Russian Girl

Russia I departed, but at heart we never parted,

Understanding but poorly speaking, I

Say with pride I am from there, reading

So as writing I comprehend less, but

I don't capitulate,

And I try and try, to learn my culture so my ancestors do

Not frown upon me. Russian


Girl I still remain, because it is in my blood,

I will not blank out,

Russian is who I will forever want to be,

Loving it until the end of time.
