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!
