A Sea Song (Morskaya pesenka)
I used to go sailing on the ships
Wandered in all the seas and rode out storms...
I've been to any port and any harbour
But everywhere I was missing my home
Everywhere I was missing my home
I ate bananas and drank coffee on Martinique
Smoked nasty tobaccos in Istanbul
In Cairo I chewed dates out of boredom
To my mind, they have a bitter taste
Far away from home they have a bitter taste
No, I don't fancy far-away beauty...
I used to wander in foreign lands for many days
But didn't leave there a tiny bit of my soul
All of it is for my Nastya, Nastyenka
It's all for my dear Nastyenka
On finishing my long-distance sails
I used to kiss the granite of the wharves
In my native Crimea and in Vladivostok I'm in tears
Just like on the distant Kuril Islands
On the most distant of our islands |
