Catherine (Soviet Songs in English)

As the morning mist over the river

Fills the blooming orchards far and wide

And the trees with a morning chill still quiver,

Catherine walks out to the riverside.

She comes singing songs about an eagle

Soaring proudly in the sky above

And the one in the service of his people

Whom young Catherine genuinely loves.

May her songs fly over the valley

Rising high to ring out loud and clear.

May they follow her letters she can't tally

To that soldier on the far frontier.

He will see her standing by the water.

He will hear her songs from up above.

As he keeps vigil to protect our borders,

His sweet Catherine will preserve their love.

As the morning mist over the river

Fills the blooming orchards far and wide

And the trees with a morning chill still quiver,

Catherine walks out to the riverside.
