5. Ave Maria


6. The Cold World (Kholodniy mir)

The world around us is frozen
Like a lump of ice
And life is gone forever
The clouds in the sky got frozen
Within a moment
For ages to come
Only emptiness was everywhere
For a long time
And my dream got lost
In the emptiness

In this cold world
Thoughts got frozen up
And tears turned into ice
Blank people hide
Their cold eyes
From one another
In this cold world
Joy was forgotten
Only misfortune was left
The planet became smooth
There are empty towns
Everywhere

Night follows day
As it has always been
But you can't escape cold
Everybody got used
To the emptiness
Darkness and vanity
Nobody believes any more
That the warmth will come
The sun will become hot again
And melt the ice

In this cold world
Thoughts got frozen up
And tears turned into ice
Blank people hide
Their cold eyes
From one another
In this cold world
Joy was forgotten
Only misfortune was left
The planet became smooth
There are empty towns
Everywhere


7. The Island Of Sunken Ships (Ostrov zatonuvshikh korabley)

Weary posters will be washed away by rain
I feel like you are going to me
You want to be with me but I don't belong to anyone
You know, what I need now is an island of unearthly lights
You think that if I'm with you, I am yours
You know, I'm close and alien to everyone
You want to be with me but I don't belong to anyone
And my house is like an island of sunken ships

Please find my island of sunken ships
It got lost among the city lights
Let's get away and hide there for many years
Disappearing like ships flying up to the light

Everyday routine will absorb me
But to continue my interrupted flight
I will open the door of my soul for music to come in
Don't you knock on it, this sound causes pain
Weary posters will be washed away by rain
I feel you won't come any more
Here I am alone again, not belonging to anyone
And my house is like an island of sunken ships

Please find my island of sunken ships
It got lost among the city lights
Let's get away and hide there for many years
Disappearing like ships flying up to the light


8. Fantastic Dreams (Fantasticheckiye sny)

Soon I will turn into cold ice
A crystal of rare beauty
In my free falling
From unbelievable height
I will immerse my meteorite dreams into anabiosis
One day all fantastic dreams will come true

I am around you
I am here and there
Follow me with your eyes
I am a miracle, you know

Soon I will turn into simple steam
Or fog - it doesn't matter
Or, perhaps, I will flame up into fire
In a catastrophic movie
I will immerse my meteorite dreams into anabiosis
One day all fantastic dreams will come true

I am around you
I am here and there
Follow me with your eyes
I am a miracle, you know

Fan-fan-fan-fan-fan-fantastic dreams...
Dreams... Dreams... Dreams...


9. Good-bye

I am light in myself
I am darkness in myself
I am summer in myself
I am winter in myself
I live on the stars
Where the sky ends
And up from there
I wisper: 'good-bye"

Good-good-good-good-good-good-bye-bye-bye...

I walk on the stars
Of the Milky Way
I can leave the world
Or I can save it
I live on the stars
Where the sky ends
And up from there
I'll wisper: "good-bye"

Good-good-good-good-good-good-bye-bye-bye...


10. Happiness (Schast'ye)

Happiness - here it is
Here it is - happiness
Happiness - here it is
Here it is - happiness

To enjoy lige together
Never to part
To fall asleep and wake up
And smile to each other

Happiness - here it is
Here it is - happiness
Happiness - here it is
Here it is - happiness

To call you my darling
Sweet, one and only
To look into your eyes
Live and die together

Happiness... Happiness... Happiness...


11. The Chrysanthemums Have Faded (Otsveli khrizantemy)

In the garden where I met you
Your favourite shrub of chrysanthemums burst into bloom
And in my soul a bright feeling
Of tender love came into blossom

The chrysanthemums in the garden faded long ago
But the love is still alive in my aching heart

Our garden is abandoned and you are gone
I am strolling alone totally worn out
And tears suddenly run down my face
When I come near the faded shrub of chrysanthemums

The chrysanthemums in the garden faded long ago
But the love is still alive in my aching heart

In the garden where I met you
Your favourite shrub of chrysanthemums burst into bloom
And in my soul a bright feeling
Of tender love came into blossom

The chrysanthemums in the garden faded long ago
But the love is still alive in my aching heart


12. Rain in Tbilisi (Dozhd' v Tbilisi)

It's raining in Tbilisi and a white Zhiguli car
Is floating down the road like a ship
It looks like I am happy as a child
Because I am loved by you whom I love as well

It's raining in Tbilisi. Chopping the firmament
A sudden thunder's flying like a crane
I wish you could hear it, my dear
'Cause it's telling everyone that I love you

It's raining in Tbilisi. I am dressed in rain
Flaunting my attire like a king
I am sad because you are not by my side
But even far away you should know that I love you

It's raining in Tbilisi, a blind downpour of May
I am catching it with my mouth as if I were drunk
And like you, it's kissing and embracing me
Coming to realize that I truely love you

Unfulfilled dreams are all I have at the moment
God bless the day when you and I
Will come to this land blessed by us
And enter Tbilisi's rain like a temple


13. Blind Artist (Slepoy khudozhnik)

He is so fatally lone like a sail on the sea
To be born blind - what a misfortune!
He never left his house for fear of falling
And still he didn't take offence at his fate
There was one consolation in his existence
Strange though it may seem, he found himself in painting
He painted still life and landscapes
Without even seeing his works

Having no idea of colour
The blind artist paints summer during a cold winter
The blind artist is unable to see paints
But all his pictures look like fairy-tales

His soul's cry was bursting out in his canvases
Everybody saw in them something personal and wondered
How one, unacquainted with love, could paint happiness
And put bloody hell next door to heaven

Having no idea of colour
The blind artist paints summer during a cold winter
The blind artist is unable to see paints
But all his pictures look like fairy-tales


14. My Dear Music (Milaya muzyka)

Your Majesty dear music
Please forgive my loving you
Your Majesty dear music
Will you speak - and I will keep silent

Your Majesty dear music
Please forgive my being silent for too long
Your Majesty dear music
Will you play it - and I will sing for you

Your Majesty dear music
Now let's keep silence together


15. Byelorussia (Belorussiya)

A white stork is flying
Above the whitish woodlands
A Byelorussian tune is heard
In the song of heather and brittle willows
This land accepted it all
Care, and caress, and flame
The sky was blazing above the earth
Like a crimson banner

Byelorussia, my youthfulness!
A partisans' song... Pine-trees and fog...
A partisans' song... Scarlet daybreak...
Byelorussia, my youthfulness!

Our memory follows
The forest path of the partisans
These paths are not forgotten
In the people's fate
Every heart still aches
From the pain of those bygone years
The little children of Hotyn
Cry in every our family

Byelorussia, my youthfulness!
A partisans' song... Pine-trees and fog...
A partisans' song... Scarlet daybreak...
Byelorussia, my youthfulness!

A white stork is flying
Above the woodlands and quiet stubble-fields
Somewhere in the swamps
A cooling thunder is buried
The white stork keeps on flying
Above our native fields
Overshadowing the land of our love
With its big wings

Byelorussia, my youthfulness!
A partisans' song... Pine-trees and fog...
A partisans' song... Scarlet daybreak...
Byelorussia, my youthfulness!
Byelorussia, my youthfulness!
A partisans' song... Pine-trees and fog...
A partisans' song... Scarlet daybreak...
Byelorussia, my youthfulness!


16. See You Later (Do svidan'ya)

Thank you, my friends, for this evening
I've been waiting for it impatiently
But the time has flown unnoticed
And we have to part now

See you later, see you later...
May good luck accompany you!
See you later, see you later...
I will leave but I'll give you my warmth

Thank you for your understanding
For your support and warmth
I'm just telling you "see you later"
And wish you to be lucky all the time

See you later, see you later...
May good luck accompany you!
See you later, see you later...
I will leave but I'll give you my warmth
