Amidst a quietude of the waves an aquiline call is heard

Amidst a quietude of the waves an aquiline call is heard,
And myriads of stars are caressing the ridges gently
And thousands of names for all these gods would have been short,
Which had created thee, Caucasus, and excogitated

Summer night

I will never realize you
Even if we’ll be close for ages
You’re an ethereal dream,
You are image of life.
Charming smile like the spells that allure,
Eyes make drunk me like elixir lakes,
Where some fading stars sink
To find relaxation and love.
 
How long will my happiness last?
I don’t know this secret.
You look princess who suddenly
Came to the feast.
So I hold your delicate palm
At my face and I quite understand,
It’s a gift of a mystery planet
That was in the East.
So I hold your delicate palm
At my face and I quite understand,
It’s a gift of a mystery planet
That was in the East.
 
This summer night will end very soon
But I will bathe in your love, oh my dear.
A river’s lamenting under the Moon
Sending a mist as a ransom of silver
A river’s lamenting under the Moon
Sending a mist as a ransom of silver
 
I would give for an evening with you
An empire of stillness and quiet.
I would change heaps of verses
For wakeful sweet nights.
And a golden morning will send
With a dawn warm and fresh clear rain
It will wash off the sins
With its golden rays
And a golden morning will send
With a dawn warm and fresh clear rain
It will wash off the sins
With its golden rays
 
This summer night will end very soon
But I will bathe in your love, oh my dear.
A river’s lamenting under the Moon
Sending a mist as a ransom of silver
A river’s lamenting under the Moon
Sending a mist as a ransom of silver

I've been in love with you for so long

Once I had a dream that you said 'yes' to me
And a faded star lit up in the sky
The birds started singing in the snowy garden
You can see this in your dreams but once a year
 
I've been in love with you for so long
This dream is so beautiful
Maybe you'll come to me
In reality not just in my dreams
And in the silence of the moon
You'll discover how much I love you
 
The morning whispers to me,'Wake up!'
But I am afraid to open my eyes
Let me spend just one more minute with you
I don't need any other dream
And regardless of our destinies
Come to me in my dreams tomorrow
Touch my hand
 
I've been in love with you for so long
This dream is so beautiful
Maybe you'll come to me
In reality not just in my dreams
And in the silence of the moon
You'll discover how much I love you
 
But if you say 'no'
The birds will stop their singing
The morning will never come
But I can't reproach you for it
Maybe it's not easy to find the way to you
 
I've been in love with you for so long
This dream is so beautiful
Maybe you'll come to me
In reality not just in my dreams
And in the silence of the moon
You'll discover how much I love you

Ancient roses...

Ancient roses
I'm carrying, alone,
Into the frost and snow,
And long is my road.
On the same path,
With a sword on the shoulder,
He is walking behind
In a misty raincoat.
He is walking and he knows,
That snow is bearing my step,
That over there no more glows
The last sunset,
That I'll never be free
All night long,
That no more freedom
Will follow, it's gone.
And where, belated,
I can sleep, rest my soul?
Only the roses falling
On melted snow.
My yearning is deadly,
I can't help, though,.
He will trample the roses
Aimlessly into the snow.

Love and a parting

Your dress for your wedding is not yet unpacking.
And anthem won’t sound just for us.
But time as a driver it doesn’t like waiting,
The horses want racing at once.
The horses want racing at once.
 
If only the horses don't lose their main line
The bell under the arc would ring long.
‘Cause love and a parting as faithful companions
Are never by one. They come both.
 
We ourselves opened gates. We got driving
And yoked lucky horses as a team.
You saw straight ahead something calling and shining,
But something went out as a dim.
But something went out as a dim.
 
To hear each other is so sacred science,
Overcoming time and storm it will rule.
Love and a parting as faithful companions
Will share the secret in full.
Love and a parting as faithful companions
Will share the secret in full.
 
The more we live here, the years are shorter.
the friends are more valuable to us.
If only the bell under the arc would ring longer
And eyes want to see dear eyes.
And eyes want to see dear eyes.
 
The shore and an ocean are two antipodes
like storm and the sun, like swifts and crows.
‘Cause love and a parting are eternal roads
They both have been passing through hearts.
‘Cause love and a parting are eternal roads
They both have been passing through hearts.
 
‘Cause love and a parting are eternal roads
They both have been passing through hearts.

Alone

I look at my phone
It's a quarter to twelve
It's as though time has stopped
Tell me, how could you be so cold?
You shut me down, took my heart with you
And you didn't look back
I spoke with my mother the other day
She looked at me, took my hand and said:
 
'Life goes on, even though the sun sets,' yeah
But now I'm awake all night, why did you leave?
 
Now I'm all alone, alone, alone
Don't know what to do
Now I'm all alone, alone, alone
I'd wish you were here
'Cause I'm all alone, alone, alone
Don't know what to do
Now I'm all alone, alone
Like a ocean covered in glass covered - petrified
Was all alone
 
All alone, yeah
 
I hear that you're doing well
That you run around in inner city
I wonder who you're with now
You've probably already found someone else
By friends think you're gone for sure, yeah
It's as though love is like a war
But I'm without any weapons, so here I lie
Hearing voices in the middle of the night, I can hear them say
 
'Life goes on, even though the sun sets,' yeah
But now I'm awake all night, why did you leave?
 
I'm all alone, alone, alone
Don't know what to do
Now I'm all alone, alone, alone
I'd wish you were here
'Cause I'm all alone, alone, alone
Don't know what to do
Now I'm all alone, alone
Like a ocean covered in glass covered - petrified
Was all alone
 
All alone, hmm, no
All alone

Light of sad

I will ornament rhymes with a simple new melody.
My song will start sound in the rays of twilight.
And as bees all the time whirl above their honeycomb
Sadness whirls and recalls me the days that were bright
 
(Chorus:)
The light of sad from labyrinth of memory.
The light of sad is always blurry blue.
I feel our life looks as a beggar there
It’s praying fate for love that must be only true
 
Open chest of your soul. It was so generous.
Look and see if you find something that wasn’t spent
Little coin of your love it was precious for both of us.
Our sorrow trembles recalling love and reflects.
 
(Chorus:)
The light of sad from labyrinth of memory.
The light of sad is always blurry blue.
I feel our life looks as a beggar there
It’s praying fate for love that must be only true
 
Let a spider build web on the strings of my guitar then.
Let the leaves of my past go away with a wind with its squall.
May new Love as an artist paint another sweet painting.
But I guess it will use blurry blue to encircle that will draw.
 
(Chorus:)
The light of sad from labyrinth of memory.
The light of sad is always blurry blue.
I feel our life looks as a beggar there
It’s praying fate for love that must be only true

She was fifteen. But with her heartbeat...


She was fifteen. But with her heartbeat -
She could have been my bride.
When I proposed to her laughing
She laughed and went away.
 
It was long ago. Since then
Unknown years and times have been passing.
Our meetings were rare and talks were short
But our silence was so deep.
 
And being faithful to my dream,
On one winter night I left crowded and bright halls,
Where choky masks were smiling to the songs,
Where I was gazing after her.
 
And she left right after me obediently,
She didn't know what would come in a moment.
And black city night only saw
How bride and groom passed by and disappeared.
 
And we met in a church - in silence
On a frosty sunny beautiful day:
We understood that years of silence were clear
And that it was sent to us from above.
 
This story of long blessed searchings
Fills my suffocating singing chest.
I made a building out of these songs,
And other songs are yet to be sung one day.

Epigram (Male dancer! You are rich...)

Male dancer! You are rich. Professor! You are wretched.

What should I do?

The swift-winged century of love is gone
Like melted snow
It became got like an autumn garden
It's impossible to turn it back
To turn it back...
 
But, maybe, we shouldn't hurry the night
And start everything again?
Start everything again?
Oh, what should I do?
Maybe, start everything again?
I don't want to lose you
I can't lose you
Oh, what should I do?
 
The lonely ray has gone
To the captivity of the indifferent clouds
The short way was full of obstacles.
The point of love isn't simple
Isn't simple...
 
But, maybe, we shouldn't hurry the night
And start everything again?
Start everything again?
Oh, what should I do?
Maybe, start everything again?
I don't want to lose you
I can't lose you
Oh, what should I do?

Waste Time

[Xander + Gilli]
And we say 'ai, ai, ai', 'ai, ai, ai, ai, ai'
Waste time with me (waste time with me)
Come and waste time with me
(Come-Come and waste time with me-e-e)
 
[Verse 1: Xander]
That time is always too much
But it makes me do nothing
Just let the time go
Just let the time go your way, hey
We could swim the whole night together
And we could go home and drown in my bed
In a sea full of hope
I drown together with you
 
[Bridge: Xander]
Waste time with me, dance a bit with me
Forget everything and let go
Come and waste time with me, enjoy life with me
Just a bit and we are away
Waste time with me, dance a bit with me
Forget everything and let go
Come and waste time with me, enjoy life with me
Just a bit and we are away, oh oh, oh oh
 
[Chorus: Xander]
Because I said 'ai, ai, ai'
When I saw her legs walk past me-e-e
To of us could go the whole way-ay-ay
So come and waste time together with me-e-e
 
[Verse 2: Gilli]
She asks me, where is my lady - I say to her, 'I have no one'
You know, we serve para, because ladies are having problems
In and out like an break-in
She is sharp shot, even though she has not seen shooting
She will do it like Gyptian
Fuck that slow wine, when we can fuck together
So we finish in her al bhed
Yes, we finish in her al bhed
 
[Bridge: Xander + Gilli]
Waste time with me, dance a bit with me
Forget everything and let go (forget everything and let go)
Come and waste time with me, enjoy life with me
Just a bit and we are away (Just a bit and we are away)
Waste time with me, dance a bit with me
Forget everything and let go (forget everything and let go)
Come and waste time with me, enjoy life with me
Just a bit and we are away, oh oh, oh oh
 
[Chorus: Xander]
Because I said 'ai, ai, ai'
When I saw her legs walk past me-e-e
To of us could go the whole way-ay-ay
So come and waste time together with me-e-e
 
[Contrast piece: Xander]
Give me your hand
Come and give me your time
We can do, what you want
We could hang out together - we could hang out all life
And I have met so many girls, baby none of them are like you
Nah-nah-nah-no
You are in my bed and turn everything up and down like now
Up and down like now
 
[Bridge: Xander + Gilli]
Waste time with me, dance a bit with me
Forget everything and let go (forget everything and let go)
Come and waste time with me, enjoy life with me
Just a bit and we are away (Just a bit and we are away)
Waste time with me, dance a bit with me
Forget everything and let go (forget everything and let go)
Come and waste time with me, enjoy life with me
Just a bit and we are away, oh oh, oh oh
 
[Chorus: Xander]
Because I said 'ai, ai, ai'
When I saw her legs walk past me-e-e
Two of us could go the whole way-ay-ay
So come and waste time together with me-e-e
Orh, because I said 'ai, ai, ai'
When I saw her legs walk past me-e-e
Two of us could go the whole way-ay-ay
So come and waste time together with me-e-e
 
[Gilli]
Because I said 'ai, ai, ai'
When I saw her legs walk past me-e-e
From Copenhagen running to Vestegn-egn-egn
Come and waste time together with me-e-e

Until my world closes my eyes

I once saw you and discovered you forever
I once asked you and said 'yes' forever
We look at the stars, but here down we shine
Most of them go alone, but I go with you now
Until my world closes my eyes, I will love you
Until my world closes my eyes, I will give everything for you
You lie next to me, we laughed tears
We are struck by stones, who would have thought that yesterday
We go quietly through the night and we do not need much
We almost missed ourselves and then took our hearts
We hide in the grass, celebrate the rain loudly
We just need us, we feel again alive
Until my world closes my eyes, I will love you
Until my world closes my eyes, I will give everything for you
You lie next to me, we laughed tears
We are struck by stones, who would have thought that yesterday
Until my world closes my eyes, I will love you
Until my world closes my eyes, I will give everything for you
You lie next to me, we laughed tears
We are struck by stones, who would have thought that yesterday

If I Wrote A Song For You

Versions: #2
If I wrote a song for you, would you stay here a little longer?
'Cause you see, something's pounding, I don't know what it is, but you...
 
You've struck something inside of me
 
If we had another hour, we could hang out a while longer
And if we had the night
I would wait with sleeping until tomorrow
It feels like a movie, yeah, I would press pause if I could
And if we had an entire week together
I'd bring an airplane down from above for us
 
No one captivates me like you, if you were mine, we could go see the entire world
I wonder if your thoughts go as far as mine do
 
If I wrote a song for you, would you stay here a little longer?
'Cause you see, something's pounding, I don't know what it is, but you

While something's pounding, I don't know what it is, but you
You've struck something in me, hey, baby, you've struck something in me
 
So tell me, why are you with him? Think about if you had been my girl
I know the entire city and I know the way around your head just as easily
You look at me once again, if there's something you want to say
Just say it, I'll keep every word when you leave

Faces are calling, as they blow past me, I see yours
I know you'll be mine some day
You must be the most, most pretty girl
Captivate me forever with seconds left

When The Sun Sets

I've run so far away
Without taking you with me
But you embrace my dreams
When the sun sets
 
Tell me, what happened to the two of us?
I've lost something along my way
And I wish myself back
But I've run so far away...
I've run so far away without you
 
It's as though something
Has petrified every word
They lie here in the sand
But they remember where you live
 
Will you be home tonight
If I whisper them on their way to you?
 
I've run so far away
Without taking you with me
But you embrace my dreams
When the sun sets
 
I've run so far away
Without taking you with me
But you embrace my dreams
When the sun sets
 
Todo era mejor que, sentarme a escucharte1
Abrirme y dejarme, vencer por el mar de tu piel
Ahora volando a lo lejos, ya no puedo verte y yo
Quisiera cortarme las alas, caer derrotado y
Quedar yo tendido a tus pies
 
Caught up in the moment, came down pouring
And now that I'm standing right here
By the edge of our hearts abyss I see clear
Should've kept our eyes wide shut
They see much more than when they open up
 
(Took my eyes off of you)
 
Saw the writings on the wall
See I run all day but you catch me at nightfall
 
I've run so far away
Without taking you with me
But you embrace my dreams
When the sun sets
 
You make us seem insane
Make us seem so damn afraid
Will we stay the same
Or leave this dunya and the pain
Can we finally stop these breaking hearts?
 
I've run so far away
Without taking you with me
But you embrace my dreams
When the sun sets
 
I've run so far away
Without taking you with me
But you embrace my dreams
When the sun sets
 
I've run so far away

Foreign Cities

Random rumors brought these words to me,
Lovely yet unneeded words from thee:
'Summer Garden, Neva and its creeks.'1
 
Where and why did you, the stray words, come?
Here's just noise of cities, strange and glum,
Here foreign waters splash and hum,
And the unfamiliar star stays mum.
 
I can't take you, hide, or drive away...
We must live: remembrance leads astray,
And it also hurts - I don't want pain,
I don't want my heart to cry again.
 
All it happened, happened, now it's past,
Now it's covered by a snowstorm blast.
That's why I feel vain and free at last...
 
Where and why did you, the stray words, come?
Foreign gents live in here and then some,
Foreign joy, misfortunes of the scum.
We're forever strangers to all them!..

I love you so much I could cry

Versions:
Raise your stare to this christmas sky
Wish for all your dreams to come true.
My life was not so happy before I met you.
This is just for you. You love them so,
these white flowers.
 
I love you so much I could cry,
every sigh feels like the first time.
Instead of deceitful words,
here is a cloud of roses.
I shall make you a bed
of white roses petals.
I love you up to tears,
I love you madly.
 
The delicacy of your pale skin,
the beauty of your divine hair,
I worship you, nothing is more precious,
and for us it is just the beginning.
I love you so much I could cry.

Surmise And Wait. In Midnight Darkness...

Surmise and wait. In midnight darkness
In your front window, dear friend,
Defiant eyes will glow with sparkles,
And secret door knock will portend.
 
And someone, blowing out the lantern,
Like kindred Spirit, hiding face,
In hope of brief unreal encounter
Steps on your porch with quiet grace.

Be on guard

BE ON GUARD
My dear child, try to understand
What you've done, never do it again
This is wrong, I should've known
It's my mistake, it never should've happened
Where you've been, what has happened, him you have seen
It's a nightmare you'll never see again
From tonight, we are on guard
 
No way out, now that he's here
Don't be afraid, always be on guard
We are prepared, he will see
Weapons and shields, now we are on guard
 
Eyes like coal, heart of ice
Driven by wickedness, he never gets tired
And in his hand is a violin
That will bewitch everyone in its way
 
Keep close to us, you're safe here
You have my word, no one will hurt you as long as we're here
Together tonight, we are on guard
 
No way out, now that he's here
Don't be afraid, always be on guard
We are prepared, he will see
Weapons and shields, now we are on guard
 
No way out, now that he's here
Don't be afraid, always be on guard
We are prepared, he will see
Weapons and shields, now we are on guard
 
I am on guard, Dad, be kind
You're scaring me
I don't want to hear any more
But you must trust in us
Before something terrible happens
 
Once upon a time, a girl like you
She heard a sound, a beautiful melody
She went out to see, she was possessed
Then she was imprisoned the rest of her life
 
No way out, now that he's here
Don't be afraid, always be on guard
We are prepared, he will see
Weapons and shields, now we are on guard
 
Get ready, everyone in place
Here you are strong
We will drive him out of the forest for good
Together tonight, we are on guard
 
Don't be afraid, you're safe here
Keep close to us, always be on guard
We are prepared, he will see
Weapons and shields, always be on guard

Thank You

I who have stepped crushingly over your soul so many times
And have run through you coldly and harshly
I who have failed you so many times
Can only find, here in your hands,
Clusters of the most tender love
And if that were not enough, you do not make me ask for your forgiveness
 
Because of me you couldn't sleep so many nights
And I have invented counterfeit grievances without a reason
I who have even brought you to tears,
And without any more comments see you once again in my arms
Can it be possible that a woman like you is meant for me?
 
Thank you for the honey of your kisses
For your eyes so faithful
For your desire to love me
For the faith you have in me
For healing my wounds
And for giving yourself in such a way
 
Thank you for all of your love
Thank you for your kiss, so spontaneous
Your embraces, so strong
Your hands, my allies
Your insults, so minor
For having my back
For thinking of me
 
Thank you for always being you
I who have sometimes left you there, forgotten
I who have found you during snowy nights
I who was so absent could not expect so much
A rose garden of charms, a spring of anise
God has given me a gift which I never deserved
 
Thank you for the honey of your kisses
For your eyes so faithful
For your desire to love me
For the faith you have in me
For healing my wounds
And for giving yourself in such a way
 
Thank you for all of your love
Thank you for your kiss, so spontaneous
Your embraces, so strong
Your hands, my allies
Your insults, so minor
For having my back
For thinking of me
Thank you for always being you
 
Sometimes you saw me run away, but
You caught me and made me continue on my way
 
Thank you for the honey of your kisses
For your eyes so faithful
For your desire to love me
For the faith you have in me
For healing my wounds
And for giving yourself in such a way
 
Thank you for all of your love
Thank you for your kiss, so spontaneous
Your embraces, so strong
Your hands, my allies
Your insults, so minor
For having my back
For thinking of me
Thank you for always being you

Thank you
Thank you for all of your love
Thank you for always being you

Cocainette

Versions: #2
Why are you crying here, lonely, foolish child
Crucified by cocaine in the wet boulevards of Moscow?
Your slim neck is barely covered by fur collar.
And it's bold, wet and amusing, like You...
 
You've been poisoned already with boulevard's autumn slush
And I know, if you scream, you can go insane, no doubt.
And when you'll die on this bench, all nightmarish
You little purple corpse the darkness will wrap in a shroud...
 
So, don't cry, it's not worth it, my lonely child.
Crucified by cocaine in the Moscow wet boulevards.
Better wrap your slim neck with the fur collar tighter
And go there, where no one will ask You, who You are.

Hour-Hand Of Old Clock Is Approaching Midnight...

Hour-hand of old clock is approaching midnight.
As a light wave, candles have been roused within sight.
As a dark wave, my thoughts have been roused too frequent.
Happy New Year, my heart! I love you in secret,
These obscure evenings, and the lifeless mute streets,
I love you in secret, sullen shadow soulmate
Of the vicious boyhood, of the life that's faded.

We Were Together, I Recall...

We were together, I recall...
The night was anxious, harp sang of thee...
In those days you were mine, my doll,
With every moment grew more lovely...
 
Through quiet murmur of the rills,
Through smile, mysterious and childish,
The lips were asking for a kiss,
Harp sounds asked to follow heart wish...

In The White Night - Crimson Crescent...

In the white night - crimson crescent's
Coming out in the blue.
Roams in ghostly-splendid essence,
Looks in Neva stream askew.
 
Secret thoughts' fulfillment beckons,
I can see it in my sleep.
Does Good hide in you, I reckon,
Crimson crescent, quiet weep?..

Secret Symbols Burn Brighter For Hours...

Secret symbols burn brighter for hours
On a solid and wakeless brick wall.
Golden red heads of wild poppy flowers
Weigh upon me when night dreams befall.
 
I take cover in night caves in fears,
And I don't recall hard-faced surprise.
At the dawn - dreadful azure chimeras
Look at me in bright mirror of skies.
 
I am running away to past moments,
In dead fear I'm closing my eyes,
On cold pages of book of atonement
Golden tress of a virgin maid lies.
 
The sky dome over me's getting lower,
A black dream weighs upon my tight chest.
Preordained end of my life gets closer,
War and fire ahead line abreast.

And She Longed For Love So Very Much

She was cute, but only who took a closer look at her
Could see it
And no one came so close to understand her
For there were so many other pretty girls
And perhaps she has never
made it too easy for men
Never encouraged them nor smiled at them right away
And no one saw the tenderness in her.
 
And she longed for love so very much
For a little warmth in her life
She always stood there sadly
No one saw the tears on her face
She longed for love so very much
She'd written in her diary:
'Isn't there then nobody in the world for me?'
 
When she went, the party was just getting into full swing
But quite desperately she ran away into the night
She couldn't bear the joy of the others
And her hair got undone and seem to look
Like gold in the light
And her eyes gleamed for she had cried
And somehow something had happened to her
 
And she longed for love so very much
For a little warmth in her life
She always stood there sadly
No one saw the tears on her face
She longed for love so very much
She'd written in her diary:
'Isn't there then nobody in the world for me?'
 
She encountered someone at the door who was just as lonesome
And all of a sudden she didn't know anymore what happened to her / The much longed-for moment had arrived (?)
 
And she longed for love so very much
For a little warmth in her life
And then he came and had stayed with her
For he saw the tears in her face
She longed for love so very much
She'd written in her diary:
'There is somebody in the world for me!'

Sweet Cherries

I used to call you my Sweet Cherry,
When spring relieved the winter blues,
In vernal haze I met my fairy,
And angel gave us subtle cues.
 
In love you can reach sky with candor,
I carried you in bare arms
Through gardens where in youthful languor
Sweet cherries blossomed in the clouds.
 
[Chorus] (x2)
Sweet cherries blossomed in the clouds,
Sweet cherries blossomed...
Sweet cherries blossomed in the clouds
Above depraved world...
 
We lacked the room in blissful heaven,
To quiet garden we've come down,
And I've called you my bride, my blessing,
So long ago I let you down.
 
It all dissolved in vernal rain mist,
In rapid flow of endless days,
And only sweet taste of bird-cherries
In my fond memory remains.
 
[Chorus] (x6)

Clouds

Clouds drift above - snow white bands -
From the far away distant lands.
Oh, how splendid they are, high as dream
These white waves of the heavenly stream.
Clouds drift above - snow white bands
From the far away distant lands.
 
They keep floating in timeless realm,
And they call you to follow them.
Just how deep their slow current goes
Only mighty all-seeing God knows.
Clouds drift above - snow white bands -
From the far away distant lands.
 
Clouds drift above - snow white bands -
From the far away distant lands.
Oh, how splendid they are, high as dream
These white waves of the heavenly stream.
But how deep their great current goes
Only mighty all-seeing God knows.
Only... God...

Two Flowers

In my old crystal vase two spring flowers still stand:
Jasmine - white as a swan, yellow tulip - determined,
Bowing flowery heads over cut crystal glass,
As they whispered about you and me, softly murmured.
 
About sorrow and love they have whispered to me,
And to never forgive you they have ordered me.
White head wilted apace, but the yellow persisted -
Someone has found a friend, someone's waned in the distance.
 
White's the color of love,
Yellow is of betrayal.
Nights of tears are so long,
Nights of love's swiftly fading,
Swiftly fading.
(x2)
 
Nights of tears are so long,
Nights of love's swiftly fading,
Swiftly fading.
