Moon and snow Star and ice The horseman rides As in a dream Under a cruel night sky Through a blizzard freezing On the highway is thrown A heart on snow How like an arrow the road Flies across the Russian Steppe Like a tear runs across a frozen cheek And like the thudding of the hooves I hear the rhythm of the song About a lonely rider dying on the road Oh how it curses Then it seduces Across the years I hear it Calling out to me The Russian song Such depth and meaning A tender dream With purity of heart How like an arrow the road Flies across the Russian Steppe Like a tear runs across a frozen cheek And like the thudding of the hooves I hear the rhythm of the song About a lonely rider dying on the road How like an arrow the road Flies across the Russian Steppe Like a tear runs across a frozen cheek And like the thudding of the hooves I hear the rhythm of the song About a lonely rider dying on the road
