Lyrics & translation
Verse
Пар поднимается на холоде.
Steam rises in the cold.
Часы на платформе бьют двенадцать.
The platform clock strikes twelve.
Отец садится в поезд.
A father boards the train.
В его чемодане вся жизнь.
His suitcase holds his life.
Девочка бежит сквозь снег.
A girl runs through snow.
Ее варежки машут в воздухе.
Her mittens wave in air.
"Подожди меня!" — кричит она.
"Wait for me!" she cries.
Двигатель начинает громко реветь.
Engine starts to roar loudly.
Chorus
Подожди еще одну минуту.
Wait just one minute more.
Рождественский свисток звучит позже.
The Christmas whistle blows late.
Пусть она обнимет его крепко.
Let her hug him tight.
Подожди еще одну минуту.
Wait just one minute more.
Verse
Проводник поднимает руку.
The train guard raises his hand.
Зеленый свет пока не горит.
Green light stays dark now.
Правила подождут сегодня, друг.
Rules can wait tonight, friend.
Chorus
Подожди еще одну минуту.
Wait just one minute more.
Рождественский свисток звучит позже.
The Christmas whistle blows late.
Пусть она обнимет его крепко.
Let her hug him tight.
Подожди еще одну минуту.
Wait just one minute more.
Outro
Рельсы ведут их домой.
The tracks lead them home.
Любовь сегодня пришла вовремя.
Love is on time tonight.
Счастливого Рождества всем людям.
Merry Christmas to all people.
