Why? A Romance. Music by A. D. Davydov

Tell me, why did we ever meet?
Why did I fall in love with you?
Why did your gaze answer me with a smile
And give me happiness in life?

They'll take you away from me,
You are not mine, you are not mine!
They'll take you away from me,
You are not mine, I am not yours!

It's not my fate to see your kisses,
Nor will I get to hear your voice,
I will not get to share your sufferings
And the quiet joy of you!

They'll take you away from me,
You are not mine, you are not mine!
They'll take you away from me,
You are not mine, I am not yours!

But if you, when you see my passion,
Come back to me, desired one,
Then I'll uncover happpiness in your life,
You will forget the world with me.

They'll take you away from me,
You are not mine, you are not mine!
They'll take you away from me,
You are not mine, I am not yours!
