Не сразу всё устроилось, | Everything was not settled at once, |
Москва не сразу строилась, | Moscow was not build in a day, |
Москва слезам не верила, | Moscow didn't believe in tears, |
А верила любви. | But believed in love. |
Снегами запорошена, | Powered with snow, |
Листвою заворожена, | The hibernating foliage |
Найдёт тепло прохожему, | Will find its way to warmth |
Александра, Александра, | Alexandra, Alexandra, |
Этот город наш с тобою, | This city is ours together, |
Стали мы его судьбою - | We have become its fate – |
Ты вглядись в его лицо. | Have a look at its face. |
Чтобы ни было вначале, | No matter what happened before, |
Утолит он все печали. | Its satisfied all your sorrow. |
Вот и стало обручальным | The Garden Ring became |
Москву рябины красили, | Rowans painted Moscow, |
Дубы стояли князями, | The oaks became princes, |
Но не они, а ясени | But it was them, but the ash trees |
Без спросу наросли. | That grew without asking. |
Москва не зря надеется, | Moscow doesn't hope in vain, |
Что вся в листву оденется, | That they all be dressed in foliage, |
Москва найдёт для деревца | Moscow will find for trees |
Александра, Александра, | Alexandra, Alexandra, |
Что там вьётся перед нами? | What is twisting ahead of us? |
Это ясень семенами | That the seeds from an ash tree |
Кружит вальс над мостовой. | Waltzing over the pavement. |
Ясень с видом деревенским | An ash tree overlooking a village |
Приобщился к вальсам венским. | Has joined the Viennese waltzes. |
Он пробьётся, Александра, | It will make its way, Alexandra, |
Москва тревог не прятала, | Moscow didn't hide from troubles, |
Москва видала всякое, | Moscow have seen it all, |
Hо беды все и горести | But all the troubles |
Склонялись перед ней. | And sorrows bowed before it. |
Любовь Москвы не быстрая, | The love for Moscow doesn't come fast, |
Hо верная и чистая, | But is true and pure, |
Поскольку материнская | The way a mother's love |
Александра, Александра, | Alexandra, Alexandra, |
Этот город наш с тобою. | This city is ours together, |
Стали мы его судьбою, | We have become its fate – |
Ты вглядись в его лицо. | Have a look at its face. |
Что бы ни было вначале, | No matter what happened before, |
Утолит он все печали. | Its satisfied all our sorrow. |
Вот и стало обручальным | The Garden Ring became |
Нам садовое кольцо! | Our engagement ring! |
