Long, however you look in the envelope, a leaflet, -
The last terms have passed!
But because he is in the Far East,
That is far in the east...

Impatiently you are awaiting an answer -
News with a few words...
We meet here at daybreaks
Eight hours earlier.

Here roar the steamers till the morning
Surrounded by oceanic noises -
Not because it is called the Pacific,
It is indeed pacific.

Impatiently you are awaiting an answer -
News with a few words...
We meet here at daybreaks
Eight hours earlier.

Don’t get frightened about stories,
As if here is the very brink of the world, -
Behind is still Sachalin, and then -
Our round planet.

Impatiently you are awaiting an answer -
News with a few words...
We meet here at daybreaks
Eight hours earlier.

They say - here is, of course, not the paradise,
But the correspondence is intolerable, -
You know that, my love, you are summoned:
The Far East - that is near!

Soon you will get an answer -
News with a few words!
Together we would meet at daybreaks -
Eight hours earlier!
