Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Although the snow covers the hope of Spring
Somewhere a hill blossoms in green and gold
And there are dreams, all that your heart can hold
Someday we'll meet again, my love
Someday whenever the Spring breaks through
Warm as the wind, soft as the kiss of snow
Lara, my own, think of me now and then
Godspeed, my love, till you are mine again
Warm as the wind, soft as the kiss of snow
Godspeed, my love, till you are mine again

Somewhere my love there will be songs to sing
Despite the current bleakness, there is hope for the future where music and joy will be found
Although the snow covers the hope of Spring
The current circumstances may seem hopeless and cold, but Spring will come eventually

Interestingly- owing to the book being banned in the USSR- a copy was smuggled out to friends of the family who had emigrated to Italy- they got it translated into Italian, and that was the first published and available for sale edition. It was only in Gorbachev's time that Boris Pasternak's granddaughter was able to pick up him Nobel Prize on his behalf, with Gorbachev's approval.

Modern world, and beauty? Sounds a lot like an oxymoron, no? (Could I get away with saying 'oxymoronic'?)
