У него ли русый кудри

Language: Russian (Русский)

Available translation(s): ENG

У него ли русый кудри падали на плечи,
С уст румяных вылетали
Сахарные речи... что за речи!

Если б ведали да знали
Как его любила.
Думала, что не забуду,
Да позабыла... позабыла!

He had light brown curls

Language: English after the Russian (Русский)

 He had light brown curls that fell upon his shoulders,
 and from his rosy lips flew
 sugary words... such sweet words!
 
 If only they could know
 how I loved him.
 I thought I would not forget,
 yet I did... I forgot him!
