St. Petersburg

Aglaya wouldn't draw a face like the one I've seen in Switzerland,
'Said I was in love, but I haven't been in love, I haven't been, but I
I have been happy, and I, I will tell you.

And when they saw that I had kissed Marie
I let them think that we were lovers.
They brought a dress and shoes and kissed Marie
These little ones my only friends.

Nastasya I have seen your face on the portrait in St. Petersburg
And I am in love—can you let yourself be loved?
You haven't been, but you,
You could be happy, but I, I can't decide for you

And when they saw that I had kissed Marie
I let them think that we were lovers.
They brought a dress and shoes and kissed Marie
These little ones my only friends.

And when we heard that we had lost Marie
We thought of all the teasing and the shame.
Even her mother said "you're vile, Marie,"
And the teacher and the preacher are to blame.
And the teacher and the preacher are to blame.
And the teacher and the preacher are to blame.
And the teacher and the preacher are to blame.

You look happy, you look happy, my dear,
You look happy and fine.
But you're hit, you are wounded,
you are bound by your body and mind.
Won't you take, won't you take me?
I'll give everything that I have to give.
But you run, and you leave me,
when you think you have no reason to live.

And when they saw that I had kissed Marie
I let them think that we were lovers.
They brought a dress and shoes and kissed Marie
These little ones my only friends.
And if they'd listened to you sing, Marie,
They'd want another and another.
They brought a dress and shoes and kissed Marie
These little ones my only friends.

And when they saw that I had kissed Marie
I let them think that we were lovers.
They brought a dress and shoes and kissed Marie
These little ones my only friends.
