The star called Sun -- Zvezda po Imeni Solntse -- Звезда по Имени Солнце
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anURcEjDUbI
White snow, grey ice
On the cracked earth.
Like a patchwork quilt on her—
A city in the loop of the road.
And above the city, clouds float
Hiding the light of the sky
And above the city – yellow smoke
The city is two thousand years old
Spent under the light of the star
Called Sun.
And a war for two thousand years—
A war without much reason
Wars are a thing for the young,
A medicine against wrinkles.
Red, red blood
After an hour, it’s just earth
After two, it grows flowers and grass
After three it’s alive once again
And is warmed by the light of the star
Named Sun.
And we know it was always this way,
That fate loves those the most
Who live by other rules
And who will die young.
He doesn’t remember the words “yes” and “no,”
He doesn’t remember ranks or names.
And he can reach the stars
Without thinking it is a dream
And fall, burned by the star
Named Sun…
Blood Type -- Gruppa Krovi -- Группа Крови
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFUUTE58nDQ&feature=relatedA warm place, but the streets wait
For our foot prints.
Star dust on the boots,
A soft armchair, a plaid blanket
A trigger pressed too late.
A sunny day in dreams too bright.
My blood type on my sleeve
My ID number on my sleeve,
Wish me luck in the fight, wish me
To not be left laying in this grass
To not be left laying in this grass
Wish me luck, wish me luck!
I have something to pay with, but I don’t want
To win with all I have
I don’t want to put my foot on anyone’s chest
I want to be with you,
Just to be with you,
But the star high in the sky calls me on my way.
My blood type on my sleeve,
My ID number on my sleeve,
Wish me luck in the fight, wish me
To not be left laying in this grass
To not be left laying in this grass,
Wish me luck, wish me luck!
Cuckoo -- Kukushka -- Кукушка
How many unwritten songs?
Tell me, cuckoo, sing to me.
Shall I live in the city or in the villages?
Lay like a rock or burn like a star?
A star.
My sun – look at me,
My palm turned into a fist,
And if there is gunpowder, give me fire.
And that’s that…
Who will travel the lonely path?
The strong and the brave
Bowed down their heads in the battlefield.
Not many are remembered lightly,
With a sober mind and a hard hand in the line,
In the line.
My sun – look at me,
My palm turned into a fist,
And if there is gunpowder, give me fire.
And that’s that…
Where are you now, freedom?
With whom are you now
Greeting the tender sunrise? Answer me.
It’s good with you, bad without you,
My head and patient shoulders under the whip,
The whip.
My sun – look at me,
My palm has turned into a fist,
And if there is gunpowder, give me fire.
And that’s that…
The Romantic’s Walk -- Progulka Romantika -- Прогулка Романтика
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytWCCHLObGEA storm behind the window, a storm
On the other side of the window,
The street lights burn and the shadows are strange.
I look into the night,
I see that the night is dark,
But this won’t prevent the walk of
The romantic
The romantic.
The spaces under gates are frightening,
I hear doors slamming shut.
Black cats cross my road.
Let them cross,
I don’t believe in those fables.
And this won’t prevent the walk of
The romantic,
The romantic.
It’s hard to walk,
I came out a long time ago,
And the evening with friends was so nice and fun.
I drank wine,
I do so love wine,
But this won’t prevent
The walk of the romantic.
I woke up in the subway
When the lights were being turned off,
I was woken by a man in in a red hat;
This is a ring
And there is no train back.
But this won’t prevent
The walk of the romantic.
Every Night -- Kazhduyu Noch' -- Каждую Ночь
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Gy19dZjYRo
It’s the third day the water’s dripping off the sky
So much water dripping down
They say it should be so, here,
They say it’s always been like this.
You know, every night
I dream of the sea.
You know, every night
I dream of a song,
You know, every night,
I dream of a shore,
You know, every night…
We come back to our homes
People walking from house to house,
We sit at the window together,
If you want, I’ll tell you…
You know, every night
I dream of the sea.
You know, every night
I dream of a song,
You know, every night,
I dream of a shore,
You know, every night…
