To My Native City Murmansk

My kind and dear priceless midnight city!
So many miles assemble to separate...
My beloved land with snowdrifts made of silver!
These words to you I want to dedicate!

Remember you with all my heart affection:
My childhood's been the best because of you!
My soul sinks with joy and warm reflection,
And only you have shown me what is true...

You gave me all the things I have today:
My friends, my love, success and happiness.
Your winters keep me warm when I'm away:
Your frost for always favours with caress.

You're all my life - I miss you every moment
With longing for your perfect northern lights.
I feel your love that is for me the strongest:
I am the part of you, you're - of my heart!

I bless you for the warmth of people's smiles,
For friends devoted, for the lightest moon,
For frankness of the blue of native skies,
For all! There is no other home, but you!
