The Star

So many times I asked myself

What for I was born into this world and grew up

And why the clouds float and rains pour

You shouldn't expect anything for yourself in this world

 

I would fly up to the clouds but I have no wings

That starlight lures me from afar

But it's hard to reach the star though the goal is close at hand

And I don't know if I 'll have enough strength for the throw

 

I'll wait just a little bit more

And then will get ready for my journey

Towards the Dream and Hope

Oh my star, please don't burn out, just wait!

 

How many paths do I have to go by?

How many peaks should I conquer to find my own self?

How long should I keep falling from the cliff?

How many times should I start from the beginning and is there any sense to it?

 

I'll wait just a little bit more

And then will get ready for my journey

Towards the Dream and Hope

Oh my star, please don't burn out, just wait!

 

Mama 

I can hardly put into words

Those feelings rooted deep in my soul

How can I explain it? At nights

I stay awake because of haunting thoughts

It's you, mum, I recall again and again

My dear, my sweet one, please forgive me

For I've always been so stubborn

Have been searching for hard ways

 

Forgive me, my dear, for parting with you

For my occasional letters

In my thoughts I kiss your hand

And your tightly pressed lips

 

I often cry when I remember

How I used to hurt you at times

Forgive me, my dear!

Forgive me with love for the last time

How much I failed to understand...

And I still have to understand so much!

It seems that I loved too little

If I failed to experience love...

 

Forgive me, my dear, for parting with you

For my occasional letters

In my thoughts I kiss your hand

And your tightly pressed lips

 

Your love is love without measure

Your hopes and dreams...

Forgive me for my impertinent manners

Which upset you so much

Now I know more about life

I managed to understand a lot of things

I remember all your care

Longing to embrace you.

 

Forgive me, my dear, for parting with you

For my occasional letters

In my thoughts I kiss your hand

And your tightly pressed lips

 

 

An Autumn Leaf

The world has broken up into thousands of pieces

Only emptiness was left in the eyes

My soul feels as if it were pricked by needles

Where did the Beauty disappear?

I am torn by melancholy

I am shattered to pieces

 

Like an autumn leaf in the wind

I'm playing a strange game

Like an autumn leaf in the wind

I'll erase myself from the memory

 

Scraps of incomprehensible thoughts

About someone who is very lonely

Are flowing around me in a stream

Striking me as if by electric discharge

I am torn by melancholy

I am shattered to pieces

 

Like an autumn leaf in the wind

I'm playing a strange game

Like an autumn leaf in the wind

I'll erase myself from the memory

 

Through The Years

I am thinking of you all the time

But to fulfill my obligation

I had to leave and you had to stay

We were separated by circumstances

You are far away and for many months

We haven't seen each other

But there will be no hard feelings

When we talk over the phone late at night

 

We are far away from each other

Like two planets up in the sky...

Miles of stinging anguish

Separate us...

Through the years and misfortunes

Through the storms and snowfalls

I remember your farewell gaze

 

I am so tired of feeling lonely

Listening to your voice over the wires

But I don't want anybody else

You are the best one in the world

 

We are far away from each other

Like two planets up in the sky...

Miles of stinging anguish

Separate us...

Through the years and misfortunes

Through the storms and snowfalls

I remember your farewell gaze

 

We are far away from each other

Like two planets up in the sky...

Miles of stinging anguish

Separate us...

Through the years and misfortunes

Through the storms and snowfalls

I remember your farewell gaze

 

 

The Birds Have Flown Away

When the lime-trees lose their leaves

Into an autumn's slanting sunset

The cranes will fly to the south

Through all the lament and sobbing...

There is an evening smoke

Creeping at an autumn day's sunset...

They fly losing feathers above their motherland

But still they cannot see me...

 

No matter that the birds have flown away

And a dull dawn is burning behind the window...

What we haven't yet finished singing

We'll sing to the end later...

 

It seems I can hear your ringing voice

You are young, you are in love...

My heart burst out into verses

Making me feel excited again...

The soul won't avoid being chased

Passion won't be satisfied

And the red horses are trying

To float slowly up in the sky...

 

No matter that the birds have flown away

And a dull dawn is burning behind the window...

What we haven't yet finished singing

We'll sing to the end later...

 

No matter that the birds have flown away

And a dull dawn is burning behind the window...

What we haven't yet finished singing

We'll sing to the end later...

 

 

Dedication

All vocalization

 

Starry River

A starry river of the sky...

Parting on the map...

I love you but for the time being

"Farewell" I say, "farewell"

I am the one who burns bridges

And I don't hear prayers

I am frightened to come down

To the ground from proud heights

 

In the age of sorrow and losses

We are both unhappy

The light of earthly icon-lamps may go out

But not the stars

We go away from ourselves

Into bad weather and growth

But the fate is determined

By the stars, by the stars

 

Even the starry ocean

Is unstable today

Our cosmic love affair

Is over, is over...

A starry river of the sky...

Parting on the map...

I love you but for the time being

"Farewell" I say, "farewell"

 

Those lucid eyes of yours

Are beautiful like stars

Days and voices may fade out

But not the stars...

A starry river of the sky...

Parting on the map...

I love you but for the time being

"Farewell" I say, "farewell"

 

My God, How Much I Love

 Who created you to cause trouble to me?

I got used to pain but I can't bear lies

Your lips are burning with intoxicating words

But love will freeze in your heart

 

My God, how much I love - I shout to the sky

But the winds blow my feelings off the face

Like a raven at night, I'll peck myself to death

Declaration of love is nothing but words, isn't it?

 

If it were not you who were sending me away

I could leave keeping unanswered love in my heart

But the Fate makes me come back again and again

Falling under the spell of your burning words

 

My God, how much I love - I shout to the sky

But the winds blow my feelings off the face

Like a raven at night, I'll peck myself to death

Declaration of love is nothing but words, isn't it?

 

 

Pigtails

My little girl, you are so beautiful

Before going to bed we read tales together

But the one I loved is not here any more

And I'll have to love you for both mum and dad

The happiness was left on our old photos

Our love used to be a big and true one

I'm glad that you have no memories of that coldness

And other people's voices in our dear home

 

In the morning I plait your pigtails

It became my habit and I mastered this skill

I'll have to learn much more myself

And then teach you what I've learned

 

My little girl, you are so beautiful

My caress is still quite enough for you

But soon you'll start asking questions

And perhaps you'll grow up quicker than others

Everything was split into "before" and "after"

Living without her won't be easy for us

And time widens the gap between us

But I have an angel with her features by my side

 

In the morning I plait your pigtails

It became my habit and I mastered this skill

I'll have to learn much more myself

And then teach you what I've learned

In the morning I plait your pigtails

It became my habit and I mastered this skill

I'll have to learn much more myself

And then teach you what I've learned

 

Even the Stars Will Look Like Letters

Your dear nestling flew away from you

But this decision was taken by Fate, not by me

And it turns out that you are left all alone

And keep on waiting for a letter from your son

 

And insomnia will knock at your door

Full of alarming thoughts as always

And then even stars outside the night window

Will look like letters to you

 

You will be telling my news again and again

To all your neighbors and friends

And your smile will shyly hide your sadness

Scratching in your soul every night like a kitten

 

And insomnia will knock at your door

Full of alarming thoughts as always

And then even stars outside the night window

Will look like letters to you

 

Please forgive me for adding grey colour to your hair

I am ready to apologize all my life

It is not songs that I dedicate to you

I am dedicating you my love

 

And insomnia will knock at your door

Full of alarming thoughts as always

And then even stars outside the night window

Will look like letters to you

 

Extraterrestrial Friend

Apart from those friends that surround me

There is a secret circle

Of my invisible unknown friends

I am someone's unknown friend, too

 

Apart from those enemies that you have around

There are a hundred gangs

Of my invisible unknown enemies

I am someone's unknown enemy, too

 

Apart from those planets without life

Some distant light may be flying to them

Millions of years from those invisible and unknown

Though loving and thinking planets

 

Maybe, there is no blood in their veins

And they are awarded prizes for loving

For a circle of invisible unknown friends

And fraternity of the existing worlds

 

Apart from those friends that surround me

Perhaps, there is an extraterrestrial friend

Of my invisible and unknown friends

I am their extraterrestrial friend, too...

Of my invisible and unknown friends...

I am someone's unknown friend, too...

 

 

Wait for a While

Somewhere far away in another country

Where no one remembers me any more

There I left my love

And now dream of it again and again

 

Somewhere far away in another land

Where you left your love

We see one and the same dream

And our hearts keep on beating in unison

 

Wait for a while and I'll find the way

I want to be with you as before

Wait for a while and I'll find the way

To link our two souls together

 

Somewhere far away in another country

Please keep thinking of me all the time

Don't be in a hurry to forget me

Our two souls became one, you know

 

Wait for a while and I'll find the way

I want to be with you as before

Wait for a while and I'll find the way

To link our two souls together
