Dmitri Hvorostovsky - Tolko Raz (extract from Krasnoyarsk Concert 2011)

Только раз
Day and night the heart drops sweet caresses,
Day and night the head swirls wild with glee,
Day and night as fevered tale excesses
Your soft words ring true to me:
Only once in lifetime meetings happen,
Only once the fate rips silken string,
Only once on cold night in late autumn
Love is all I want to bring.
The last ray of sunset glow grows colder,
And the flowers're shrouded in blue gleam.
Where are you, the one I used to long for?
Where are you, the long forgotten dreams?
Only once in lifetime meetings happen,
Only once the fate rips silken string,
Only once on cold night in late autumn
Love is all I want to bring.
