00:00:09.935 --> 00:00:34.392
Driving on a troika decked with sleighbells,
With lights aflicker far away ahead,
Oh, if I only could drive off with you,
And let my longing heart wave in the wind.

00:00:34.642 --> 00:00:58.497
Refrain:
Along a distant road beneath a moonlit sky,
And with that song that flies afar and rings.
And that guitar of old astrung with seven strings
That brought me anguish in my younger nights.

00:01:02.887 --> 00:01:26.138
Living now with no joy and no torment,
I remember how the years went by,
And your hands of silver in the troika
That has flown away forever more.

00:01:26.388 --> 00:01:49.952
Refrain:
Along a distant road beneath a moonlit sky,
And with that song that flies afar and rings.
And that guitar of old astrung with seven strings
That brought me anguish in my younger nights.

00:01:55.090 --> 00:02:18.948
The days fly past and only bring more sadness,
I find forgetting what has been so hard.
Somehow, sometime soon to come, my darling,
You'll take me in that troika to my grave.

00:02:19.993 --> 00:02:43.648
Refrain:
Along a distant road beneath a moonlit sky,
And with that song that flies afar and rings.
And that guitar of old astrung with seven strings
That brought me anguish in my younger nights.
