Of modern and true love // О современной и настоящей любви

Now they are waiting for their orders.
Which waiter brings right here – aboard,
The landscapes, grand and unexplored,
Like in a greenery, while they float.

Dmitriy:

“Nadezhda, see, what I know now
About you it really not too much
While in the park we met somehow,
Our fate exactly was as such.

What hopes and plans you cherished
In life before our meeting there,
And had your heart been captured?
What troubles were for you to care?”

Nadezhda:

“My life went silently and worthy:
Assiduous study, parents’ home,
Then it became just somewhat boring,
I found no place in it anymore

I went to Moscow for career
I found a job, plunged into it,
I had no time for love arranging here,
No time for friends, who finally quit.

And you? What can you tell me now?
Can you confess in love affairs, and which?
The question is the same for you: tell, how
Many girls you managed to bewitch?”

Dmitriy:

“My story is so much resembling
Yours, I duly studied, then I worked,
And truly, at those time went dating
Can’t tell you just what it was for.
When I met you, it went unreal.
How much time’s lost in emptiness,
To look into your eyes is little,
Is not enough for me, I guess.”

Nadezhda:

“You aren’t alike all those
To whom I chanced to talk before?
By this love’s trespass, I suppose,
I have been caught, don’t know what for.

Your openness is a caress for my soul,
And I confess to you the thought of mine:
I’ll follow you even when it’s cold
No matter where, and how and why.”

While they discussed each other’s story,
And gentle words of love they found,
The dinner for them was being serving,
From such a plenty their heads went round.

For all these things were his arrangement,
And this was for her surprise
So let it be champagne and candles,
Wine poured slowly in the glass.

Dmitriy:

“I drink a toast to the splendid evening,
Which is continued now, today,
And after all, had this meeting
I hope, just for the happiness’ sake.”

Nadezhda:

“This moment the was really long-awaited
And now I agree with you again
Let happiness of our be painted
With love, for years, not in vain!”

Onlookers go round, near and far
There’s so much envy in their eyes,
As if this couple were the stars
And each their movement was a surprise.

But no! This is rarely to happen,
When love in brought to us by fate,
It’s pity for the ones, for sure:
Who read this and… don’t understand.

Dmitriy:

“And now along the park we’re swimming,
The park where suddenly we’ve met
It’s like a mystery beginning:
One thought and it’s in front of me.”

Nadezhda:
