But

The sunset blazes ‘pon the vault,
This afternoon dies slowly forever,
The world is overfilled with weariness and fatigue,
Another episode of this life’s masquerade
Comes to an end…
The curtain falls…
And beauteous Agnes Adoma,
The prima donna of the opera house,
A-shining in the luster of her fame,
Leaves her beloved stage to the ovation
Of the spectators.
Her eyes! Her gorgeous green eyes!
They shine, like emeralds in the midday fire of heaven!
Her skin is white, like a snow of the...

С самого дна, из мертвого сна
там, где демоны ада хватали меня
Вернулся на старт, вернулся к себе
Вернулся к тебе вдвоем мечтать о звезде!
О, вернулся к тебе вдвоем мечтать о звезде!

Забери мой дом и модный телефон
забери всю святую траву, что таится в углу
забери часы, и всю одежду на мне
забери все, оставь лишь надежду
да кожу и кости для судных дней!

Мне не нужен контроль, и кляну я судьбу
сам заправлю постель и полежу там в бреду
мне не нужно тепло, я горел так в аду
Но...

Now you're going slightly nuts
With all your plastic desires
With all your trivial dreams
You want nothing but to fire
All of them full of beans
When the world becomes a little bit concrete
And all those clowns displease
You will find me out on Main-street
Dancing with the holy trees
Weary of not doing
The things you want to do
Tired of pursuing
Things you never wanted to
Of ail! your plastic desires
Of alt your trivial dreams
You want nothing but to fire
All of them full of...

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?

This is like a dangerous trip.
Every day she faces unexpected,
Like unknown video clip
She’s playing a role unsuspected.
This is a story of love & pain
‘Cause these two never come apart.
The main hero hopes to sustain,
To play perfectly “team member” part.
What happens when curtains are down?
Have you seen the actress alive?
She releases the truth underground
So tomorrow she can dance on the knife.
She’s playing a role with no errors,
But no one can guess it’s a play.
Just as...

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.

Flood-tide below me! I see you face to face!
Clouds of the west – sun there half of hour high –
I see you also face to face.

Crowds of men and women attired in the usual costumes, how curious you are to me!
On the ferry-boats the hundreds and hundreds that cross , returning home,, are more curious to me than you suppose,
And you that shell cross from shore to shore years hence are more to me, and more in my meditations, that you might suppose.

The impalpable sustenance of me from...

I have been temperate always,
But I am like to be very drunk
With your coming.
There have been times
I feared to walk dawn he street
Lest I should reel with the wine of you,
And jerk against my neighbors
As they go by.
I am parched now, and my tongue is horrible in my mouth,
But my brain id noisy
With the clash and gurgle of filling wine-cups.

Предчувствие


Умеренность – давний мой стиль,
Но снова – едва ты приходишь
Пьянею – и нет моих сил –
В соблазн...

Моря Покоя, Радости и Света —
За гранью тех миров, что я постиг.
Ночь бурная рыданиями ветра
Во мне рождает свой мятежный лик.

Беспомощный, взываю я напрасно…
Черства, глуха к моим мольбам земля.
Кто боль мою разделит в духе властном? —
Лишь жала смерти всюду вижу я.

В морях Времен я — утлый плот забытый.
Прочь смыты весла в волны многих бед.
Найду ли край, так безнадежно скрытый,
Где мрака нет и вечен Бога Свет?

Но вот я Флейту золотую слышу,
И дивный звук летит со всех...

Dashing through the snow
On a one-horse open sleigh,
Over the fields we go,
Laughing all the way;
Bells on bob-tail ring,
making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight, O
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh (repeat)

A day or two ago,
I thought I'd take a ride,
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side;
The horse was lean and lank;
Misfortune seemed his lot;
He got into a...
