Vladimir Prison-house
Again the spring has come,
And warming rays of sun
Are looking in my cell through window-panes
Again the heart will ache
The feelings will awake
And memory recalls auld days
Those days will come to me
And I shall feel and see
The girl whom I loved so long ago
That girl came and left
That girl I can’t forget
Her image’s always in my soul.
Refrain:
Vladimir prison-house
Сold northern wind
My transport came from Tver
And all my evil deeds
Lie on my heart like heavy weights
Vladimir prison-house (and)
cold wind from north
I played my life like cards
And now my game’s lost
Not with one pip, but, as it happens
With eleven and an ace.
I see from my small cage
A narrow thawed patch
A sign for me that spring has come indeed
And now I am pleased
That I have this at least
It is your love I deeply need.
Refrain:
Vladimir prison-house,
cold northern wind
My transport came from Tver
And all my evil deeds
Lie on my heart like heavy weights
Vladimir prison-house (and)
cold wind from north
I played my life like cards
But now my game’s lost
Not with one pip, but, as it happens,
With eleven and an ace
