Words

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...

What Do You Do When Something Dies
A Life Together Has Ended, Your Living a Lie
When Did this Act Become Reality ?
Hello Conscience, Do I Laugh or Do I Cry
Nothing's Ever Perfect
This Is Just a Test
Imagine, Imagine Saying What Can Be Said
Imagine, Imagine Each Word a Bullet 'Til You're Dead
Imagine, Imagine Killing Something Your Love
Imagine, Just Think about Living Inside
Blood on Your Hands, Blood in My Eyes
Blood I Can't Keep, Blood Circumscribes
Blood on Your Hands, Blood in My...

Для редактора,
озабоченного передовицей,
он никто, какой-то Джон Мильтон,
затерявшийся на литературной обочине.

Актриса глицериновую слезу
из-за него не проливала ни разу.

О нем хранит молчание
радио и телевещание.

Нет ни досье, ни файлов секретных.
Нет псевдонимов народу известных.

Никому не интересно
узнать его настоящее имя.

Жив ли он, мертв ли он,
не проверяет никто.

Возможно в чулане
детективы найдут его труп
с разбитым лицом,
с открытыми глазами...

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.

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.

Я памятник себе воздвиг нерукотворный,
К нему не зарастет народная тропа,
Вознесся выше он главою непокорной
___Александрийского столпа.

Нет, весь я не умру — душа в заветной лире
Мой прах переживет и тленья убежит —
И славен буду я, доколь в подлунном мире
___Жив будет хоть один пиит.

Слух обо мне пойдет по всей Руси великой,
И назовет меня всяк сущий в ней язык,
И гордый внук славян, и финн, и ныне дикой
___Тунгус, и друг степей калмык.

И долго буду тем любезен я народу,
Что...

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...

If one day you'd backed up a promise you made
We'd have to make it a holiday
'Cause we both know that day would never come again
If one day your word was as good as gold
It'd be too late cause I'd be too old
I don't think a human being could live that long

I never gave a damn
I was never even a fan
The only thing that makes me smile if your pain
I don't even care
When did you treat anyone fair?
To say I'm not enjoying this would be insane

Sodium Pentathol was an idea I had
But...

Был чудак знаменитый, потому что забыты
Были им при подъеме на борт
Весь багаж: зонтик, шляпа - что осталась у трапа –
Все, с чем думал он плыть на курорт.

Был багаж подходящий: пятьдесят один ящик
И на каждом написано – чей -
Его полное имя, но забыв его с ними,
Он отплыл на курорт без вещей.

Он забыл весь багаж и им потеряны даже
Были туфли, пиджак и белье.
Но ужасной пропажей было то, что с поклажей
Он забыл так же имя свое.

Начал он откликаться на «Парнишку» и «Братца»,
На...

Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Come back and bring back my smile
Come and take these tears away
I need your arms to hold me now
The nights are so unkind
Bring back those nights when I held you beside me

Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked outta my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many nights
Un-break my heart
My heart

Take back that sad word good-bye
Bring back the joy...
