Надежда Обухова Нет, не тебя/ A. Shishkin Romance

Надежда Обухова.Нет, не тебя так пылко я люблю (А.Шишкин — М.Лермонтов). Nadezhda ,ne tebja...(The one I am in love with isn’t really you). Russian Romance (A. Shishkin - M. Lermontov). The one I am in love with isn’t really you, Your charm is not for me, as it appears, I love in you the bygone pain and tears And the departed youth that I went through. And when, my friend, at times, I look at you, When deep into your eyes I do intently stare I hold a magic conversation, I declare! But you are not the one that I’m talking to. I talk with an engaging girl-fiend of my youth, And in your face I look for other features, The living lips are silent now and speechless, And in the eyes the fire has died down,in truth.
