Return to the fold

Willows swayed behind a pond,
Wind flounced over a margin
Here, I returned to the fold
Where the cuckoo-clock is still going
 
Heart skips a beat, I walk onto the porch
And, as in childhood, the time makes cuckoo
And from the porch I enter an empty room
To embrace my father, to kiss my mom
 
All three, we'll sit like that for a while,
And the past will come back for a moment
''Like this, - mom will tell me, - we live,
Good, but the time runs too fast''
 
At the pond mother will say goodbye,
And father will say goodbye behind the margin,
And the bird will start to make cuckoo -
What am I supposed to do with this cuckoo?..

Think it over if it doesn't go so well with your wife

Think it over if it doesn't go so well with your wife.
Think it over - if your head in not so good.
Think it over - when you get robbed at the main entrance.
Say only thank you, that you are alive.
 
Now what's so specific - a sarkom agonizing you.
Now what's so specfic - that the periodic alcoholism began.
Now what's so specific - about having been chased out of home.
Say only thank you, that you are alive.
 
Never mind - your partner at poker got hit.
Never mind that a house-spectre appeared nightly.
Never mind that your neighbour knocked out two of your teeth.
Say only thank you, that you are alive.
 
Agreed - now, you fell asleep in the sawdust.
Agreed - you have been kicked in the jaw-bone with a foot.
Agreed - you've been lugged off with a stretcher.
Say only thank you, that you are alive.
 
Yes, that's right - when one wants, one is able to.
Yes, that's right - it's my fault, god be with me!
Yes, that's right. But something troubles me -
To whom do I say, thank you, that I am alive?
 

Fog

This lake never gets drained before winter,
they just wait till all the fish freeze,
and then, men with axes are marching,
cut holes in the ice and each of them takes their own fish.
 
Open the window, let the fog in your room,
everything will disappear, no matter if it's yours or not.
 
Run, run, run, run away,
a huge tomcat is chasing you,
followed by the men with axes,
and when they catch you, they'll kill you and eat you.
 
(2x)
Open the window, let the fog in your room,
everything will disappear, no matter if it's yours or not.
 
And it will be dead obvious, what's yours and what's not.
 

Moscow, you're my hope, Moscow, you're my joy

We hear the echo of the old parade,
We dream of the routes of the main attack,
Moscow, you're my hope, Moscow, you're my joy
In the soldier's heart - you are, my Moscow.
 
We have reached honestly our suffered victory,
Betrayed to a holy consanguinity,
In every new home, in every new song
Remember those who left for the battle for Moscow.
 
Gray overcoats. Russian talents.
Shining of blue of unbiased eyes
On the plains of snow young cadets are standing.
Immortality began. Life was broken off.
 
I do not need anything in this ancient world -
Just that in the hard times you will be alive,
Moscow, you're my hope, Moscow, you're my joy,
In every Russian heart you, you are, my Moscow.
Moscow, you're my hope, Moscow, you're my joy
In every Russian heart you, you are, my Moscow.
 
Everything what happened, our children will remember,
All that we have lost, and what have saved for them,
I wish you to remain the best on the planet,
The most fair and just city of the Earth.
 
Quivering looks of our old streets,
Strict lyrics of our young songs,
Moscow, you're my hope, Moscow, you're my joy
In each of our hearts you are, my Moscow.

Take more

Wake up, get up, dress, getting loose
Accelerating, watch TV, take extremely more
Accelerate, eat something, drink something, take that
Enjoy yourself, so what, full throttle
Go fast, just running, endlessly
You know the trends, let's go the whole hog
Always on, right on, non-stop, on top
Come in, online, oh no, you bet
Don't care, unwrap it, rip it and chomp it
Show off, don't resign, lights on, lights off
More and more, much more, give it to yourself, give it to me
Empty it, clean up the mess
Immediately full throttle, full dose
You can sleep when you are dead
We're creating something big here
You can do it, all you have to do is
Take more
Do it for me
You can take more
It's good for you
You can take more
You and I
You can take more
Leave it, leave it, fly a lot, see something
Going far, talking small, reaping envy, sowing hatred
Pushing off, pushing off, hanging off, pulling off
Dunning, flattening, skimming and walking
Cheating, lying, increasing assets
Bribing, seducing, airs and graces, affairs
Many enemies, many honours, no one here is fair
Nobody knows how hard it is here
Because more is more and of course only cash is true
What was doesn't matter, pay for it and do it again
Do it all, make it fit, let it be done for you
Forget it, squander it, that's the most incredible thing
What is there, take it with you, take it with you, take it with you
You can take more
Do it for me
You can take more
It's good for you
You can take more
You and I
You can take more
It's good for you
Full throttle, full dose now,
You can sleep when you're dead
We're creating something big here.
You can do it, all you have to do is
Take more
Do it for me
You can take more
It's good for you
You can take more
You and I
You can take more
It's good for you
You can take more
Do it for me
You can take more
It's good for you
You can take more
You and I
You can take more
 

All That Happened

Versions: #2
All the same the years are passing by as long scroll,
And the life path's getting shorter every day.
Is it not high time for me with tired out soul
For a minute to lie down and rest from play?
 
All that ached and
All that happened
Long ago has gone off deep end.
Lips got tired of caresses,
My soul grew fed up with love.
 
All that warbled,
All that curdled
Long ago decayed and whorled.
Only my guitar, my blessing,
Sings the same old tunes with love.

Grief? Don't Bother!

Never mind, I'll obey till the end of time,
For no one can escape from the fate.
And who needs listless fate? That would be a crime.
Eh, there's no love, but you'll live either way.
 
Eh, grief? Don't bother!
For I gather
I must scoop out sea of life.
Heart, be quiet...
Higher, higher
Silver cups of sweet red wine!
 
Let the tireless guitar sing without shame,
Let the string after string weep and knell.
My brain's stupefied, your drunken eyes're to blame,
And your tune and your laughter's dark spell.
 
Eh, grief? Don't bother!
For I gather
I must scoop out sea of life.
Heart, be quiet...
Higher, higher
Silver cups of sweet red wine!

Men hide themselves away to cry

and if the night drags on
and the rain comes along
will you come?
 
and if I lose my head
if I go up to heaven
will you love me?
 
if the night drags on
will you come?
if I lose my head
will you love me?
 
and if day breaks
and the rain should clear
will you love me?
 
it’s like a bad dream
all the birds die
and love flies away
 
if day breaks
will you come?
like a bad dream
if love flies away
and the night drags on
will you come?
if I lose my head
will you love me?
 
if the night drags on
will you come?
if I lose my head
will you love me?
all men act proud
when love flies away
all men hide themselves away
to cry sometimes
 

Tatyana

We met in the bar of a restaurant,
Your traits look so familiar to me.
Do you remember me, my Tatyana?
My love and our erstwhile dreams?
I see the suffering of red lips,
Silence of emptiness is in your eyes.
So tell me, my Tatyana, where, where
Are my love and our erstwhile dreams?
Tatyana, do you remember golden days,
Lilac bushes and the moon in the peace of alleys?
Tatyana, do you remember our erstwhile dreams?
I loved you, now we can't renew our youth.
Thick fragrant tresses fell,
You bowed your head to my chest.
Tatyana, do you remember golden days?
We can't return the gone spring.
 
I have to say that (obviously) English is not my native language, so if you feel that my translation needs some corrections, do not hesitate to offer them =)) I really want to get rid of mistakes.

Anthem

I'm losing my mind, I'm I'm losing my mind, I'm...
I'm losing my mind, I'm I'm losing my mind, I'm...
 
I couldn't sleep all night, got around
Went around like a lunatic
What will be two years from now
If right now, after two days
I'm burning up
And everybody's asking me
 
What's new? How are you? How do you feel?
I'm losing it
She's the prettiest in the country, and even more
There's no other like her and she's...
 
She's like an anthem
Everybody knows her
She's one in a million
I just don't get her
 
She tells me 'Come', she tells me 'Bye'
She tells me 'More', she tells me 'Enough'
It's not fair what she does
It's always what she wants.
She tells me 'Stop', she tells me 'Go'
She tells me 'Come back', she never says 'Thank you'
And I don't know what to do with her
Believe me
 
I'm losing my mind, I'm I'm losing my mind, I'm...
I'm losing my mind, I'm I'm losing my mind, I'm...
 
She's got what she's got
Let's just say she doesn't lack, thank God
She's gonna suck my soul out
But it'll be worth it
I'm not giving up
 
Ooh... She's like an anthem
Everybody knows her
 
She tells me 'Come', she tells me 'Bye'
She tells me 'More', she tells me 'Enough'
It's not fair what she does
It's always what she wants.
She tells me 'Stop', she tells me 'Go'
She tells me 'Come back', she never says 'Thank you'
And I don't know what to do with her
Believe me
 
She tells me 'Come'
She tells me 'Bye'
And I don't know what to do with her...
 
She tells me 'Come', she tells me 'Bye' (I'm losing my mind)
She tells me 'More', she tells me 'Enough' (I'm losing my mind)
It's not fair what she does
It's always what she wants.
She tells me 'Stop', she tells me 'Go'
She tells me 'Come back', she never says 'Thank you'
And I don't know what to do with her
Believe me
 
I'm losing my mind, I'm I'm losing my mind, I'm...
I'm losing my mind, I'm I'm losing my mind, I'm...

Up and down

Life is not a vale of tears, but it is crazy
It goes up and down, but courage will give joy
Life is a song, you have to sing about it
With full voice and wholeheartedly, then it will succeed
 
Up and down, again and again
This is how life writes its songs
Up and down, again and again
Life is music, it needs new songs
 
Life wants to play and has a lot of imagination
It is full of surprises, what will come, you never know
It is an adventure, a possibility
And a tragedy full of beauty
 
Up and down, again and again
This is how life writes its songs
Up and down, again and again
Life is music, it needs new songs
 
I will gladly let myself get excited about recklessness
For to learn to live is to master the abyss
And when I will be sitting in the dark, I will light a flame
And whenever something comes to an end, I will start something new
 
Up and down, again and again
This is how life writes its songs
Up and down, again and again
Life is music, it needs new songs
 
Up and down, up and down
Up and down, again and again
Up and down, again and again
This is how life writes its songs
 

Manhunters

They'd like to bury us in jail.
They'd like to send us to hell.
The devil doesn't want us at all,
waiting for them for thousands of years already.
 
I mean the manhunters and desk criminals,
who have murdered us a million times,
already fear for their white collars.
 
When the Führer calls, they are there.
They can be bought for the worst disgrace
and they kill and think nothing about it.
They are the cause of every shooting.
 
I mean the manhunters and desk criminals,
who have murdered us a million times,
they already feel the noose around their white collars.
 
Manhunters, will you get it?
I don't know how many will perish because of you today.
But of one thing I can assure you:
Your machine guns will not reign forever.
 
You can hunt and massacre us,
for everyone you get two others will march.
You can obey, you can command.
And if you fight against us all, you will lose.
 
Manhunters, desk criminals, people's police, criminal investigators, NPD, fascists, sadists, CIA.
Neckermanns, Genscher, Springer, Krupp, all war profiteers.
Neubauer, Ruhnau, Nixon, Hübner, Schreiber and how they're all called.
Franz Josef, Rainer,
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, watch the hand on the clock.
Paper tigers.
 

Nothing is yours

Versions: #2
Give in to yourself, you are going to find
Most eagerly your being is searching
For new joy and new meaning
And for a new anchor stone
 
Nothing is yours
But that moment
In which your loving fate
Is holding you tightly in its arms
And your star dances with the world
 
Rise up out of the ashes of a world
In which no fire is breathing warmth
For when you are living long enough
Close to the abyss
Even that will become normality
 
Nothing is yours
But that moment
In which your loving fate
Is holding you tightly in its arms
And your star dances with the world
 
Give yourself what you need
Before you breathe your last breath
What does your heart want to see?
Treat yourself to color
And let yourself go
 
Nothing is yours
But that moment
In which your loving fate
Is holding you tightly in its arms
And your star dances with the world
 

Metnotstand meseországbanm

Történetekben és mondákban
Kemény harc folyik.
Ezért kell egy erős
Szomjoltó!
 
Fenn a hegyeken
A tündéknél és törpöknél:
Csalás és képmutatás,
Amitől senki se intette őt.
 
Metnotstand meseországban!
A szomjúság forrón perzsel mint a tűz!
Metnotstand meseországban!
A Grimm fivérek drágán megfizetnek.
Metnotstand meseországban!
Nyújtsd a kezed komám, ez:
Metnotstand meseországban!
 
Spekulánsok távoli vidékről
A Mézsört nyereségesnek találták.
A mesevilág összetart
Ez nem a világ összes pénze.
 
Az ördög három arany hajszállal
rögtön valamit vedelni akar.
Hans szerencsére levert
Mert a szellem a pohárban nem étvágygerjesztő!
 

Together

Together we're great, together we're one
Come, let's stay together a bit longer
Put your mits* up and the cups too
Today we're partying until sunrise
 
When I say like pot and lid,
When I say like Rotz and Löffel*
When I say like lightning and thunder
So to speak with no full stop and comma
When I say like thick as thieves*
When I say like heart and soul
When I say for life
It's clear what we're talking about
Yeah man, because being alone is out
The time of not trusting anyone anymore is over
In case they as you 'are you alone here?'
Tell them 'no, because here I'm with everyone!'
 
We, we are inseparable,
We, we are unmistakeable,
We're creating a memorial to ourselves
 
Together we're great, together we're one
Come, let's stay together a bit longer
Put your hands up and the cups too
Today we're partying until sunrise
Because together, you're not alone
Come, let's tell each other everything
Because together, you're not alone
Come, let's stay together a bit longer
 
When I say like man and wife
Together as in 'yeah, exactly'
Together like old and grey
As in ups and downs, I'm gone
Together like fit like a glove*
Together like carpooling
So to speak, tailor-made
Nobody was this together
Together, as in true friendship,
Together like Clueso and Fantas*
Propose to the whole team*
We go way back
 
We, we are inseparable,
We, we are unmistakeable,
We're creating a memorial to ourselves
 
Together we're great, together we're one
Come, let's stay together a bit longer
Put your mits up and the cups too
Today we're partying until sunrise
Because together, you're not alone
Come, let's tell each other everything
Because together, you're not alone
Come, let's stay together a bit longer
 
Because we're all here in the same place
Alway together like beats and bass
Up the shut fuck you must
Because nothing fits in between
Here there's no too high, too flat
Too this, too that
Too near, too long
Because we're staying together
 
To all true lovers
Good friends (of) many years
There's no I in this We
But you see yourself in this four*
La familia, the feeling is there
Turns the night to day
Until midday yeah
Come, today we're celebrating together-day, yeah
 
Together we're great, together we're one
Come, let's stay together a bit longer
Put your mits up and the cups too
Today we're partying until sunrise
Because together, you're not alone
Come, let's tell each other everything
Because together, you're not alone
Come, let's stay together a bit longer
 
A bit longer, a bit longer
A bit longer, a bit longer
 

Between Heaven and Earth

Between Heaven and Earth
Dreams are born
Between Heaven and Earth
They are lost again
 
Those who can't dream, those who haven't got any wishes
Are damned, are poor men
Everything you've got, everything you are
Is often lost overnight
 
Once the land of miracles is burnt down
New dreams are needed
Even if it's once again, like every time
Hard
 
Between Heaven and Earth
Dreams are born
Between Heaven and Earth
They are lost again
 
Some dreams are bitter
Some dreams are sweet
Between Heaven and Earth
I'm looking for my Paradise
 
Being happy for the rest of your life
Doesn't happen by chance
A love only lasts as long as it lasts
And not an hour more
 
Red roses don't blossom in January
But one can still dream of them
But the illusion
Will warm our hearts, too
 
Between Heaven and Earth
Dreams are born
Between Heaven and Earth
They are lost again
 
Some dreams are bitter
Some dreams are sweet
Between Heaven and Earth
I'm looking for my Paradise
 
Between Heaven and Earth
Dreams are born
Between Heaven and Earth
They are lost again
 

Shine (My Little Torch Light)

I always have my little tourch light with me
And when it's getting dark, we're never alone
 
Inside the power house of feelings
Someone pressed the wrong button
It goes 'woosh' and 'boom' and it's getting dark
And my heart gets frightened
 
(Hold it! Never mind!)
(Hold it! Never mind!)
(Hold it! But never mind!)
 
I always have my little tourch light with me
And when it's getting dark, we're never alone
Shine, my little touch light!
Shine, shine, shine into my heart!
Shine, shine, shine, let me be with you!
 
If the Earth turns into the Titanic
And if everybody just wants to leave:
Hey, be cool, don't panic!
So will the last one turn out the light?
 
(Hold it! Never mind!)
(Hold it! Never mind!)
(Hold it! But never mind!)
 
I always have my little tourch light with me
And when it's getting dark, we're never alone
Shine, my little touch light!
Shine, shine, shine into my heart!
Shine, shine, shine, let me be with you!
 
I always have my little tourch light with me
I always have my little tourch light with me
My little torch light, shine, shine, shine!
 

Let’s Dance

If you love me
You're staying with me till the end of the night
Just you and me like the old days
Kids with no clothes
Two whole nights and you can't have enough
How fast I'm working, throwing words in order to speak
No need to say too much now
And perhaps it's better to shut up 'cause the story with you is different
And perhaps you'll come my way
 
If it makes you feel good
There's nothing to think about
Let's dance
I don't wanna leave
You're so close
Let's dance
 
Suddenly the volume is raised, we lift up the place
Everybody's flying, the dance floor's on fire.
Just dancing till tomorrow and more
Let's dance
 
Even if everyone's leaving
You're staying with me, I don't care none
Just you and me already here
Discovering, discovering
I don't understand how it happened to me...
 
You ride along with the beat, one minute and we'll get closer
No need to say too much now
And perhaps it's better to shut up 'cause the story with you is different
And perhaps you'll come my way
 
If it makes you feel good
There's nothing to think about
Let's dance
I don't wanna leave
You're so close
Let's dance
Suddenly the volume is raised, we lift up the place
 
Everybody's flying, the dance floor's on fire.
Just dancing till tomorrow and more
Let's dance
 
Ahh, you ready to move?
Put it in your schedule
You'll move your behind, I'll lose concentration
You'll give me some twerking
Almost as if Penélope Cruz's dancing here
So if you're into it, tell me what is up?
You wrinkle up my heart like it's made of paper
Invest in me, I'm a stock on the rise
Tell people you're mine and that'll solve any problem
 
What do we do with this madness
I'm trying and nothing helps
You got a body that melts iron
The most beautiful stalk in the bouquet
Goddamn, even if it's going to be hard
I'm not one to compromise
And you know, if I had a smile like yours
I would've been rich long ago
 
If it makes you feel good
There's nothing to think about
Let's dance
I don't wanna leave
You're so close
Let's dance
Suddenly the volume is raised, we lift up the place
Everybody's flying, the dance floor's on fire.
Just dancing till tomorrow and more
Let's dance!
 

Awaken

Versions: #2
A soft dream is scorching my brain,
A child on the sand is laughing his head off.
A hand is sinking in my forehead,
What country is that?
 
Leaves are laughing on the dying trees,
Drunk boats wander through hours,
The forgotten ones are waiting on the shores of the present.
 
The flute is babbling, the mirror is screaming,
Tired distant voices are fading away.
Dwarves are going to the woods
And haunting queens.
 
Leaves are laughing on the dying trees,
Drunk boats wander through hours,
The forgotten ones are waiting on the shores of the present.
 

Father the Great Wild Field (S)

At the moment when a whirlwind over you is getting stronger
Give a harness and spurs to your black horse. It’s time to roam
Only dust will rise behind you on the road hoofed all over
For the last time look back and go
At the moment when a whirlwind over you is getting stronger
Right beside you, your friend will be
O’er the Rapids you, good Cossack, will find out you’re no orphan
Homed by Father, the Great Wild Field 1
Father, the Great Wild Field
 
Spare your life for no nothing in this world, my Cossack, hear
That a life of the young is short-lived like midnight’s pitch
Should you one day lay it down, not a soul would shed tears
Over her sons never mourns the Sich 2
When you hear a black raven over you begin to croak
Friends will cover your eyes with silk
And with freezing cold ground and green grass you will be cloaked
By your Father, the Great Wild Field
Father, the Great Wild Field
 
Such is any Cossack’s lot to go fighting till his life ends
Each of them must pick out his way, his only life way
You are not the one who pardons, nor the one who comes to labour
You’re a free-willed Cossack at large
At the moment when a whirlwind over you is getting stronger
No fiend will escape your tight fists
And you fear no one ‘cause they are both at your shoulder
Mother Sich and the Great Wild Field
Father the Great Wild Field!

Giant Deer (JULU)

Have I passed the speed of light in the universe?
Hiding behind the galaxy
Who can find me?
A strange dream flying across the night sky
Like a giant deer
In the darkness
Run
Chasing the sun…
To places afar
Fly
Waving both arms...
To become wings
Ah~
I tried crossing the endless void
Unbound by reality
I yearn to leave for another nation
I want to dance with the falling stars
Oh~
Run
Chasing the sun…
To places afar
Fly
Waving both arms...
To become wings
Ah~
Run
Chasing the sun…
To places afar
Fly
Waving both arms...
To become wings
Ah~
 

Yellow Roses

At what time did gleeful May
Become a sleepy world.
I again, remembering everything.
What before did not come true
I shall go in the spring garden
As many years ago
I will gift a bouquet of yellow roses
I shall go in the spring garden
As many years ago
I will gift a bouquet of yellow roses
 
These yellow roses
Against the tender light of dawn
As tears of farewell, as tears of farewell
Perhaps we met late
Us together sometime?
Our memory remained
Yellow roses
 
That's the same on that day long ago
Around [us] the earth was blossoming
I saw you off
Cannot hold back the powerful tears
You took with you
Hello, my farewell:
A large bouquet of yellow roses
You took with you
Hello, my farewell:
A large bouquet of yellow roses
 
These yellow roses
Against the tender light of dawn
As tears of farewell, as tears of farewell
Perhaps we met late
Us together sometime?
Our memory remained
eYellow roses
 
These yellow roses
Against the tender light of dawn
As tears of farewell, as tears of farewell
Perhaps we met late
Us together sometime?
Our memory remained
Yellow roses
 
Our memory remained
Yellow roses...
 

What Do Girls in Rio Do

What do girls in Rio do
When the sun goes down in the evening?
They dance with their amigos
Whenever a hot 'Bailão!”1 can be heard
 
What do girls in Rio do
At night when the stars are shining bright?
They kiss someone, they kiss someone
For that alone is what makes the night worthwhile
 
Well, well - in Brazil
It's not like they only grow coffee there
Well, well - in Brazil
Well - they also kiss and dance
 
What do girls in Rio do
If their amigo leaves them?
They take another one
And yes, they hang on to him
 
What do girls in Rio do
If a senhore2 wants to marry them?
They pledge loyalty to him
And nobody knows if they mean it
 
Well, well - in Brazil
It's not like they only grow coffee there
Well, well - in Brazil
Well - they also kiss and dance
 
Well, well - in Brazil
It's not like they only grow coffee there
Well, well - in Brazil
Well - they also kiss and dance

Goodbye Forever

Evening descends upon the city [lit. 'To the city comes the evening']
At the window it's already the 3rd of November
I light candles
In front of me, your photo
Again and again the memory
Returns me to those days, those days
Again and again I'm saddened by them
Again and again the memory
Returns me to those days, those days
Again and again I'm saddened by them
 
Goodbye forever, last love
Goodbye forever - there are no sad words
July evening, favorite eyes
And we can not return our encounter
 
We met by chance
And I thought that he was happy
Better that I do not believe
But I met you and loved you
A fairytale-like summer holiday
It was beautiful and pure, like you, like you
Warm sun, grass and flowers
A fairytale-like summer holiday
It was beautiful and pure, like you, like you
Warm sun, grass and flowers
 
Goodbye forever, last love
Goodbye forever - there are no sad words
July evening, favorite eyes
And we can not return our encounter
 

I speak every language of the world

'Twas up North, in Scotland, where I met an old man
I thought he was lost, so I offered to help
He just shook his grey hair, he wasn't missing anything
I sat down with him on the grass and he told me:
 
'I speak every language of the world
For music is my language
This song is my passport
And my good spirits are my currency
The sun is my watch, the leaves are my calendar
I own every flower and the dust on the streets
I speak every language of the world
That's all that counts in my life'
 
The following year, down South, there was a house in the shadows
I asked for a bit of water and the old man stepped outside
I was surprised and asked, 'How come you're around?'
And the old man said, 'During summer, I'm by the sea'
 
'I speak every language of the world
For music is my language
This song is my passport
And my good spirits are my currency
The sun is my watch, the leaves are my calendar
I own every flower and the dust on the streets
I speak every language of the world
That's all that counts in my life'
 
Years later in the mountains, I came upon a grave
Someone who wanted to climb up to the summit, he never came back down
I could hardly decipher what the epitaph said:
'Music was my language,' yes, and I knew his song
 
'I speak every language of the world
For music is my language
This song is my passport
And my good spirits are my currency
The sun is my watch, the leaves are my calendar
I own every flower and the dust on the streets
I speak every language of the world
That's all that counts in my life
I speak every language of the world
That's all that counts in my life'

Shatlak's Song

No matter how unfair the wildfire of injustice is in Chechnya,
You kept falling and rising again.
The lightning of the Caucasus, the cradle of liberty,
Your honour was kept by your proud people.
 
The peace between your peoples is priceless wealth!
There is no other motherland for the Chechens.
Our lives and our deaths are in the heart of our homeland,
We beg you to bless us.
 
Our ancestors' souls descended to Bashlam's peak.
The wave of Argun speaks our mother tongue.
Our lives blessed us with a great gift — you!
Shatlak's song gave us strength!
 
Love for work and courage, respect for all peoples,
Let this be pleasant news for you.
The Guardian of freedom, who has found its path
Live for us, oh worthy Chechnya!
 

Gift Me Your Love

I still know nothing of you,
only that you are wonderful,
but believe me,
tonight is the night for lovers
 
Hear how beautiful the song
of the harmonica rings,
'Gift me your love'.
 
Hear the melody,
that full of longings lightly sings:
'Gift me your heart.'
 
Way too fast time flies,
whenever you're really in love.
Let us both dream,
say 'no' let me today not alone.
 
Hear the melody,
that full of longings lightly sings:
'Gift me your heart.'
 
Hear the melody,
that full of longings lightly sings:
'Gift me your heart'.
 
Hear the melody,
that full of longings lightly sings:
'Gift me your heart.'
 
Hear the melody,
that full of longings lightly sings:
'Gift me your heart'.
 
Gift me your heart!
 

Sunlit Island

All ropes are tightened
Fairy tale is a deceit
Sunlit Promised Island
Is gone at drumbeat
No enchanted castle
On Earth to explore
Someone is wrong
Keeping the score
 
All fairies are faking it
There is no golden hills
Others are catching
The stars and the thrills
No birds of paradise
To banish the crows
Someone is wrong
Keeping the scores
 
In Spring it’s all melting
The snow and the ice
The ocean, the mountains
The pure blue skies
You know what will save us?
The Faith and Belief
In God’s perfect timing will grant a relief
 
All ropes are tightened
Fairy tale is a deceit
Sunlit Promised Island
Is gone at drumbeat
No enchanted castle
On Earth to explore
Someone is wrong
Keeping the score

Amagi Pass

A scent of perfume hard to conceal
It clung to you before you knew it
If you had to be stolen away
I'd rather kill you myself
Sleeping together at a secret retreat
A long and winding path to Joren1 Falls
Soaring up and falling down―over your shoulder
I can see burning mountains
I don't care what lies ahead
Treading through the blazing fire
I want to go with you down the Amagi2 Pass
 
I've been trying to say goodbye
A shard of glass stuck in my throat
Could you make it less cold
Embracing me if half-heartedly
The Wasabi3 Gorge across a hidden path
An evening drizzle at the Kanten4 Bridge
Trying and trying to hate you―the body never lies
I can see burning mountains
I don't care if I can't return
Crawling along the blazing ground
I want to go with you down the Amagi Pass
 
A troubled couple by a running stream
Winds blowing through the Amagi Tunnel
Trying and trying to hate you―the body never lies
I can see burning mountains
I don't care if I can't return
Crawling along the blazing ground
I want to go with you down the Amagi Pass

A song to my marvellous abilities

Versions: #2
I have seen the desert having a downpour
have seen the ocean kissing a shark
have seen the dusk chasing the dawn
But I have not seen you
 
I know beauty will fade away
lives exist beyond lives
I know poems blow in the wind
I do not know you
 
I have heard desolation turning into exhilaration
have heard the dust burying castles
have heard the sky refusing the birds
I have not heard of you
 
I understand that all I see are bubbles
Though bitter, serenity is the best remedy
I understand what makes me proud
I do not understand you
 
I refuse a rounder and better moon
refuse unknown adventures
refuse to sing my own praise
I do not refuse you
 
I became a bleak scenery
became a nonchalant still-life
became a transparent high wall
I did not become you
 
I have heard the echoes from an empty mirror
rainwater rejuvenating the isolated mountain ranges
have heard the spelled secrets
I have not heard of you
 
I held onto my scattered lust
the fragrance of attachment put me in a fluster
I held onto the false impression of the world
I did not hold onto you
 
I tolerated the freezing of springs in June
tolerated the immortality of life
tolerated my hesitation towards the world
I did not tolerate you
 
I forgot I am on a despairing island, deserted
forgot tears only cure in vain
forgot the silent slogans of a hundred years
I did not forget you
 
I want a rounder and better moon
want unknown adventures
want to sing my own praise
I want you
 

Chechen Patriotic Song (The Land of Prophet Noah’s Grandsons)

A fire blazes up in our hearts,
We have lost to happiness,
May the almighty God bless you,
My Muslim Chechnya!
 
As a cheerless child,
So don’t look at me,
For you're a shining star,
I would sacrifice myself for you, my Chechnya!
 
There is no God except God,
May the almighty God bless you,
There is no God except God,
My Muslim Chechnya!
 
Breaking you will not make you kneel down,
We will not let them break your honour,
It is impossible to gain a golden sun,
My Muslim Chechnya!
 
Stop a bullet to his soul,
Sends compliments for you,
I would die in your sons stead,
I would sacrifice myself for you, my Chechnya!
 
There is no God except God,
May the almighty God bless you,
There is no God except God,
My Muslim Chechnya!
 
When it see to hawk which is dancing tricky,
Sorrow and distress grow pale,
It is cheerfulness for our homeland,
Smile my Chechnya!
 
A fire blazes up in our hearts,
We have lost to happiness,
May the almighty God bless you,
My Muslim Chechnya!
 
There is no God except God,
May the almighty God bless you,
There is no God except God,
My Muslim Chechnya!
