Oh my love, I'm going on on a journey leaving on an eastbound train In the lit-up city, I plan to spend my time searching, searching for something to give you [Woman] No, dear, There's nothing I want. Except for you to come back not dyed in city colors not dyed in city colors [Man] Oh my love, half a year has passed We haven't seen each other, but please don't cry. I'm sending you a ring that's fashionable in town right now It suits you, it suits you, as it should [Woman] No, even diamonds of the stars Even pearls sleeping in the sea I'm sure nothing but your kiss could surpass their shine could surpass their shine [Man] Oh my love, you're still innocent You don't even wear lipstick, do you？ You might not recognize me Look at this photograph of me dressed in a fancy suit [Woman] No, I liked the sight of you lying in the grass But now you're in a cold city blowing winty wind Please take care of yourself Please take care of yourself [Man] Oh my love, I'm forgetting you Please forgive me for changing Every day I'm happy spending my time on street corner I can't, I can't return home [Woman] Dear, I have just one last request To wipe my tears send me a cotton handkerchief, please send me a cotton handkerchief, please |
