Syberiada [English translation]

In the faraway land, among icebound rivers

Where even a teardrop can freeze

Like rapid torrent I chase the longing

And my thoughts are in a whirl...

I have before my eyes the day of farewell,

Our glances need no words

My mind's full of sorrow and parting pain

And this fear, that I won't see you anymore

Spring is already bloomed

And I still see him in my dreams,

Maybe the unkown tracks lead him

To the places where fear is creeping up.

If one day I spot him by the window

I'll go out to meet him,

There's no better medicine for longing,

Than touch of athirst arms.

Ref.

I wanna come back there,

Where you are,

Where our home is,

Where our dreams are,

I wanna saddle up the wind

And run so fast

I wanna come back, come back there!

Come back here

To these flowery meadows,

Where you will find your

familiar place,

familiar days,

familiar time,

so come back, come back here!

Raw land behind the window,

Hostile and strange among snowdrifts,

How to clench the plight in a fist,

To survive this time of separation.
