| NOT FOR ME | NOT FOR ME |
| | |
| Not for me comes spring, | The spring is coming, but not for me; |
| Not for me the Don flows. | The Don will overflow, but not for me. |
| There is a girl's heart filled | There a maiden heart will begin pounding |
| With delightful feelings - not for me. | In a rapture of emotions - but not for me. |
| | |
| Not for me do gardens flower, | Gardens are blooming, but not for me; |
| In the valley, a grove blooms, | In the vale, a grove is blossoming... |
| There, a nightingale meets spring, | And there a nightingale will welcome the spring, |
| He will sing - not for me. | And he'll keep on singing - but not for me. |
| | |
| Not for me flow streams, | Brooks are purling, but for me; |
| Murmuring diamond brooks, | As streams of diamond they flow, |
| There is a maiden with black eyebrows, | And there is a maiden with black eyebrows there, |
| She grows - not for me. | And is growing up - but not for me. |
| | |
| Not for me comes Easter, | Easter is on its way, but it is not for me; |
| At the table all relatives will gather, | The old folks back home will gather around the table |
| "Christ has risen" will pour from their lips, | And "Christ is risen!" will pour out of every mouth |
| Easter day is not for me. | On Easter Day - but not for me. |
| | |
| Not for me the flowers bloom, | Flowers are flowering, but not for me; |
| The fragrant rose will fade its color, | The rose will unfurl it's fragrant bloom, |
| Pick a flower and it will wilt | And if you pick it, it will wilt; |
| Such a life is not for me. | But that life - that life is not for me. |
| | |
| For me there is a piece of lead, | Yet, a lead pellet - that IS for me; |
| Which will dig into my white body, | It will pierce my white body |
| And bitter tears will be shed. | And bitter tears will pour.... |
| Such a life, brother, waiting for me. | That's the life, brother, that's the life that awaits me. |
