Good luck

Tell me, friend, why in this huge world
Out of so many men you fell in love with mine?
I've known about your secret places1 and secret days for a long time
You don't need to ask me under false pretenses2
How he makes love to me, what perfume he likes
If life with him is really that different3, you should try for yourself
Now I realize how blind I've been
To all your feelings, glances, words
 
I don't know if I should say Good Luck
I hope you're happy with him
I want to give you some free advice
Beware of good friends
Good Luck, I hope you're happy, too
Don't lie to her the way you lied to me
And pray every hour
That she doesn't start wanting someone else
The door that leads back to me is locked
 
And you, my love, you want to be with her?
I saw the way you look at her, I won't stand in your way
But don't look for me when you get sad
You've made your choice
The Wheel of Fate is turning
And you might hurt the way I do now
 
I don't know if I should say Good Luck
I hope you're happy with him
I want to give you some free advice
Beware of good friends
Good Luck, I hope you're happy, too
Don't like to her the way you lied to me
And pray every hour
That she doesn't start wanting someone else
The door that leads back to me is locked
 
The door that leads back to me is locked

The city is sleeping

The whole city went dark
And sighs quietly in the dream,
And it won't ask me, why
I feel these anxiety and yearning.
 
Chorus:
 
Why am I alone,
And why does the silence hang over me,
Where there're the extinguished windows,
And where I haven't my window?
 
The city has many lights,
Each one is lit by somebody's love,
My light - how to know quickly,
Where it will glow one day?
 
Chorus.
 
I constantly have bad dreams,
I constantly feel like I'm flying somewhere
To touch your shoulder
With an easy wing of silence.1
 
Chorus.
 
I'm catching the sounds of fading heavy footsteps
In the empty alley,
Good night to you, sweet dreams,
Don’t forget to show up later.
 
Chorus.
 

• 1. I didn't quite understand

Without vows, life would be dreary

Without vows,
life would be dreary
like deepest gloom of rainy nights.
So don’t begrudge me them, my dearie,
don’t be afraid to tell me lies.
Life often treats us so unkindly,
There’s so much bustle nowadays...
Don’t fear the words,
most honeyed, idle,
short-lived like flower bouquets.
They’re bringing joy to every person,
without them the world is doomed...
And don’t they serve a higher purpose
Within brief span when they’re in bloom?
 

Song to Stalin's good health

Accept, Great Stalin, our Father,
The love of hearts devoted to the homeland,
Accept the deference of your people
On your joyous birthday.
 
Chorus:
We all sing praise to your deeds,
Live, our Leader, live to make us happy!
 
You illuminated our epoch with clear light,
You are the closest person to us all,
With you, we went the glorious, difficult road,
Fighting for the honour of our native land.
 
Chorus.
 
You lead us on Lenin's path,
You call us all to new exploits,
With you, we entered sunny life,
Fighting for peace and building communism!
 
Chorus:
We all sing praise to your deeds,
Live, our Leader, live to make us happy!
 

Veranica

I have seen again the farmsteads
Where I spent my early years.
The walls are now overgrown with moss,
The glass reflected like a rainbow.
There is dust all over now,
And I felt so sad in the silence!
I went to the garden, it was dull and wild,
All overgrown with grass.
 
What was before is no longer there,
What was before is no longer there,
But the inscription' Veranica',
But the inscription' Veranica'
 
Carved in the bark of a lime-tree
Was telling my eyes about those passed times.
Rise, grow strong, you tree,
Get up like a living monument!
Raise the inscription to the skies
Raise the inscription “Veranica”!
The more days and nights pass,
The beloved name would uplift higher!
 
What was before is no longer there!
What was before is no longer there
But the inscription' Veranica',
But the inscription' Veranica'.
 
The more days and nights pass,
The beloved name would uplift higher!
 
What was before is no longer there!
What was before is no longer there
But the inscription' Veranica',
But the inscription' Veranica'.
 
The more days and nights pass,
The beloved name would uplift higher (Veranica)
The more days and nights pass,
The beloved name would uplift higher (Veranica)
The more days and nights pass,
The beloved name would uplift higher (Veranica)
 

The Middle

Don't let me go.
Don't hold me tight.
Let me have heaven and leave me my nest.
 
See who you love.
Love who you see.
Woman can be a beauty and a beast too, unfortunately.
 
Happiness, that's the middle between no and yes,
between a cool head and blind lust.
Happiness is when you don't always hear time whizzing by,
when you stay even if you don't have to.
 
Say what you think.
Think your part.
If my silence hurts you, I'll kiss you better.
 
Don't fool me.
Don't lie to me.
Unless it can save love, but only then.
 
Happiness isn't a secret tip.
Happiness isn't a gift from a fairy godmother
who cast a spell on us.
Happiness is when you have time to watch
how your love grows with the years.
 
Don't let me go.
Don't hold me tight.
Let me have heaven and leave me my nest.
 
Don't fool me.
Don't lie to me.
Unless it can save love, but only then.
 
Don't let me go.
Don't hold me tight.
 

What do you think of Veronika?

Oh father, oh father, says a girl,
I'm turning ten now
And already my heart is in turmoil
Caused by a sweet image
 
What do you think of Veronika,
The lovely Veronika?
I think something of Veronika,
That's why I visit her so often
 
I've got something for Veronika,
The darling Veronika
I want something from Veronika
And she wants something from me
 
She can — when it's dark
And if she takes a liking to you —
So incredibly, so fabulously play piano
 
That's why I go to Veronika,
The lovely Veronika
I play accordion
And she plays with me
 
The father went to work 1
And only came back at night
His old lady was snoring in bed,
Only the girl was up and spoke thusly:
 
Oh, leave me Veronika,
The lovely Veronika
I want something from Veronika
And she wants something from me
 
She can — when it's dark
And if she takes a liking to you —
So incredibly, so fabulously play piano
 
That's why I go to Veronika
And she plays with me

Christmas night song

The world becomes silent tonight,
There is no clamor and noise.
Snow covers streets, houses,
The song calls for holiday.
 
Millions of souls are heated by one feeling
Some homeliness, peace
That's happiness
 
The candle also lights for you
Look at the sky's many stars
All of them has the light of hope
So hide it in your heart
 
Around the crib, where the little Jesus first cried up
We are all still standing there,
And waiting for that good news.
 
On Christmas night, our dreams
are clear like prayers
Let's tear away the chains of our pain
A better world will come
 
As we all desire peace
The protection of love
Nothing is lost
While someone thinks of you
 
The candle also lights for you
Look at the sky's many stars
All of them has the light of hope
So hide it in your heart
 
Around the crib, where the little Jesus first cried up
We are all still standing there,
And waiting for that good news.
 
All doubt passes away.
We're all waiting for salvation.
 

I'd Like to Know Everything

I'd like to know everything, understand, for a second,
How are you important to me, and what do we mean.
I forgive you all the bad, I promise you
That we'll be together, we'll be together.
 
I'm sure it will work out, I'm sure it will come true
We don't think about what will happen next.
The goal is ahead, there's no obstacle in the way
I'm not scared with you...
 
I'd like to know everything, understand, for a second,
How are you important to me, and what do we mean.
I forgive you all the bad, I promise you
That we'll be together, we'll be together.
 
We're like the heroes of the movie, we'll solve all the passwords,
Our ship was taken prisoner, there'll be many sad scenes.
But it doesn't matter, we look bravely
Only forward.
 
I'd like to know everything, understand, for a second,
How are you important to me, and what do we mean.
I forgive you all the bad, I promise you
That we'll be together, we'll be together.
 
Believe me quickly, among all the seas,
We can go together and find the answer.
To get the sense, to know the truth
Make it right.
 
I'd like to know everything, understand, for a second,
How are you important to me, and what do we mean.
I forgive you all the bad, I promise you
That we'll be together, we'll be together.
