The Unfaithful One

A field of blooming daisies, the grass is green and bright.
Oh tell me, dearest Kolya,
Why am I not right?
How happy were we both then,
Beside the river's flow.
But now you've left me,
Why did you go?
But now you've left me,
Tell me, why go?

I blamed myself so often, I felt the guilt and pain.
But then I found your heart had betrayed me once again.
You found a girl who's better, you found a girl more fair,
You forgot your Masha, and you didn't care.

Oh, I truly loved you, and you loved me too,
But you cut our love down,
Like a lilac through.
All the leaves have fallen, love has died away,
You walk with another,
Happy, so they say.
You walk with another,
Love is on display.

Believe me, my dear one, I won't be alone,
This cold grief will vanish, like a river stone.
Many handsome fellows follow in my track,
I'll forget you, Kolya, and I won't look back.

But then you came quite lately,
Standing at my door.
You blocked my path and passage,
Like you did before.
And you said: "Forgive me, Masha, dear and true,
No one else can ever
Take the place of you."
"No one else can ever
Take the place of you."

Go away, I tell you, don't break my life.
I love my Sergey now, I'll be his wife.
I know how it's cruel to break a heart in two
Get off my porch now, I'm done with you.

Then said Kolya to me:
"You still love me so,
Marrying another
Is a path of woe."
But I told him simply:
"Everything is cold.
I love someone better,
You aren't my gold."
"I love someone better,
You aren't my gold."

Nikolay, farewell now, don't come again,
A new fate is shining, far from all the pain.
He who once betrays you, can't be trusted more,
Such a love brings only trouble to your door.
