soliloquy:
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...

sing:
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


3. An Autumn Leaf (List osenniy)

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


4. Through The Years (Cherez gody)

I am thinking of you all the time
But to fulfil 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


5. The Birds Have Flown Away (Ptitsy uleteli)

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...

6. Dedication (Posvyascheniye)


7. Starry River (Zvyozdnaya reka)

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"


8. My God, How Much I Love (Bozhe, kak ya lyublyu)

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's gonna 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?


9. Pigtails (Kosichki)

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


10. Even Stars Will Look Like Letters /Insomnia (Dazhe zvyozdy pokazhutsya pis'mami)

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 neighbours 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


11. Extraterrestrial Friend (Inoplanetniy drug)

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...


12. Wait For A While (Podozhdi nemnogo)

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
