all things took time to get settled in
Moscow took more than a day to build
Moscow did not believe in tears
but it believed in love
its layers of snows are covering
the thick hibernating foliage
that gives warmth to any passerby
and saplings to the land
Chorus:
Alexandra, Alexandra,
this city is ours together
it's become our fated journey
Let us gaze into its face
disregarding what has happened
it will alleviate your sorrows
it's become for us a meeting
at the place called Garden Ring
Moscow was painted by Rowan trees
and oaks have stood as princes grand
the ash tree plant is different
they grew without demand
The hope of the city's not in vain
all will be dressed in verdant green
and Moscow will find an edge of land
that's perfect for a tree
Chorus:
Alexandra, Alexandra,
what is it that flies before us
it's the airborne seeds from ash tree
spins a waltz above the street
and the ash tree's rustic splendor
comes and joins this waltz of Vienna
it will get through, Alexandra
it will breath the Moscow air
Moscow was open with all its woes
Moscow has seen everything and more
but all the trials and tragedies
had withered at the door
it takes time for Moscow love to start
however it's true and pure of heart
the same way you know a mother's care
is the strongest kind of love
Chorus:
Alexandra, Alexandra,
what is it that flies before us
it's the airborne seeds from ash tree
spins a waltz above the street
and the ash tree's rustic splendor
comes and joins this waltz of Vienna
it will get through, Alexandra
it will breath the Moscow air
Alexandra, Alexandra,
this city is ours together
it's become our fated journey
Let us gaze into its face
disregarding what has happened
it will alleviate your sorrows
it's become for us a meeting
at the place called Garden Ring
