Tango for Nepheli

Young Nepheli wore a ribbon with a golden thread,
And captivated all around her with her beauty, and two angels
Flew down to her from the heavens, fallen in love with her.
 
The angels wanted, after having charmed her, to take her away with them,
And to give her a narcotic-herb to drink so that
The excellent Nepheli would forget about earth.
 
And the one stole her breath,
And the other took her frangrance and tenderness
The cherub pierced her heart with his arrow.
 
God merciful saves her
And conveys her in a cloud to the valley of happiness
Sheltering her from angels and hiding her from people.

What River Does My Vessel Voyage Upon?

Versions: #1
What river does my vessel voyage upon
Until those last days of your final might?
When the master clock interrupts this life of mine
You may ask: of what did I live for?
 
I will stand before that court -
My mind is afire, and the spirit is in a haze...
My homeland is my last haven
I will take on all of your sins.
 
Amidst the stubble and the roses, amidst the wars and the tears
I bore upon myself all your transgressions.
Perhaps my life was ridiculous,
But to someone else it is necessary.
 
What river does your vessel voyage upon
Until those last days of your final might?
When the master clock interrupts this life of mine

The sun went down

The sun went down. It’s quiet in the lea.
A shepherd’s song carries from his reed.
Touching foreheads, the herd listens to the tunes:
Of what the shock-headed Gamayun croons.
And echo, frolicsome, glides off their lips,
Taking their thoughts to unknown fields.
Loving your days and the dark of your nights, I long
For you, my homeland, for you I coined that song.
 

To the music of His embrace

To the music of the embrace
Betwixt the dear Earth and Sun
How could I not ask for your grace,
Where to shall, lonely, my heart run?
 
- Come back, return the moments lost,
That vanished into the darkness,
That were like stones thrown, almost,
Hurled in the torrential catharsis.
 
Such ones that rushed alongside,
Of me taking no notice,
Like horses that gone wild,
Took off, and disappeared since.
 
Come! Only you can hold back
A madman, and a forlorn,
Clasping to the chest, can soothe
With the quiet heartbeat, a newborn.
 
To the music of the embrace
Betwixt the dear Earth and Sun
How can I not ask for your grace
Where to shall, lonely, my heart run?
 

Greek song - 2

Mom, mom, my heart is wounded,
And longing is lying on my shoulders.
Oh my sonny, on nights like this
Love cannot sleep.
 
Mom, mom, early in the morning
Someone, not me,
Will hug her, separate her,
And take her away with him.
 
My sonny, tonight
Don't wait for an answer at her door,
But till dawn
Sing about your love.
