Do you remember the evening
Sergei Vasil'yevich Rachmaninov
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!
