Мело, мело по всей земле
It snowed, it snowed all over the land
Во все пределы.
To every boundary.
Свеча горела на столе,
A candle burned upon the table,
Свеча горела.
The candle burned.
Как летом роем мошкара
Like in summer, swarms of gnats
Летит на пламя,
Fly towards the flame,
Слетались хлопья со двора
Flakes gathered from the yard
К оконной раме.
To the window frame.
Метель лепила на стекле
The blizzard sculpted on the glass
Кружки и стрелы
Circles and arrows
Свеча горела на столе
A candle burned upon the table
Свеча горела
The candle burned
Свеча горела
The candle burned
О-о-у-о
O-o-u-o
На озаренный потолок
On the illuminated ceiling
Ложились тени
Shadows were cast
Скрещенья рук, скрещенья ног
Crossed arms, crossed legs
Судьбы скрещенье
The crossing of fate
И падали два башмачка
And two little shoes fell down
Со стуком на пол
With a thud to the floor
И воск слезами с ночника
And the wax dripped from the night lamp
На платье капал
Onto the dress it fell
На платье капал
Onto the dress it fell
И всё терялось в снежной мгле
And everything faded in the snowy haze
Седой и белой
Gray and white
Свеча горела на столе
A candle burned on the table
Свеча горела
A candle burned
О-о-ви-те
Oh-oh-vi-te
(Свеча горела)
(A candle burned)
О-о-ви-то
Oh-oh-vi-to
(Свеча горела)
(A candle was burning)
О-у-о
O-u-o
(Свеча горела)
(A candle was burning)
(Свеча горела)
(A candle was burning)
А-у-о
A-u-o
(Свеча горела)
(A candle was burning)
А-у-и-но
A-u-i-no
(Свеча горела)
(A candle was burning)
О-у-о
O-u-o
(Свеча горела)
(A candle was burning)
О-о-э
Oh-oh-eh
(Свеча горела)
(The candle burned)
Мело весь месяц в феврале
It snowed all month in February
И то и дело (и то и дело)
And now and then (and now and then)
Свеча горела на столе,
The candle burned on the table,
Свеча горела
The candle burned
Свеча горела
The candle burned
Свеча горела
The candle burned
Свеча горела
The candle burned
Свеча горела
The candle burned
