Morning After Rain

Strange, but the alarm is silent today.
Is it four in the night, or already five in the morning?
Traces of water remain on the glass,
Like a map of roads leading nowhere.
I open the window, letting the cold in,
This city has just washed off its makeup.
It seems honest, it is young again,
And together with it, we simply stay silent.

There is no more dust, no extra phrases.
Only the gray color and the scent of ozone.
The world has stopped right now,
Out of range, outside the law.

Припев
This is the morning when breathing becomes easier.
The asphalt is like a mirror, the sky lies at my feet.
I don't look for reasons, I don't look for a meeting,
I just take the first breath.
Let the drops fall from the wet roofs,
There is a secret in this rhythm.
You are also awake somewhere right now,
Meeting this damp dawn.

The umbrella in the corner, it is no longer needed,
It looks foolish, like yesterday's sadness.
I step over the puddles,
And I know all these streets by heart.
The first bus, an empty cabin,
The driver smokes, looking into the fog.
It looks like a strange dream,
Or a frame from an old drama.

Time has frozen, no footsteps are heard.
Only gleams of light on the wet wall.
I am free from thoughts, from dreams and shackles,
The truth is somewhere here, in the silence.

Припев
This is the morning when breathing becomes easier.
The asphalt is like a mirror, the sky lies at my feet.
I don't look for reasons, I don't look for a meeting,
I just take the first breath.
Let the drops fall from the wet roofs,
There is a secret in this rhythm.
You are also awake somewhere right now,
Meeting this damp dawn.


Why do we appreciate the sun only when there is a storm?
Why does silence sound louder than any words?
Everything that was "before" — washed away by water.
I am here. I am clean. I am alive.

Припев
This is the morning when breathing becomes easier.
The asphalt is like a mirror, the sky lies at my feet.
I don't look for reasons, I don't look for a meeting,
I just take the first breath.
Let the drops fall from the wet roofs,
There is a secret in this rhythm.
You are also awake somewhere right now,
Meeting this damp dawn.


Fresh...
Just breathe.
Morning after rain.
