There is just a moment - Есть только миг

There's just a moment - Есть только миг

All's illusion, here in such a turbulent world,
(There's) just a moment, and you must grasp it tight.
Between the past, and future as it's unfurled,
Precisely this is what is known as life.

Eternal peace won't likely please the soul,
It's only meant for grey stone memorials.
And for the star that breaks and downward falls,
There’s just a flash, a blinding flash.
And for the star that breaks and downward falls,
There’s just a flash, a blinding flash.

Let this world fly on through the centuries,
But we won’t be always here together
What do I risk, what in this world do I cherish?
Only one flash, just one flash forever.

Happiness comes, and sometimes there'll be sadness too,
(There's) just a moment and you must grasp it tight.
There's just a flash, between the past and the future,
Precisely this is what is known as life.
There’s just a flash, between the past and the future,
Precisely this is what is known as life.
