Wait For Me and I'Ll Be Back By Konstantin Simonov

Wait for me and I’ll be back Only wait for me, When your sadness turns in black, Yellow rains are free. When the snows fall down like fate, When there is a heat, When the others cannot wait, Don’t remember a bit. Wait when from the far-far place Letters cannot come, Wait when they’ve got tired face thinking all is gone. Wait for me and I’ll be back, Don’t be kind with those Who in heart is turning black, Who forgot and lost. Let believe my son and mom I am here no more. Friends will say that I am gone near fire in woe, They will drink their bitter wine to remember the soul, wait. With them at the same time Do not drink in mourn. Wait for me and I’ll be back in spite of any woes, Who couldn’t wait and find my track will say: lucky you both. They will never understand, When the fire got free You have saved with faithful hand waiting so for me. How did I survive – we’re two known. And no one tells You could wait for me, just you, Like nobody else. P.S. This is my translation of poem of Konstantin Simonov. He was war journalist during World War II
