Composer: Mikael Tariverdiev Performer: Joseph Kobzon Lyrics: May I ask, For a little while, You, my grief, To take leave of me? Like a cloud, Heavy, grayish cloud, Do fly to my beloved homeland, From here to my dearest homeland. You, my shore, Show yourself afar, Just an edge, Just an outline. You my shore, Lovely, gentle shore, My dear, if only I could reach you, Yes, reach you, at least some blessed day. Somewhere very far, Very far away The rains are dancing around. By the river bank, In a little nook The cherries ripen Bending low to the ground. Somewhere very far, In my memories The childhood's warmth livens up, Though all this Nows covered By such a thick layer of snow! Thunderstorm, Take my thirst away, Fill me up, Yet don't drown me. Here again, As it were the last time I still keep staring in the Heavens, As though I'd expect an answer soon...? May I ask, For a little while, You my grief, To take leave of me? Like a cloud, Heavy, grayish cloud, Do fly to my beloved homeland, From here to my dearest homeland. (Translated by Anna Djintcharadze)
