Night St. Petersburg

How lovely night St. Petersburg! Nevsky Prospekt Is still one from the most beautiful views in the world, With his color fires. Through 300 years, Through many, many days. The silhouettes of bridges And ancient lanterns still – are fine! Here the charming old lattice keeps Old Summer Garden near the river Neva, Here among ancient lindens Marble sculptures talk with each other. In the lake are two white swans They are the bewitched Prince and Princess. And the moon has looked at all this beauty more than 300 years. The night in St. Petersburg. In windows of fine houses Silent waltz in the nights And the shadows of gentlemen and ladies Who lived here some time are dancing here. Nevsky Prospekt, Have good luck always! Give us your fires, love and charm again, Ah, How lovely you are, my night-time St. Petersburg!
