Once upon a December

Yes, I am aware that it is not December. However, I know it is winter and this song is always reminiscent of those cold nights when I was a young one cooping up in front of the fire, watching Anastasia. I hope this song tickles your fancy while the winter winds keep you in. Enjoy...

Although its in Russian, there is an authenticity about it seeing as though it is a Russian legend.

Here are the lyrics:

Kak uzor na okne.
Like a pattern on a window.

Snova proshloe rjadom.
The past is near again.

Kto-to pel pesnju mne.
Someone sang a song to me.

V zimniy vecher kogda-to.
One winter night sometime.

Slovno v proshlom ozhilo.
As if coming alive in the past.

Ch'ikh-to bereznhykh ruk teplo.
The warmth of someone's gentle arms.

Vals izyskannykh gostey.
The waltz of exquisite guests.

I beg lihikh konei.
And brave horses running.

Val's kruzhil I njos menja.
The waltz spun and carried me.

Slovno v skazku svoju manja.
As if beckoning in its tale.

Pervyj bal I pervyj val's.
The first ball and the first waltz.

Svuchat vo mne sejchas.
Resound in me right now.

Zerkala v jantare.
Mirrors in amber.

Moj vostorg otrazhajut.
Reflect my delight.

Kto-to pel na zAre.
Someone sang at dawnbreak.

Dom rodnoj pokidaja.
Leaving her cherished home.

Budesh' ty v dekabre.
You will be, in December.

Vnov' so mnoj, dorogaja.
Again with me, darling.
