I’m deeply cleaving for you – Caucasus bonnie
How could the steppe nightingales
Rival your sweet singing?
That year spring came so quickly
Under the hawthorn tree you danced so
Trippingly yet suddenly!
A bolt of news came from my
Native place I rushed back to the
Rubber jungles in flame of war
Sometimes I dreamt of
You – Caucasus bonnie under that river-side
Hawthorn tree I was stringing
Balalaika (1) ah! You asked when
I might visit our trysting place
Again then smiled me a light smile
Touching me merrily and sorely
Ah! Under that river-side hawthorn tree
I’d tenderly
Kiss you under that river-side
Hawthorn tree ah! I tenderly
Kissed you
Again I wander Caucasus to seek for
Bonnie my flame
That steppe silver moon
Reminds me of your round face
And yet I dread whether
Can we rendezvous afresh?
Under such auld hawthorn tree
By the river-side my heart is
Sobbing my heart is sobbing

我深深思念你
美丽的高加索姑娘，
草原的夜莺，
怎能比你的歌声甜？
那年春天来得十分快；
河边山楂树下，
你的舞姿翩翩。
忽然传来
故乡的消息，
我匆匆回到
烽火的胶林，
有时梦见你高加索姑娘，
河边的山楂树下，
我弹着贝勒莱克琴①。
啊！你问我哪一天
能够来河边相会？
还对我微微一笑，
我快乐又悲伤。
啊！河边的山楂树下，
我轻轻吻过你，
河边的山楂树下，
啊！我轻轻吻着你… …
我又来到高加索
寻找我可爱的姑娘，
草原的明月，
教我想起你的脸儿圆，
不知天涯能否
再见到你？
河边山楂树下，
我的心儿在哭泣，
我的心儿
在哭泣。
