Once Upon a December (Russian Version)
Kak uzor na okne
Snova proshloye ryadom
Kto-to pel pesnyu mne
V zimniy vecher kogda-to
Slovno v proshlom ozhilo
Chʹikh-to berezhnykh ruk teplo
Valʹs izyskannykh gostey
I beg likhikh koney
Valʹs kruzhil i nyos menya
Slovno v skazku svoyu manya
Pervyy bal i pervyy valʹs
Zvuchat vo mne seychas
Zerkala v yantare
Moy vostorg otrazhayut
Kto-to pel na zare
Dom rodnoy pokidaya
Budeshʹ ty v dekabre
Vnovʹ so mnoy, dorogaya
Once Upon a December (Russian Version)
Like a pattern on the window
Again, the past is nearby
Someone sang a song to me
On a winter evening once
As if the past came alive
The warmth of someone's careful hands
Waltz of exquisite guests
And the sound of spirited horses
The waltz spun and carried me
As if luring me into its own fairy tale
The first ball and the first waltz
Resound within me now
Mirrors in amber
Reflect my delight
Someone sang at dawn
Leaving the dear home
Will you be in December
With me again, my dear
