Наблюдатель [Nabludatel'] [English translation]

Along the silent pond she liked to walk around

And every single day I watched her from an oak.

I felt that I had something for her within my heart

And it kept growing stronger with every passing day.

And nothing in the world could be more fascinating

Then to be glad for her, to love her and to long.

Being hidden by the leafage, to listen to her songs

And sometimes, being silent, to sing along with her.

[Chorus:] -So ridiculous and so naive he is

Thinks I do not notice him at all...

-Ah how sweet she is!

-He is in love, I'm certain

-She's driving me insane!

-Why does he hide himself, what for?

-Birds are flying in the sky,

The fallen leaf is floating on the water

And I still don't understand

About whom she sings every day next to the oak.

And to the tree she was coming closer,

Twining wild flowers into a wreath.

She wrote some letters with her finger in the water

Alas, I couldn't make out any word.

But with the sudden crackle, the bough under me gave way,

With it along, at once, I fell into the pond.

And I was nearly drown, drank all water for a lifetime,

With difficulty swam out, sat on a stone while being sad.

(Chorus)

But then from my back she took a water lily,

which she attached to her luxuriant hair

And then I saw a sweet smile on her face

It goes without saying, I smiled myself as well.

(Chorus)
