With

raining
everyone's looking down
except that child with no unbrella

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...

Have I ever felt that weak as I take a look at child?
Feeling tenderness and love, filling up my heart and mind
Have I left my soul in baby that would not allow forget her?
Though it’s been a year now since I left her…since I left her…

Want to kiss her hands, her fingers and embrace her very tender
Want to be her dad, her friend, any kind of surrender
Realize my guilt and blame all the steps I made like blind
Pray that God will not apart me with my one and only child…

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...

Красавица луна
В ладье серебряного света
Плывет ко мне.
Струится с неба песни нежность.
За горизонт в неведомые земли
Птицы улетают,
И вместе с ними все мои надежды…
Так вечер жизни незаметно наступает.

SAILING THE BOAT OF SILVER LIGHT

Sailing the boat of silver light,
The moon-beauty is fast approaching me.
The sky is vibrating with sweet and melodious songs.
The birds are flying beyond the horizon
To an unknown land.
All my hopes are flying without any destination...

I've paid my dues -
Time after time -
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime -
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face -
But I've come through

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions -
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world -

I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls -
You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it...

Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song
And make it better
Remember, to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
Hey Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute You let her under your skin
Then you begin
To make it better
And anytime you feel the pain
Hey Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
For well you know that it's a fool
Who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
Hey Jude, don't let me down
You...

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...

The tender silence of your alleys,
Alluring splashing from the sea -
It's only you who touch my feelings,
And only you I long to see.

With you I've never been alone,
Cause you're just so unique -
The only place for my soul
To be born, to love and to live.

Please, don’t leave me alone
Please, don’t make me cry
I want to be with you
I don’t want to love die

I never forget this wonderful night
Where just you and me
Where cool moon’s light
Please, tell me you will be my
Please, tell me you never go away
I wish night will be stay

But morning close and close
And love like withering rose
And this is true. Please don’t cry
Cause I don’t want to tell you lie
I scream I love you!
But love already died.
