When I Was Most Beautiful - Pete Seegertranslation in Russian

When I Was Most Beautiful

Когда я был самым красивым

When I was most beautiful,

Когда я был самым красивым,

Cities were falling

Города падали,

And from unexpected places

И из неожиданных мест

Blue sky was seen.

Было видно голубое небо.

When I was most beautiful,

Когда я был самым красивым,

People around me were killed.

Люди вокруг меня погибали.

And for paint and powder

И ради румян и пудры

I lost the chance.

Я упускал свой шанс.

When I was most beautiful,

Когда я был самым красивым,

Nobody gave me kind gifts,

Никто не дарил мне добрых подарков,

Men knew only how to salute

Мужчины умели только салютовать

And went away.

И уходили прочь.

When I was most beautiful,

Когда я был самым красивым,

My country lost the war.

Моя страна проиграла войну.

I paraded the main street

Я шествовал по главной улице,

With my blouse sleeves rolled high!

Высоко закатав рукава!

When I was most beautiful,

Когда я был самым красивым,

Jazz overflowed the radio,

Джаз лился из радиоприемника,

I broke the prohibition against smoking

Я нарушал запрет на курение,

Sweet music of another land!

Сладкая музыка чужой земли!

When I was most beautiful,

Когда я был самым красивым,

I was most unhappy,

Я был самым несчастным,

I was quite absurd,

Я был совершенно нелеп,

I was quite lonely.

Я был совершенно одинок.
