Ti chasto sheptal mne 'Ya budu tebya zhdat’'
You often whispered to me 'I will wait for you'
Ti zhe pomnish’? A vdrug yeshche ti zhdesh’
Do you remember? What if you're still waiting
No kak ya smogu proverit’?
But how can I check?
Ya prosto ne znayu
I just do not know
Razrivayus’, serdtse teryayu
I'm torn, I'm losing my heart
V ruke szhimayu schastlivii bilet tuda
I’m squeezing a lucky ticket there in my hand
Otkuda tak toropilas’, navernoe, ostupilas’
Why were you in such a hurry, I must have stumbled
Nu, chto mne izmenit’?
Well, what should I change?
Mne ochen’ zhal’, moya lyubov’
I'm sorry, my love
Ya tochno znayu, ne zabudu tebya
I know for sure I won't forget you
Mne ochen’ zhal’ i na voskhod
I'm very sorry and at sunrise
Ya ulechu Moskva-Vladivostok
I will fly Moscow-Vladivostok
Mne ochen’ zhal’, moya lyubov’
I'm sorry, my love
Ya tochno znayu, ne zabudu tebya
I know for sure I won't forget you
Mne ochen’ zhal’ i na voskhod
I'm very sorry and at sunrise
Ya ulechu Moskva-Vladivostok
I will fly Moscow-Vladivostok
Kuda-to tak tyanet, chto tam obmanet
It's so tempting to go somewhere that it will deceive you
Ya ne znayu, vnutri yeshche bolit
I don't know, it still hurts inside
No ne povernu obratno
But I won't turn back
Uzhe ya ne plachu
I'm not crying anymore
Ya naudachu serdtse ne pryachu
I don't hide my heart at random
I budu khranit’ ya moi starii bilet k tebe
And I will keep my old ticket to you
Zachem zhe s toboi prostilas’
Why did I say goodbye to you?
Ti znaesh’, ya ne smirilas’, nu, chto mne izmenit’?
You know, I haven’t accepted it, so what can I change?
Mne ochen’ zhal’, moya lyubov’
I'm sorry, my love
Ya tochno znayu, ne zabudu tebya
I know for sure I won't forget you
Mne ochen’ zhal’ i na voskhod
I'm very sorry and at sunrise
Ya ulechu Moskva-Vladivostok
I will fly Moscow-Vladivostok
Mne ochen’ zhal’, moya lyubov’
I'm sorry, my love
Ya tochno znayu, ne zabudu tebya
I know for sure I won't forget you
Mne ochen’ zhal’ i na voskhod
I'm very sorry and at sunrise
Ya ulechu Moskva-Vladivostok
I will fly Moscow-Vladivostok

наудачу — at random / by chance / for luck
Наудачу is an interesting adverb that means 'at random', 'by chance', or 'for luck'. It implies taking a risk or making a decision without a clear plan, hoping for a positive outcome.
In the song, the singer declares, "Я наудачу сердце не прячу" (I don't hide my heart for luck/by chance). This line suggests a shift from past regret to a new openness and willingness to take a chance on love, making it a pivotal and emotionally charged word in the lyrics.
Yuliya Savicheva's "Москва-Владивосток" (Moskva-Vladivostok) is a really emotional journey about a love that's hard to let go of. The singer is torn, remembering how her love often whispered, "Я буду тебя ждать" [I will wait for you]. She wonders if he's still waiting, but doesn't know how to find out. It's a feeling many of us can relate to – that lingering hope mixed with uncertainty.
She's holding a "счастливый билет туда" [lucky ticket there], back to a place she rushed away from, feeling like she might have made a mistake. Despite the pain inside, she's determined not to turn back. She's not crying anymore and isn't hiding her heart, even keeping that old ticket as a reminder. It's a powerful declaration of regret and enduring affection, as she repeatedly sings, "Мне очень жаль, моя любовь / Я точно знаю, не забуду тебя" [I'm very sorry, my love / I know for sure, I won't forget you], as she flies off from Moscow to Vladivostok.
