Stumbled upon this song and i really like it. A blast from the past.
Alla Pugacheva — "A Million Scarlet Roses"
Song lyrics:
There once lived a painter,
Who had a little house and canvases.
But he loved an actress,
The one who loved flowers.
So then he sold his house,
Sold his paintings and his shelter,
And with all the money he bought
An entire sea of flowers.
A million, a million,
A million scarlet roses
From the window, from the window,
From the window you can see.
Whoever is in love, whoever is in love,
Whoever is truly in love,
Will turn their whole life
Into flowers for you.
In the morning you'll stand by the window,
Perhaps you'll think you've gone mad—
As if continuing a dream,
The square is filled with flowers.
Your soul will grow cold:
"What rich man is doing this?"
And beneath your window, barely breathing,
Stands the poor painter.
A million, a million,
A million scarlet roses
From the window, from the window,
From the window you can see.
Whoever is in love, whoever is in love,
Whoever is truly in love,
Will turn their whole life
Into flowers for you.
The meeting was brief,
That night her train carried her away,
But in her life there remained
The mad song of roses.
The painter lived on alone,
He endured many hardships,
But in his life there remained
An entire square of flowers.
A million, a million,
A million scarlet roses
From the window, from the window,
From the window you can see.
Whoever is in love, whoever is in love,
Whoever is truly in love,
Will turn their whole life
Into flowers for you.
