Do you remember the evening

Georgy Eduardovich Konyus

Do you remember the evening, as the sea was turbulent

In the dogrose sang the nightingale

The sweet-scented branches of the acacia

swayed on your hat?

Dense grapevines grew rank between the stones

The road was so narrow

Silently, above the sea we rode side by side

Your hand lay in mine!

Do you remember the roar of the rain-swollen stream

and foam, and spatter all round?

And to us our sorrows seemed far away

O, how we forgot them!
