How many those who fell into this abyss*

How many those who fell into this abyss
That opened ahead
A day will come when I also disappear
From the surface of the Earth
 
And everything that used to sind and fight, to shine and forge ahead
Will be frozen up
Together with the my green eyes, my tender voice,
And my golden hair
 
And the life with its daily bread and oblivion
It will go on
And everything will go on
Just like there was no me
 
So volatile, like children,
And so quick-witted,
Who used to love the time when the woods on fire
Were turning into ashes
 
Who used to love the chello, and noises of the forests,
And bell-ring in the village...
- Just like there was no me, so vivid and real
On the caring Earth
 
- To all of you, - who either distant or close to me,
As I never knew the limits -
I tell you to believe me
And ask you to love me
 
Love me at day and at night, in writing and by word of mouth,
For my truth and my lies
For my sorrow
And for my being only 20 years old
 
For my inability to resist
To forgive everything
For my rampant tenderness
And condescending look
 
For my impetuous decisions,
For honesty, for games...
- And, listen! - Also love me
For I will die.
 

War

Versions: #3
'War' is a word of the feminine gender
But they are males who go to the war
And death is also of a broad's kinship
But wedding her is but pain in the ass
But she did betroth with a lead ring
And like a hostess trimmed with dirt
And a wound kept bleeding
Masculine bodies until white
 
And you, do keep in memory
All the perished soldiers by their names
Because we used to know
Many of these guys...
And you could have found
Yourself in his place
If he hadn't left to defend you
Without sparing himself
 
The asshole of a bullet cooled off in the soul
This spot will be covered up with a medal
And memory wailed like a wench
Scaring off pain and sorrow like a bird
Like a female, the fate cheated on
Males, fathers and youngsters
War, what have you done?
You're a faceless mistress!
 
And you, do keep in memory
All the perished soldiers by their names
Because we used to know
Many of these guys...
And you could have found
Yourself in his place
If he hadn't left to defend you
Without sparing himself
 
How come that
Cruelty, death and war
Knock now at the doors, now at the windows
Who gave them feminine names?
Why are troubles of the feminine gender?
But the sorrowing mother believes
That the feminine word Victory
Will never let men die!
 
And you, do keep in memory
All the perished soldiers by their names
Because we used to know
Many of these guys...
And you could have found
Yourself in his place
If he hadn't left to defend you
Without sparing himself
 

Holy Lie

Holy lie, even though you are holy
I'm sick of your kindness
I don't believe you!
 
Why are you coming to my house?
Why do you sit like a guest in the chair?
I don't believe you!
 
Why do you protect me from harm,
And I nod my head in return?
You make pain twice as painful
But the truth has long been known to me
 
You bitterly said: 'don't be shy!'
And I became stronger still from these words
And since I don't need lies to help me,
Don't lie, don't lie!
 
Holy lie, even though you are holy
I hate your kindness
I don't believe you!
 
For the fact that you climbed into my soul
For the fact that you are quite happy
I don't believe you!
 
But I tolerate - I don't chase out guests
And I suppress an involuntary groan
And my friends don't know what's wrong
And this is my bitter truth
 
You bitterly said: 'don't be shy!'
And I became stronger still from these words
And since I don't need lies to help me,
Don't lie, don't lie!
 
Holy lie, even though you are holy
Your kindness lets evil rise
I don't believe you!
 
But this means, your kindness is scary!
Of course, lie, of course, I'm guilty
Of course.
 
That I still tolerated you
That I never argued with you
Well, that's it! I'll be different now!
You see, the bitter truth is with me!
 
Holy lie, even though you are holy
I'm sick of your kindness
I don't believe you!
I don't believe, don't believe...
Don't believe...
 

Harlequino

I'm rushing into the light of the arena, and then
(Oh, Harlequino, Harle-)
A little harlequin is showing his paces
(Oh, Harlequino, Harle-)
The audience isn't laughing and they don't know me
(Oh, Harlequino, Harle-)
Because my mask shows no face
 
My name is simply Harlequin
And they never see me, they only see him
Me, a small dot in the big top
Now I'm standing there and this is my world
 
Oh, Harlequino, Harlequino
The one thing that belongs to you alone
Harlequino, Harlequino
Is the laughter that awards you
 
The jugglers on their horses are the main attraction
(Oh, Harlequino, Harle-)
And all people are cheering them
(Oh, Harlequino, Harle-)
There's an elephant that can walk on two legs
(Oh, Harlequino, Harle-)
The girls on the tightrope are very beautiful
 
The magician is bewitching cats and mice
They are all receiving flowers and applause
A drum roll when the acrobats are doing a a somersault
My performance is intended for the interval
 
Oh, Harlequino, Harlequino
The one thing that belongs to you alone
Harlequino, Harlequino
Is the laughter that awards you
 
Life makes our hearts more open and softer
(Oh, Harlequino, Harle-)
I've never got there my way
(Oh, Harlequino, Harle-)
I've never felt close to being a chooser
(Oh, Harlequino, Harle-)
Who is playing his role for himself
 
I am fooling around for all those
Whom I am seeing through my mask
And even if I leave the circus one day
I guess that I've never been a bad harlequin
 
Oh, Harlequino, Harlequino
The one thing that belongs to you alone
Harlequino, Harlequino
Is the laughter that awards you
 

There're plenty of wise ones around

There're plenty of wise ones around,
They're all giving me advice -
One day I will probably
Die of that after all.
Curse them or not,
These clever ones won't leave you in peace,
They're the only ones who know
How I should live
And what I should do in this life.
 
Refrain:
I have, I'm telling you,
My own head on shoulders,
And I can decide without you
How I should live in this world.
I have, I'm telling you,
My own head on shoulders,
And I can decide without you
How I should live in this world.
 
They won't tell you why
The celestial distance is so blue,
But they definitely know
Who someone will choose to love.
They know beforehand
Where you'll find your happiness,
But I'll behave in a different way
To spite them.
 
Refrain
 
There're plenty of wise ones around,
They're all giving me advice -
One day I will probably
Die of that after all.
This has always been the case,
I keep telling you again and again,
This kind of wisdom
Is a need only for those who were born brainless.
 
Refrain

I'll manage

I'll manage, believe me, my dear,
I'll give much more than you've given.
I haven't changed at all.
And I'm so naive in love, as always.
I'll manage, I'll manage to be happy,
As always, sorrow isn't a problem,
I haven't changed at all,
Yes-yes-yes, yes, yes.
 
Refrain:
I'll manage to make autumn and spring longer
I'll swing the door open.
If I throw somebody over the perch,
Then it'll be no one but me.
I love and this means that I live,
I live and this means that I sing,
Like a prophetic bird that lives in paradise on its own.
 
I belive, there will come a day- I'll have food,
And the rowan berries on the snow
Are sweeter than those almost forgotten charries
From that garden, from that old little garden
There will be everything as we've wished,
There will be everything, love in your eyes,
There will be everything, and you know this,
Yes-yes-yes, yes,yes.
 
Refrain:
I'll manage to make autumn and spring longer
I'll swing the door open.
If I throw somebody over the perch,
Then it'll be no one but me.
I love and this means that I live,
I live and this means that I sing,
Like a prophetic bird that lives in paradise on its own.
 
I'll manage to make autumn and spring longer
I'll swing the door open.
If I throw somebody over the perch,
Then it'll be no one but me.
I love and this means that I live,
I live and this means that I sing,
Like a prophetic bird that lives in paradise on its own.

Towards Tikhoretskaya

The train will depart towards Tikhoretskaya.1
The carriage will start and the platform will stay.
A brick wall. A station clock.
White kerchiefs, white kerchiefs,
White kerchiefs.
White kerchiefs. Sad eyes.
 
The smoking compartment will start eliciting2
About my past and present.
I'll tell them a pack of lies.3 Let them wonder.
Whom I bid farewell to,
Whom I bid farewell to,
Whom I bid farewell to.
Whom I bid farewell to
Is none of your business.
 
A sailor wearing a striped sweatshirt will open his soul
About how hard it is for poor him to live in the world .4
He will get off at the station and bid farewell.
The carriage will start, the carriage will start,
The carriage will start.
The carriage will start and he will stay.
 
The train will depart towards Tikhoretskaya.

White kerchiefs, white kerchiefs,
White kerchiefs.
White kerchiefs. Sad eyes.
 

• 1. A railway station name. It literally means Calm River
• 2. Serious discussions between people travelling in the same compartment were common in Russia at that time.
• 3. Literally 'three huge boxes of lies'
• 4. A thin long-sleeved sweatshirt with white and blue stripes is a piece of uniform for sailors, marines and special forces. It's called 'teln'ashka'.
  'to open one's soul' means 'to tell everything about your feelings or sufferings to another person'.
  To be a sailor was really hard. Young men were drafted at the age of 18 to serve for three years under severe conditions.

Balalaika

The moonlight was flickering in the black sky
The girl I was wanted to know everything
You used to walk me home
After the school orchestra rehearsal
 
That evening is now so near and far
But that girl and that boy
From the school orchestra are
Always with me, everywhere
 
Plim-plim-plim-plim
You don't make me feel jealous
Plim-plim-plim-plim
No offence taken
Plim-plim-plim-plim
We'll never ...
Plim-plim-plim-plim
...go back there
Plim-plim-plim-plim
Call me if you love me
Plim-plim-plim-plim
We'll talk!
 
I'll pick up my balalaika
And play queitly 'The Moon Is Shining'
And I will balalaika my love
To you and you alone
 
A tiny flame lit up in the sky
And brought back to life the long gone love
Between that girl and that boy
From the school orchestra
 
Plim-plim-plim-plim
You don't make me feel jealous
Plim-plim-plim-plim
No offence taken
Plim-plim-plim-plim
We'll never ...
Plim-plim-plim-plim
...go back there
Plim-plim-plim-plim
Call me if you can
Plim-plim-plim-plim
We'll talk!
 
Balalaika, here you go again
I am no longer the master of my heart
We should never really be reminded of the past
Oh, balalaika, what fools we, women, are
 
As soon as I strum the three strings
That girl and that boy
from the school orchestra
will come out of nowhere
 
Plim-plim-plim-plim
You don't make me feel jealous
Plim-plim-plim-plim
No offence taken
Plim-plim-plim-plim
We'll never ...
Plim-plim-plim-plim
...go back there
Plim-plim-plim-plim
Call me if you can
Plim-plim-plim-plim
We'll talk!
 

Take me with you

In the forest quiet down in the evening
Multi sounds flocks of birds.
Mother baby crane kissing
He falls asleep with mother's words.
 
He looks at mum with tenderness
And shaking his head to the side,
I would like to see the sky
Blue, blue,
I would like to see the sky,
Take me with you, let's fly.
 
A stray wind had flown in
On a green sails,
He sung to the ship pines,
About the tides, storms and hails.
 
And unwise baby crane
Again his head goes side to side,
I would like to see the sea
Blue, blue, like the sky,
I would like to see the sea,
Take me with you, let's fly.
 
Again my beloved flies away
Over the winds and over the seas.
He will see, he will find out
How the dawn is born.
 
In the moment when we part
I will tell him:' Dear,
I would like to see the earth with you
Blue, blue,
I would like to see the earth with you,
Take me with you there.
 

Without Me

Versions: #1#2
I know,my cute, I know what is going with you-
You have been losted yourself,you have been lostted
You have been left your homeland shore,
And to another,you have not reached.
 
Without me, my love,
The earth is very small,like an Island.
Without me, my love,
It's like to fly with one wing!
Look after yourself,my love.
It's not so simple! to wish.
Find yourself, my love.
And we will singing,still!
 
How many times i have been saved you
I Can not! anymore I can not!
But with Hope It can be or not,
I will wait to you on that shore.

If you suffer for a long time

Fate cannot grant us the best lot immediately,
Success is a matter of chance, for which one must wait.
Happiness must come to us with a heavy price.
Otherwise, it won't bring us joy.
 
If you suffer for a long time,
Then something will work out!
 
Now that I've memorized this simple truth by heart,
I'll endure and withstand everything, until I achieve it and my wait is over!
But no matter what you say, I know just one thing:
Good fortune will come to me in any case.
 
If you suffer for a long time,
Then something will work out!
 
Life is rightly arranged, and in general, it's no trouble,
That everything in the world costs us patience and labour.
Happiness comes to people with a heavy price, but,
Otherwise it wouldn't be happiness.
 
If you suffer for a long time,
Then something will work out!
 

Very good

Love came to us unexpectedly,
Just like the tune of a song.
Just like a miracle, like a secret,
Changing everything around us.
 
Maybe it happened, and maybe it didn't,
But we can't bear to be apart.
And what a sky we have around us,
With both stars and thunder.
 
Ah, if...
The sun is in the sky - then it's very, very good!
Snow is falling - then it's very, very good!
Even under heavy rain, even under hail,
As long as you are next to me,
Then it's very, very good!
 
Even under heavy rain, even under hail,
As long as you are next to me,
Then it's very, very good!
 
And whenever I go away, and you aren't with me,
On the long hard road, I hum and hum
The chorus of this little song,
Of this little cherished song.1
 
Ah, if...
The sun is in the sky - then it's very, very good!
Snow is falling - then it's very, very good!
Even under heavy rain, even under hail,
As long as you are next to me,
Then it's very, very good!
 
Even under heavy rain, even under hail,
As long as you are next to me,
Then it's very, very good!
 
Even under heavy rain, even under hail,
As long as you are next to me,
Then it's very, very good!

Clear, Bright Eyes

I love to gaze into your clear eyes,
Why are they now hiding a secret?
Have our finest days passed us by?
Will that May of ours ever return?
 
These clear, bright eyes.
I see them in the radiance of the day,
Don't reproach me,
Wherever there's joy, there must also be tears.
These clear, bright eyes.
I see them in the radiance of the day,
Don't reproach me,
Wherever there's joy, there must also be tears.
 
Call my name in a quiet voice,
Perhaps your tenderness has left me for another.
Spin us around again, song of youth,
Even though our May has passed like white smoke.
 
These clear, bright eyes.
I see them in the radiance of the day,
Don't reproach me,
Wherever there's joy, there must also be tears.
These clear, bright eyes.
I see them in the radiance of the day,
Don't reproach me,
Wherever there's joy, there must also be tears.
 
Keep in mind that I love you, just like the first day we met.
It seems that I will not figure out your secret.
And it has cast a shadow in the midst of our love.
Will that May of ours ever return?
 
These clear, bright eyes.
I see them in the radiance of the day,
Don't reproach me,
Wherever there's joy, there must also be tears.
These clear, bright eyes.
I see them in the radiance of the day,
Don't reproach me,
Wherever there's joy, there must also be tears.
 

In passing

I don't want those petty scenes
And I don't want idiotic insults,
After your constant cheating
And already there is no pain in my heart.
However, I can't forgive myself one thing-
I've promised you, that furthermore
In the house I'll never let you in,
But opening cursed door.
 
In passing,
You've hurt me in passing
And became cool, and its not clear why,
And yourself alone you adore!
In passing,
You've hurt me in passing ...
Well, it's okay with me, but tell me, what for
You turn turn yourself into nothing?
In passing...
 
I've trusted you with my dreams.
And I've waited till morning by the window
Apparently, you don't need the dreams,
Well, and me you don't really need.
Hundreds of admirers giving me flowers
And making a hint for a personal life
And saying:' *Allochka! You are a star!
Well, give him up, give him up!'...
 
In passing,
You've hurt me in passing
And became cool, and its not clear why,
And yourself alone you adore!
In passing,
You've hurt me in passing ...
Well, it's okay with me, but tell me, what for
You turn yourself into nothing?
In passing...
In passing,
You've hurt me in passing
 

I will enter the water

They say love is a quick river,
If you don't know how to swim, don't risk,
Do not jump into the water, not knowing the passing.
The quick river is too deep,
It causes you to stumble, -
He drags your head into the water,
He drags into the water . . .
 
And I will enter the water!
And I will enter the water!
And I will enter the water!
I will heal my soul with love
And I will enter the water!
 
They say love is a stormy ocean,
If you don't know how to swim, don't risk,
Do not jump into the water in such weather.
I only know that you are my captain,
And I'm not scared to swim with you
In any time of year,
In any type of weather . . .
 
And I will enter the water!
And I will enter the water!,
And I will enter the water!
I will heal my soul with love
And I will enter the water!
 

Turnpike

On that turnpike, on intersection,
There is no need for me to hurry anymore
It's maybe, simple, to live without love,
But how in the world without love to live.
It's maybe, simple, to live without love,
But how in the world without love to live.
 
I do not need, I didn't have to,
To rush so brave, to meet my love
I would never fall in love,
But how, tell me, to live without love?
I would never fall in love,
But how, tell me, to live without love?
 
Let love deceive a hundred times,
It may no need to cherish it,
Let it become the sadness,
But, can't imagine, how to live without it...
Let it become the sadness
But, I don't know, how to live...
 
On that turnpike, on intersection,
There is no need for me to hurry anymore
To live without love, many telling me,
Much more simpler,
Well, why than I've to live in the world?
To live without love, I know, much more simpler,
But, here I'm, don't know, how to live without it!
 

A half-educated wizard

To calculate a path of the stars
To lay out a garden
To cope with typhone
Magic can do everything
I've got a degree
But the matter is
I am a mighty wizard only on paper
 
Refrain:
Teachers wasted their time with me
The best skilled wizzard wasted his time with me
I wasn't listening intently to my wise teachers
I did my homework by halves
 
I wanted to make a thunderstorm
But I got a goat
A pink goat with yellow streak
It had a leg instead of a tail
It had horns on a leg
I wouldn't like to meet this goat again
 
Refrain
 
I wanted to make a flat-iron
But I got an elephant with a bee's wings
It had flowers instead of ears
I have a dream at night
The goat and elephant are crying
They are crying and telling me,
'What have you done with us?'
'What have you done with us?'
 
Refrain
 

Too late

Too late
We met each other
Too late
The stars above us are not the same
We are tired and serious
We don't hide our sad eyes
Our sad eyes
Anyway it's great
To be linked together by fate too late
 
Refrain:
Better late than never
Better late than never
Maybe we have the best years of our lives
 
Too late
Rain have become a river
Too late
Birds had come back to their nests long ago
It's hard for us
We can't escape our past
Can't escape
It's a good thing
We met each other too late on the way
 
Refrain:
Better late than never
Better late than never
Maybe we have the best years of our lives
 
Now it's too late for us to be apart
It's too late to be afraid of evil tongues
Our storms have subsided
And we have hope
Good thing that too late
Your hand in my hand
 
Refrain:
Better late than never
Better late than never
Maybe we have the best years of our lives
 

Kings can do everything

There once was... There once was... There once was a King
He ruled over his country and people as he could
His name was Louis II, his name was Louis II
However, this song is not about him, but about love
 
There was a beauty in those times,
She pastured geese behind the walls of the Palace
But she was the cutest girl in the world to Louis
Louis decided that he would marry her
 
Refrain:
Kings can do everything, Kings can do everything
Sometimes they can decide the fate of the whole world
Say what you like, but none of the Kings can marry for love
None of the Kings can marry for love
 
Louis said, 'I'm getting married, I'm getting married'
But all of the Kings got together
Ah, there was a great scandal, there was a great scandal
However, this song is not about it, but about love
 
He walked down the aisle with another girl
All of her relatives were Kings
But if you had seen a portrait of this Princess
You wouldn't be jealous of Louis
 
Refrain
 

Please, don't renounce your love

Versions: #5
Please, do not renounce your love.
Our lifes won't end tomorrow,
I'll stop await for you...
But you'll come all of a sudden...
Well... Don't renounce your love.
 
You will be back when it is a dark,
When the snowstorm is in your windows,
And you will remember how long
We had not comforted one another.
Yeah... You'll be back when it's very dark.
 
And you will die for that warmth,
The one you have despised for ever.
You won't await another day...
This's how much you'll need it...
Oh yes, you're desperate for that warmth.
 
And I'll give anything for it,
But before I can believe it...
I know it is impossible for me do not await for you...
All day... away from that door...
I'll give anything for it.
 
Please, do not renounce your love...
Our lifes won't end tomorrow,
But I'll stop await for you...
But then, I know you'll come all of a sudden...
Oh well... Don't renounce your love...
 
Don't ever renounce your love...
