DUST

Английская адаптация моей песни "Пыль" (Олди (Max G Project) - "Пыль")

[Verse 1]
I close my eyes — just for a moment, and the world will fade,
All of my dreams have rushed away, erasing memories they made
Though I still see them in the distance, but their light is dying slow
Dissolving in the darkness, like embers' fading glow

I tried to catch them, but I cannot hold them in my hands,
Like morning dreams between the waking, stellar distant lands,
Everything I loved, everything I treasured long ago,
I cannot bring it back, it's leaving and I know


[Chorus]
Dust in the wind,
All that we are, is only dust in the wind,
Can't escape our fate, In the eternal circle of time
We are dust in the wind.
We'll dissolve like a dream.

[Verse 2]
And this song is just a single drop in the eternal boundless sea,
Everything we create will decay, erased from eternity,
We build our castles made of happiness from sand upon the shore,
But waves of time will wash away everything I'm holding for.

Though we don't want to believe that life is not forever,
That all we create will disappear from others' minds, never
We cling to eternity that will never belong to us,
But the sea of time is merciless and feeds it to the waves thus.


[Chorus]
Dust in the wind,
All that we are, is only dust in the wind,
Can't escape our fate, In the eternal circle of time
We are dust in the wind.
We'll dissolve like a dream.


[Verse 3]
Don't hold on to everything — here only earth and sky are eternal,
Everything goes away, everything will be forgotten like a fable,
Money cannot buy the time that has already flown,
Won't bring back those days that the wind has blown.

All our lives we gather gold, believing it will save us all,
But death won't bargain — the bony one, she'll take her toll,
And all the wealth on earth cannot buy us a single moment's breath,
When our hour comes — that hour...of our final death.


[Chorus]
Dust in the wind,
All that we are, is only dust in the wind,
Can't escape our fate, In the eternal circle of time
We are dust in the wind.
We'll dissolve like a dream.


[Outro]
All that we are, is only dust in the wind
Dust in the wind,
All that we are — dust in the wind
We're here — we are dust in the wind.

All that we are, is only dust in the wind
Dust in the wind,
All that we are — dust in the wind
We're here — we are dust in the wind.

A few words about these lyrics (this song)

When Kansas released "Dust in the Wind" in 1977, they didn't just create a song—they articulated the eternal question of human existence. "All we are is dust in the wind"—this line became the philosophical manifesto of an entire generation.

Almost 50 years later, I decided to continue this conversation, but in my own language—the language of modern hip-hop, blues, and jazz. My track "Dust" is not an attempt to remake a masterpiece, but rather a respectful dialogue with it across the decades.

The song was written as part of the "Max G Project"— Oldie (Max G Project) - "Dust".
