Black eyes

People say that
We will die
On 21th December
Seems like it’s quite rightly
Oh! Finally determined
The day of death all over the world!

There is one schizophrenic idea
If someone is afraid to believe
And he can’t just relax

He can stop reading this
And any claims won’t be accepted!
--------------------------------------------------
When I was in hospital in the reanimation room
I was about 50 years old
I was in prostration
I’ll try to describe it

Nine nights
I was walking...

The child of the Volga region,
White, like a butterfly in the pitch black night
And fragrant, like an incense in the dungeon,
You stand alone in all your royal might.
Born by the land of the disgraceful strangers,
So cold and wild, and by the Heavens cursed,
Within the glades and mountain ranges,
You dwell on the summit of the Universe.
Your life is sad, but hopefully,
You are a luminary for this World, truly.

1 Couplet: (1 Куплет)
You lja me, beautiful, angel. (Ты для меня прекрасный ангел)
I love you so much, I am in love. (Я люблю тебя очень сильно, я влюблена)
You the fine, marvellous, wanderer. (Ты прекрасный, дивный странник)
But, for me it is not enough. (Но для меня этого не достаточно)

You the closest person for me. (Ты самый близкий человек для меня)
I am ready on all for the sake of you. (Я готова на всё ради тебя)
I want with you always beside to be. (Я хочу с тобой всегда рядом...

So, what shall I tell you, does anybody know?
How can I show you what is hidden deep below?

I can’t control this, it’s growing inside.
Questioning myself – why should I hide?

Feelings are complex, no way to get free,
But I’ll not kill them, I’ll let them just be.

Looking into your eyes, what am I waiting?
Do you understand me or am I mistaken?

This is forbidden, but it’s not a sin.
All of my life – where have you been?

Believe me I will love you when you grow old,
I’ll love you anyway, even you totally bold.
I’ll love you if you be weak and poor,
I simply love you for no reason, be sure.
Believe me, you’re the most handsome man,
Don’t repeat stupid word which you said.
Your eyes & your smile is like heaven,
I wish I could look at it ever & ever.
I will remember you for all of my life,
You gave me the reason to feel myself alive.

The armour glinted harshly dull
In beams of setting sun,
Its polished parts sat smartly on
To shield the solid One.

He stood there rock,
A metal spur
On stones of mighty wall,
Beyond of that came ever high
The flags of City Hall.

His squinted eyes were watching far,
His hand was grasping bow,
Cast arrows ramped for piercing flight
And sword –
For clashing blow.

Those craven foes…
They dared not to come to Warrier’s sight.
They shrank in holes
And damned cursed
With voices...

Behind the clouds of snow
beyond the bounds of imagination
you live there on your own
but I can get no more then sweet temptation

I draw your face,your eyes and smile
and try to make it clear
but from inside my heart go crazy for a while.
Till I'll hear a word from you
and feel as if its near.

Богами вам еще даны
Златые дни, златые ночи,
И томных дев устремлены
На вас внимательные очи.
Играйте, пойте, о друзья!
Утратьте вечер скоротечный;
И вашей радости беспечной
Сквозь слезы улыбнуся я.

.
TO MY FRIENDS

For you the gods but briefly will
Give golden days and golden nights,
With languor lovely maidens will
Will cast upon you watchful eyes.
So sing and gambol, friends, the while!
Spend every hour of fleet eve’s racing?
And at your carefree merrymaking
I’ll look...

Remember hours and minutes?
Remember happy a day?
Remember native “Pogranichnik”
Where we with you have met?

Remember camp and our arbour?
Remember lunar “Piatochok”?
Remember you my tender smile?
Remember you my shining eyes?

Do you remember the first touching?
And our close embraces too?
Remember me nice-looking girl?
Remember that a lovely moment?

You not remember? You Forgot?
Forgot your promises
Where is that moment, where?
You shouted or didn’t say a word?

It may...
