Listen, Anna!

Сергей Поверский
Many years have past             
Since I left my hometown.
Many years have past
Since I had seen you last.               
Only in my mind
I can talk to you, Anna,
Only in my mind
You’re still mine.
               
Places where I’ve gone
I don’t want to remember.
Any one of them
Couldn’t remind me of home,
Home, where all of (a) sudden
I had to surrender 
To your crazy love
Anna - girl!
               
Wanted to break free
From your grips, my sweet Anna, 
Could not say “goodbye”
‘Cause escape was the way…
Only in my mind
I can talk to you now:
You will never
Let me to say:
               
Listen, Anna,
Believe me, I’m sorry
And regret
That it happened this way!
I’m another man now,
And only
What I need is
A chance to explain.
