A WINTER MORNING

Sunshine and frost. The day is charming.
And you are still asleep, my darling.
Wake up, my beautiful. You are
To cease your sleepy eyes confining
Your sight, and with Aurora's shining
You'll be another northern star.
 
Remember yester blizzard's whirring,
Up in the sky the haze was stirring,
The moon just like a faded stain
In gloomy clouds was shining badly,
As you were sitting here so sadly.
And now... Please, take a look again:
 
You'll see beneath the heaven's brightness
The winter carpet’s gentle whiteness –
Today the shining snow is back.
You'll see the pines in green and silver,
And gleaming ice upon the river,
And tiny forest all in black.
 
The room is kind of amber-sparkling
And something in the oven's crackling –
The sound of burnin' logs, of course.
Right here the feeling's getting fervent
But how about we tell the servant
To harness up a sorrel horse?
 
Enjoy this morning snow and weather!
My dearest friend, let's come together.
Impatient horse will ride away...
Among the trees the path to follow,
Across the fields, unfilled and hollow,
Towards my lovely river bay.

HERE IS ALL

Faded leaves of the window, right now
They're all covered with sparkles of dew.
There's no bottom nor death anyhow.
I am parting with you.
We'll deliver a handful of warmth
After cold. A few minutes till dawn
To survive, and the oceans of faults –
To the hollows of time they'll be gone.
 
Here is all of my everything to leave behind.
Here is all to be taken with me.
 
There's our past at the table to share
Got a flame of a candle to shine.
It reminds me how precious you were.
Look at me, break the silence of mine.
All the screams of the gulls on the wall
Have been ringed by the black of the moon
Draw some art on the glass after all,
Be a river to whisper me soon.
 
Here is all of my everything to leave behind.
Here is all to be taken with me.
 
Our two dreams and the glass full of woe,
That we drаnk, when we rose from our graves.
Why am I given to you? I don't know.
Now the roads of the moon lead my ways.
Please, don't cry. Can you try to forgive?
Life's not candy and death's not a pie.
I got my own roadway to live.
See you later, my friend, and goodbye.
 
Here is all of my everything to leave behind.
Here is all to be taken with me.
 
Here is all

KATYUSHA


When the trees were covered all with flowers,
Mists came down, the sky was gray and blank.
Young Katyusha spent the early hours
On the high and rocky riverbank.
 
There she sang so tenderly and neatly,
Sang the song about the bird of prey,
'bout the fellow whom she loved so sweetly
And whose letters weren't thrown away.
 
Hey, you song, don't stay there any longer,
Fly behind the flock of little birds
To the soldier at the farthest border,
From Katyusha bring her tender words.
 
Make him think of Katya from the village,
Make him hear her voice from high above,
Let him save our country from the villains,
Let Katyusha wait and keep her love.
 
When the trees were covered all with flowers,
Mists came down, the sky was gray and blank.
Young Katyusha spent the early hours
On the high and rocky riverbank.

LULLABY

All the weary toys are sleeping, books are too.
All your blankets and your pillows long for you.
And the fairytales are falling,
Right into your dreams they're crawling,
Turning off the light. Bye! Good night!
 
Fairytales will simply take you to the moon.
You can ride along the rainbow pretty soon.
Play with elephants together,
Catch the golden Phoenix feather.
You can do it, right? Bye! Good night!
 
That's for sure – around the house, right at these hours,
Hear it rustling like a mouse – the dream of ours.
Darkness fell outside the window –
In the morning there'll be wisdom,
When the sun is bright. Bye! Good night!
 
Nights are made for all of us to sleep away.
Hush my baby, there will be another day.
Daily problems made you weary.
Sweetest dreams to you, my dearie.
Are you sleeping tight? Bye! Good night!

A PACK OF CIGARETTES

I'm in here, gazing outta foreign window at the alien sky,
Looking for familiar stars, but there's nothing to find.
I've been walking all the roads back and forth, day and night,
I turned around and couldn't see any trails behind.
 
But if you got another pack of cigarettes
This implies that everything is not so bad for today.
There's a ticket for a flight on the silver-winged plane,
Taking off with only shadow on earth to stay.
 
There was nobody here to be at fault without the wine.
There was nobody here to rake the heat with a hand.
No one can without the music make it easier to die,
No one wants to go without the music to the end.
 
But if you got another pack of cigarettes
This implies that everything is not so bad for today.
There's a ticket for a flight on the silver-winged plane,
Taking off with only shadow on earth to stay.

THE POLAR BEAR SONG


Somewhere against the axis of our spinning world
Bears are rubbing asses, suffering from the cold.
Oceans are filled with glaciers, day hurries after day,
Bears keep on rubbing asses, spin the Earth this way
 
CHORUS:
Laaaa la-la-la-laaa la-laaa
And the Earth goes fast this way
Laaaa la-la-la-laaa la-laaa
And the Earth goes fast this way
 
Bears rub their asses strictly, diligently and strong,
So all the lovers quickly meet and come along.
Maybe a little earlier, right with the morning birds,
Someone will tell the lover those three magic words.
 
Chorus
 
Spring comes with early showers, then comes an earlier dawn.
After the happy hours happiness goes on.
There will be flashing lightnings, streams will be ringing there.
There'll be a fog in whiteness, like a polar bear.
 
And the Earth goes fast this way.
And the Earth goes fast this way.
 
Somewhere against the axis of our spinning world
Bears are rubbing asses, suffering from the cold.
Oceans are filled with glaciers, day hurries after day,
Bears keep on rubbing asses, spin the Earth this way.
 
Chorus
 
And the Earth goes fast this way.
And the Earth goes fast this way.

VELVET PLAID

The velvet plaid was all I needed
To watch the dream I had last night.
What's it been like? Who's been defeated?
Who won the fight? Who won the fight?
There're everything I'm thinking over
And the resuffering thereof.
But something, I can't find the word for,
But something, I can't find the word for,
Must have been love.

Who was the prey? Who was the hunter?
Hell, it's the other way around.
What's clear to the Siberian cat then?
I hear his sound, his purring sound.
And in that duel of self-willed people
The one with only ball in hands,
Whose loving heart flew like a seagull,
Whose loving heart flew like a seagull
To foreign lands.
 
What's it been like till it's completed?
What do I want and stiil regret?
Who won the fight? Who's been defeated?
Who won the fight? Who's been defeated?
I don't know yet. I don't know yet.

THERE IN THE WOODS A FIR WAS BORN

There in the woods a Fir was born.
She also grew up there.
In any season She was slim
And evergreen, I swear.
 
The blizzard used to sing a song:
"My little Fir, good night!"
The frost kept hugging Her with snow
To make Her feel alright.
 
Sometimes a timid bunny-boy
Runned out there jumping high,
Sometimes a wolf, an angry wolf,
Directly trotted by.
 
The snow is crunching in the woods –
No doubt, it's just a sleigh.
A little horse with shaggy legs
Is running far away.
 
The horse is carrying a sleigh.
The man, who's on the route,
Cut down our little Fir today,
Cut at the very root.
 
And there She came, so elegant.
A Christmas tree we've got.
A lot, a lot of happiness
To all the kids She brought!

WALK ON THE WAVES

One time the Apostle just fished from the pier,
And the Savior walked on the waves.
The Apostle fished minnows out of the sea
Watching Christ fish the dead from their graves.
And he said: Oh, my Dear, I will go from the pier
If you tell me the secret right now,
And the Saviour answered: "Сalm down, look here,
I don't have any secret to show.

Look, on that distant hill with a cross rising up,
Ten soldiers are standing still – hang yourself for a while.
And the time you get bored you'll come back to the sea
To walk on the waves,
To walk on the waves,
To walk on the waves with me."
 
But, my Teacher, the horns on the helmets are bright,
And the ravens still fly in the sky.
Please don't torture the fool, tell your secret tonight,
Save your terrible cross for next time.
Then got numb the Saviour and stomped on the sea
With giant splashes of foam,
Said: "You're stupid indeed". And the fool in tears
Just went with his minnows back home.

Look, on that distant hill with a cross rising up,
Ten soldiers are standing still – hang yourself for a while.
And the time you get bored you'll come back to the sea
To walk on the waves,
To walk on the waves,
To walk on the waves with me.

Look, on that distant hill with a cross rising up,
Ten soldiers are standing still – hang yourself for a while.
And the time you get bored you'll come back to the sea
To walk on the waves,
To walk on the waves,
To walk on the waves with me.
