Romans "One Summer Night":

As one summer night
In prison, the window
Standing at a young prisoner
Bars and hands shook. (2 × 2)

He saw meadows and fields,
Which well-known,
I even remember the times
Last youthfulness. (2 × 2)

As one summer night
Vietelėj in one beautiful,
Lit by the moon,
He went to the virgin. (2 × 2)

It was nice to put pressure on the heart
And close to the face myself,
And when you wanted kissed,
This is it he did not go deeper. (2 × 2)

And he began to doubt,
And he pinched the heart,
She promised to freely give
And pushed the knife in hand. (2 × 2)

The breeze was blowing from afar
Far away to the east.
The rutting hair gently to her,
She is lying in blood. (2 × 2)
