To Marina
Here the fir trees shiver in the snow,
Here the birds twitter very turbulently.
You live in a magic, wild forest,
From which it is impossible to leave.

Let the cherries dry out like laundry in the wind,
Let the lilacs fall down like raindrops.
But still, I will take you away from here
To the castle where the reed - pipes are playing.

Your world with wizards for thousand years
Is concealed from me and the earth.
And you think that one won’t find a better place
Than this magic enchanted forest.

The dew doesn’t have to sprinkle the leaves,
Let the moon and the sky always quarrel.
But still, I will take you away from here
To the castle with a balcony overlooking the sea.

In what day of the week, in what hour
You will come out to me cautiously?
When I will carry you in my arms
To a place where no one can find you.

I’ll kidnap you, if it’s all right with your soul.
Was it in vain that I robbed myself out of strength?
Please accept even heaven under my roof,
If somebody had taken the castle.
