The Cherry Orchard

[Verse 1]

A morning frost covers the orchard

But the cherries are all in bloom

A heavy stone rests on my shoulders

And leaving's all that's left to do

[Verse 2]

Give all I have to that stranger

Passing through, passing through

My life, my youth, my happiness

I bid adieu, I bid adieu

[Verse 3]

What's true, what's false, you see so clearly

While I, it seems, have lost my sight

The sureness of youth is pressing you forward

But life's still hidden from your eyes

[Verse 4]

And so, you say, you want your giants

If this be so, I wish you well

But be warned, they're not compliant

And only good in fairytales

[Verse 5]

There's no way out, no use in trying

I promisе you, I promise you

The train has pulled into thе station

Don your cape, lace your shoes

[Verse 6]

A morning frost covers the orchard

But the cherries are all in bloom

After the dark cold winter

You are young, young again
