Lyrics

Español

Natái, mi lejano amor No sé qué será de ti, Amor de mi juventud En mi noche azul Vuelves hacia mí. Ayer, tras la niebla gris Pasó nuestra dulce edad, Mas hoy me parece escuchar Las notas de aquel cantar. Ven, Mi rubia y bella Natái Que el Volga nos llevará Con mi amor... más allá... Ven, Y no me dejes partir Porque estoy solo sin ti Sin tu amor... mi Natái. Jamás te podré olvidar Jamás lo podrás saber, Que así como te amo yo Nadie te querrá Nadie, nunca, no! Tu voz, tu divina voz Quizá nunca llegue a mí, Natái, ¡Qué lejana tú estás! Qué solo vivo sin ti...!

English · machine translation

Natái, my distant love I don't know what will become of you, Love of my youth In my blue night You come back to me. Yesterday, behind the gray fog Passed our sweet age, But today I seem to hear The notes of that song. Come, My fair and fair Natái That the Volga will take us With my love... beyond... Come, And don't let me go For I'm alone without you Without your love... my Natái. I can never forget you You can never know, That as much as I love you No one will love you No one, never, no! Your voice, your divine voice May never reach me, Natai, how far away you are! How lonely I live without you...!
