Anna German "Берёза" lyrics

Берёза

Берёза, берёза, лет двести шумела,А время настало, и ты постарела.Берёза, такой тебя вижу впервые –Засохшие ветви, как космы седые...Шуршат пожелтевшие листья в тревоге,И ты, как старушка, стоишь у дороги.Стоишь ты, сутулая, на перекрёстке,Кругом поднимаются дочки-берёзки,Набросив на плечи зелёные шали,Девчушки расходятся в дальние дали...Бегут врассыпную, шагают рядами,Ведут о тебе разговоры с ветрами...

Берёза, берёза, стареешь, тоскуя...Но я не покину тебя и такую!Весной, как и прежде, к тебе устремляюсь –Так вешней порой возвращается аист,Заботясь о детях, гнездо обновляя...Берёза, берёза, навеки родная!

The Birch

Oh birch, birch, the wind was playing with your beautiful crown for at least 200 years. But now you are getting old. Oh Birch, its a first time I see you this way - your dry brunches look like plaits of grey hair.You are standing by the side of the road and reminding of an old woman bent under a burden of years. Young new birches are growing near you, they are fresh and beautiful and their shoulders covered by green shawls of leaves. There are many of them. They are all over. They are gossiping about you with the winds.

Oh birch, birch, you are getting old and grief-stricken, but I will never leave you, no matter what. When the spring starts I will come to you just like I always did. Just like a stork comes back in the spring to it's old nest, I will come back to you. Oh birch, you are forever close to my hear.
