Белые розы [Belye rozy] [English translation]

It's a bit warmer behind the glass, but during severe frosts,

I enter these doors as if there's a garden of July flowers here.

I long to make them warm, but I'm willing

To kiss and caress white roses in front of everyone.

I long to make them warm, but I'm willing

To kiss and caress white roses in front of everyone.

White roses, white roses,

Defenceless thorns.

What did snow and frosts do to them,

What did the ice of blue shop-windows do to them?

People will decorate their holiday party with you

Just for a few days

And they leave you to die

In the cold white window.

People take you home, and late in the evening

Light will fill all the windows in an instant.

Whose crazy idea was it to grow you in winter, o white roses,

And take you to the world of fierce blizzards and cold winds?
