The Russian Song

(I lose my love when she freezes in the winter)

My love's not here, she's in Russia
Moscow wasn't big enough, can't be controlled
I found her; she carried me away with a shiver

Up and down the Volga river life could never get much better
Up and down the vodka river life moonlit winters spent together

I went to Irkutsk, I found nothing
I travelled here and there to Red Square
I found her; she carried me away with a shiver

Up and down the Volga river life could never get much better
Up and down the vodka river moonlit winters spent together

She calls to me
In the dark of night
Still her waters to the moon
Our love can never ruin

I lose my love when she freezes in the winter
But when the spring thaw comes again
I found her; she carried me away with a shiver

Up and down the Volga river life could never get much better
Up and down the vodka river moonlit winters spent together

She calls to me
In the dark of night
Still her waters to the moon
Our love can never ruin
Our love can never ruin
Last time!
Nyet!
