You're in my soul. I can't explain how much you mean to me.
Emphasizing the deep emotional connection to the hometown residing within the speaker's soul.
Long years, long trying years, away from home. I
Describing the lengthy and challenging years spent away from home in a foreign land.
N a foreign country. So strange, so very strange, it feels so strange.
Conveying the unfamiliar and strange feeling of being in a foreign country.
To be back here again., Can't wait to see
Anticipation and excitement about returning to the hometown, eager to reunite with friends and family.
What happened to my friends, my family.
Curiosity about the well-being and changes in the lives of friends and family.
Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg.
Shock and disbelief at the renaming of the home city to St. Petersburg.
What's going on? Where are all the friend I had.
Expressing confusion and concern about the whereabouts of old friends.
It's all wrong, I'm feeling lost like I just don't belong.
Feeling out of place and disconnected, questioning the changes that occurred during the speaker's absence.
Give me back, give me back my Leningrad.
An emotional plea to restore the original name, Leningrad, to the hometown.
No one, I blame no one, it's no ones fault. That the times have changed.
Acceptance of the inevitability of change and the passing of time.
Go on, Oh life goes on, I'll carry on.
Acknowledging that life continues despite challenges, expressing resilience.

Give me back, give me back my Leningrad.
Repeating the emotional plea to revert the city's name to Leningrad.
