Love Comes Like the Dawn

   
Based on the poem
« Любовь приходит как рассвет»
I have made a translation.
       *****
Love comes like the dawn, a tender light,
But at first you cannot read its sign, quite right.
It stays silent, giving no explanation,
Playing with its own deep sensation.

You seek a sign? It lies within, inside,
Both of you are burning, in a dream so wide —
Like a candle, love won’t die in gales,
It cannot be blown out — through heat it prevails.

Walk your path through trials, through the pain,
You’ve become new; it’s different now, again.
One single candle fate in night does burn,
One shared breath, hot glances — they return.

One look reconnects you once again,
You’ve become a whole — that’s love’s refrain.
You are righteous when it dwells in hearts,
Lips to lips — and happiness imparts.

Born to know life in its full delight,
In love — immortality, the world’s pure light!
