the gentle sea breeze

Having its fun, played with you

So I couldn't take my eyes off you

I know not why

I am in this moment more than ever

I truly envied her!

Ah, fair steamer

The startling bass sound of her horn

The sound of seagulls astern

And the twinkling of her blue eyes

Ah, fair steamer

Upon that fleeing water

You are taking me away

Speak to me of where?

Ah, fair steamer

The startling bass sound of her horn

The sound of seagulls astern

And the twinkling of her blue eyes

Ah, fair steamer

Upon that fleeing water

You are taking me away

Speak to me of where?

Ah, fair steamer

The startling bass sound of her horn

The sound of seagulls astern

And the twinkling of her blue eyes

Ah, fair steamer

Upon that fleeing water

You are taking me away

Speak to me of where?
