lyrics

Alena, how did you forget our love, the happy memories that are unforgettable?
Our love started during our childhood. Do you remember when we were making a pot from mud? When we were building a house from tree branches? When we were swimming on the lakes? When we played on the grass with the beautiful flowers? And when we went to school?
Our friendship was like a model for others, but -
Oh Time! Oh Time! Oh Time! You are the boss of everything – you leave unforgettable memories. A lot of people are worried because of you! Oh Time, Oh Time!

Unexpectedly we were separated because of the war. There was a bombardment in the city, a big shaking, and life is separated in every direction. I never expected such a thing to happen.
Alena, always you are in my heart. I waited a long time to be reunited. Even I heard a lot of rumours about you, and at last, I started a new life and married another woman.
I will never forget the happy memories of the past.
I wish one day to see you again and I wish you the best in your life.
