Ya bil tak dolgo daleko
I've been away for so long
V doroge po tebe skuchal ya
I missed you on the road
Ti otvedi moi pechali
Take away my sorrows
I pripadi ko mne shchekoi
And rest your cheek on me
Ti vse chto yest’, nesi na stol
Bring everything you have to the table
Ostav’ na posle zlie vesti
Leave the bad news for later
Mi nakonets-to snova vmeste
We're finally together again
Ya priletel chasov na sto
I arrived at about a hundred hours
Skorei snimi moyu ustalost’
Quickly relieve my fatigue
Segodnya dolgo ne usnem
We won't sleep for a long time today
I ne grusti, pust’ nam ostalos’
And don't be sad, let us have what's left
Vsego lish’ sto chasov vdvoem
Just a hundred hours together
Ti izmenilas’, pokhudev
You've changed by losing weight
I dazhe viglyadish’ molozhe
And you even look younger
Ti stala mne yeshche dorozhe
You have become even more dear to me
Takikh ne videl ya nigde
I've never seen anything like this anywhere
Prosti, ya snova bez tsvetov
Sorry, I'm without flowers again
No ya poldnya motalsya v nebe
But I spent half a day in the sky
A v nebe vzyat’ ikh prosto negde
And there’s simply nowhere in the sky to take them
Khot’ za chervonets, khot’ za sto
Even for a chervonets, even for a hundred
Skorei snimi moyu ustalost’
Quickly relieve my fatigue
Segodnya dolgo ne usnem
We won't sleep for a long time today
I ne grusti, pust’ nam ostalos’
And don't be sad, let us have what's left
Vsego lish’ sto chasov vdvoem
Just a hundred hours together
Bilie vstrechi mirazhi
Past meetings mirages
Menya zhdet put’ nelegkii dal’nii
A difficult long journey awaits me
Tebya venok iz ozhidanii
A wreath of expectations for you
Na vsyu ostavshuyusya zhizn’
For the rest of my life
Vse uteshen’ya zvuk pustoi
All consolation sounds empty
O nikh ne mozhet bit’ i rechi
They are out of the question
No znayu, ti dozhdesh’sya vstrechi
But I know you'll wait until we meet
Ya prilechu chasov na sto
I'll fly for a hundred hours
Skorei snimi moyu ustalost’
Quickly relieve my fatigue
Segodnya dolgo ne usnem
We won't sleep for a long time today
I ne grusti, pust’ nam ostalos’
And don't be sad, let us have what's left
Vsego lish’ sto chasov vdvoem
Just a hundred hours together

червонец — chervonets (a gold coin, ten rubles)
Червонец (chervonets) refers to a historical Russian gold coin, originally worth ten rubles. It's a fascinating word that evokes a sense of history and a specific cultural context, making it less common than everyday currency terms.
In the song, the line "Хоть за червонец, хоть за сто" (Whether for a chervonets, or for a hundred) is used to emphasize the impossibility of buying flowers in the sky, regardless of the price. It highlights the protagonist's regret and the unique circumstances of his journey.
Yurii Loza sings about a brief homecoming — a traveler back after being away too long, telling her to set the bad news aside: "Мы наконец-то снова вместе" ("We're finally together again"). The title comes from the promise he repeats through the chorus, "Я прилетел часов на сто" ("I arrived for about a hundred hours") — he only has a hundred hours before he has to leave again, so he wants her to shake off her tiredness and stay up with him: "Скорей сними мою усталость, сегодня долго не уснем" ("Quickly relieve my fatigue, we won't sleep for a long time tonight").
By the final verse the mood turns wistful — another hard, long journey is already waiting for him, "Меня ждет путь нелегкий дальний" ("A difficult, long journey awaits me") — but he insists she'll see him again: "Но знаю, ты дождешься встречи" ("But I know you'll wait until we meet").
