Текст песни Ярослав Смеляков - Элегическое стихотворение

Have you ever fallen in love -
I'm just sad if not, -
when you were almost twenty
and she is almost forty years old?

And if it really happened,
you never forgot
how hurriedly she loved
and you loved without memory.

When did we stop
look for a reciprocal look from them,
they silently let us go
without going back.

And yesterday, gloomy, dry,
entering some small hall,
I am a hopeless old woman
I saw among the young women.

And suddenly, even though it's in the old style,
amid vanity and beauty
I was deafened like thunder
half-forgotten features.

And walking towards you through the noise of the marketplace,
like an extinct dawn
i bend over thankfully
and I don't say anything

only with pleasure and torment,
forgetting sorrows and deeds,
kiss the old hand,
that the white hand was
