It Was, It Was, It Was...
lyrics by Aleksandr Shapiro
Greener turns the forest and the field turns green,
I just want my freedom to pursue my dreams,
Like a worn-out dog I was on a leash with you,
Tired of so many things that you put me through.
Rather than to live with you, I'd take the noose,
I don't love you honestly, so just let me loose,
I'd leave the house and won't take a thing,
I'll live not worrying what the future brings.
It was, it was between us, it was and it is gone,
Yes, the sun was shining, but it soon went down,
Do not call me now to be with you once more,
I don't want to know your loving anymore.
I just want my freedom, I don't want your chains,
I'll take my loyal brown horse again,
Through the fields and rivers like the wind we'll ride
In the summer's tempest, bidding you goodbye.
Are we really suitable? -- I don't want to guess.
Is it really workable? -- May the Lord assess.
May this road lead me to my happiness,
You can't hold me prisoner in your emptiness.
Rather than to sin with you, I'd take the noose,
I don't love you honestly, so just let me loose,
I'd leave the house and won't take a thing,
I'll live not worrying what the future brings.
It was, it was between us, it was and it is gone,
Yes, the sun was shining, but it soon went down,
Do not call me now to be with you once more,
I don't want to know your loving anymore.
I just want my freedom, I don't want your chains,
I'll take my loyal brown horse again,
Through the fields and rivers like the wind we'll ride
In the summer's tempest, bidding you goodbye.
