Classic poetry | what is lost never returns

What is lost never returns

Text/Yesenin

I can't recall that cool night,

I can't see my girlfriend's shadow again,

I couldn't hear the nightingale,

Sing happy songs in the garden.

The enchanting spring night flew away,

You can't make it come again.

The autumn of The Depression has arrived,

The rain is endless and endless.

The girlfriend in the grave is sleeping soundly,

Bury the flame of love in your heart,

The autumn rainstorm did not awaken her dreams,

Nor could it make her blood boil again.

The song of the nightingale has fallen silent,

Because the nightingale has flown overseas,

The beautiful song that resounds in the cool night sky,

It has also calmed down forever.

The joy of the past experience in life,

It has long been flying without hope,

Only cool feelings remain in my heart,

What is lost, never to be returned.
