Со мною вот что происходит [So mnoyu vot chto proishodit] [English translation]

This is what's happening to me:

My old friend visits me no longer,

Instead, in idle vanity, do visit

Plenty of unwanted people.

He's walking somewhere with unwanted, too,

And realizes this as well,

And our quarrel is inexplicable,

We suffer both.

This is what's happening to me:

A girl unwanted visits me,

Puts her hands on my shoulders

And steals me from another.

And that one, for God's sake,

On whose shoulders is she to put her hands?

The girl I'm stolen from

Will steal in retaliation, too.

She will not steal immediately,

But will live struggling with herself,

And will select unconsciously

Someone distant.

Oh, how many neurotic, ill

And needless relationships, needless friendships!

I've grown so weary...

Oh, someone, come and break

The joining of strangers

And separation of close souls!

This is what's happening to me:

My old friend visits me no longer,

Instead, in idle vanity, do visit

Plenty of unwanted people.

This is what's happening to me...
