Sonia

The immense expanse of the steppesLa inmensa extension de las estepas
Covered by the white snowCubiertas por la blanca nieve están
And the walls of this prisonY son de este presidio las murallas
So high that not even the sun can be seen shining.Tan altas que ni el sol se ve alumbrar.
The cells are covered by the snowLas celdas por la nieve estan cubiertas
And inside a cell, a man isY dentro de una celda un hombre está
His feverish eyes see ghostsSus ojos afiebrados ven fantasmas
And he sings a song that makes one cry.Y canta una canción que hace llorar.

Sonia, Sonia, your black hairSonia, sonia tus cabellos negros
In dreams, I kissed a thousand times.En sueños mil veces besé yo.
I will never be able to forget youNunca yo podre olvidarte
You are the beautiful flower of the Volga.Tu del volga eres bella flor.

Sonia, Sonia, my existence diesSonia, sonia mi existencia muere
Enclosed in this great prisonEncerrada en esta gran prision
And before the snow presses on my heartY antes que la nieve me apresione el corazon
I want my curse to reach you.Quiero llegue a ti mi maldicion.

When you were my wife, I loved youCuando eras mi esposa yo te amaba
And with my love, I gave you lifeY con mi amor la vida yo te di
Blind with passion, I did not guessY ciego de pasión no adivinaba
That vile betrayal that I discoveredAquella vil traición que sorprendí
Your lips were prey to other lipsTus labios de otros labios eran presa
And I saw a man embrace youY a un hombre vi que el cuello te ciño
Then I plunged my dagger into his chestEntonces mi puñal hundí en su pecho
And the judge condemned only me.Y el juez tan solo a mí me condenó.

Sonia, Sonia, I don't know if you existSonia, sonia yo no se si existes
Nothing from this world reaches meNada de este mundo llega a mi
Only hordes of CossacksSolo, hordas de cosacos
And hungry wolves are hereY de hambrientos lobos hay aqui
Although my memory in your mindAunque mi recuerdo en tu memoria
May no longer be your happinessPor ser tu dichosa ya no este
In your dreams, I will appear like a ghostEn tus sueños cual fantasma aparecere
And remind you of this story...Y esta historia te recordare......
