I won't tell anyone
Aleksandr Sergeyevich Dargomyzhsky
I won't tell anyone
why in spring
I'm not gathering flowers
in the fields and meadows.
That spring is distant now;
the flowers that I once wove
into wreaths with him
have wilted.
And those days are simply over,
have flown past like arrows,
when love entwined us
and burned like fire!
Everything has been over for a long time...
You can't return!
Without him, why
pick flowers?
I won't tell anyone
why I have
a weight on my chest,
a cruel grief oppressing me.
