Blind Painter

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

Blue Suede Shoes

Well, its one for the money,
Two for the show,
Three to get ready,
Now go, cat, go.

Well, you can knock me down,
Step in my face,
Slander my name
All over the place.

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Dont you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

Bитас-Сердцебиение (Heartbeat)

Rain in 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

Through the Years

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

Angel Without Wing

I am returning to my childhood.
I see the days flying back.
I am breaking my heart,
It is painful to walk all alone.

I am like an angel without a wing.
Why did you hurt me?
Among the stars the flows of tears
Were blown away by the wind.

Though there are shivers on my skin,
My tears are glittering with light.
You should know I'll remain the same -
A pure angel from heaven.

I am like an angel without a wing.
Why did you hurt me?
Among the stars the flows of tears
Were blown away by the wind.

I am like an angel without a wing.
Why did you hurt me?
Among the stars the flows of tears
Were blown away by the wind.

The Speaking Doll

I am under the glass in a shop-window
Looking through the window on a rainy day
I never take my glassy eyes off that picture
Everyone just passes by but one little girl
Says: "What a sad toy!
Daddy, Daddy, please
Daddy, Daddy, please
Give me this doll, dear Daddy
Daddy, Daddy, please
Daddy, Daddy, please
Give me this doll, dear Daddy"

It was raining outside all night long
The winds were playing the chimney
I dreamed that father and daughter
Were taking me along to their home
In the morning my dream came true
Father and his little gaughter turned up again
"Daddy, Daddy, please
Daddy, Daddy, please
Give me this doll, dear Daddy
Daddy, Daddy, please
Daddy, Daddy, please
Give me this doll, dear Daddy"

Oh, I'm going to be happy now!
They'll take me along, my dreams came true
How nice it can be
When someone else needs you!
The girl is cheerfully laughing outside
This child has a simple reason to be happy
"Daddy has given
Daddy has given
Daddy has given me this doll!
Daddy has given
Daddy has given
Daddy has given me this doll!"

My God, How I Love!

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'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?

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"

Посвящение (Dedication)

Mime

Opera # 1

Translation of Lyrics
Opera No. 1
We always want more than we have
We always want more than we have
And anguish grasps our hearts
We stagger in an autumn wind
We are filled up with someone else's joy
Inflamed by someone else's feasts
Like sunshine on a glade
We draw our heads nearer over the tables

I'll embrace you, tipsy like separation
And take you in my arms
I won't share you, wild like abuse
Either with an enemy or a friend
It rarely happens to me like this
I will give you a bit of happiness
You will swing like light in the windows
And moths will rush towards your light

Птица Счастья (Bird of Happiness)

Translation of Lyrics
Bird of Happiness
The bird of happiness from tomorrow
Has come jingling her wings.
Will you choose me
Will you choose me
The bird of happiness from tomorrow?

There's so much silver in the starry sky!
Tomorrow will be better than yesterday
Better than yesterday
Better than yesterday
Tomorrow will be better than yesterday.

A guitar is ringing somewhere...
A trustworthy heart will keep its love
The heart will keep its love
And the bird of luck
Will fly away again.

Tomorrow's morning will come...
Someone else will be the first but not me
Someone else but not me
Someone else but not me
Will compose tomorrow's song.

There can be no dance without fire
And there is hope living in my heart...
Will you choose me
Will you choose me
The bird of happiness from tomorrow?

A guitar is ringing somewhere...
A trustworthy heart will keep its love
The heart will keep its love
And the bird of luck
Will fly away again.

A guitar is ringing somewhere...
A trustworthy heart will keep its love
The heart will keep its love
And the bird of luck
Will fly away again.

Byelorussia

Translation of Lyrics
Byelorussia
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!

Body

Translation of Lyrics
Body
And the beat goes on...

My body
Gently melts
Radiates light
Relaxes
My body
Like a wind
Blows dreams
Relaxes

My body
Like a drop
Fell down from the sky
And broke everything
My body
Flows down the window-panes
Studies love
Relaxes

Become my body
In a casual way
Become my body
Become!

Mama

Translation of Lyrics
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

Берега России (Shores of Russia)

Translation of Lyrics
Shores of Russia
An old orchard missing me at daybreak
Is dropping tears of golden dew.
I’m returning to my home
And I don’t want to live otherwise.

Getting tired of a foreign land
Incomprehensible and unfamiliar,
I’m returning to my home.
As always, I feel good at home.

In the morning sky a new day dawns.
You are my home and my shore, my Russia.
Wherever I go, while the Earth spins, I believe
That you, Russia, are my shore and my home.

If someone leaving his shelter
Finds happiness in a foreign land,
I send him my congratulations,
But my heart knows no laws.

In the morning sky a new day dawns.
You are my home and my shore, my Russia.
Wherever I go, while the Earth spins, I believe
That you, Russia, are my shore and my home.

Lucia Di Lammermoorr

Translation of Lyrics
Lucia Di Lammermoorr
The sweet sound
Of his voice I hear!
That voice
So deeply embedded in my heart!...
Ester! I'm yours again;
Ester! Ah! My Ester!
Yes, I'm yours again!
I've escaped from your enemies...

КРИКОМ ЖУРАВЛИНЫМ (Crane's Cry)

Translation of Lyrics
Crane's Cry
I meet your eyes,
We haven’t talked about love
For a long time already.
I shall tell you about it
With night rain,
And you, with the rustle of leaves.

I shall cry with a wedge of cranes:
“I love you!”
And shall answer with a head wind:
“I love you.”

No, I have enough words,
Like spring has enough flowers,
But no word can express
That of all luminaries that I loved,
Only the Moon can be compared to you.

I shall cry with a wedge of cranes:
“I love you!”
And shall answer with a head wind:
“I love you.”

Let winds, rains, and cry of bird flocks far away
Be our talking about love...

...And I shall answer with a head wind:
“I love you...”

Улыбнись (Smile)

Translation of Lyrics
Smile
Smile! If the rain outside the window won't stop...
Smile! If you failed to do something...
Smile! If happiness hid behind the clouds...
Smile! Even if your soul got slightly scratched...

Smile! And you'll see how everything changes...
Smile! The rain will stop and the ground will dress up in snow...
Smile! And your sorrow will pass by...
Smile! And then your soul will begin to live...

Оперная (Opera #2)

Translation of Lyrics
Opera No.2
My house has been built but I am alone here
The door banged behind my back
An autumn wind is knocking on the window
Crying over me all over again...
Thunderstorm at night and fog in the morning...
The sun has turned completely cold
Old pains are following one another
Let them all get together!

My house has been built but I am alone here
The door banged behind my back
An autumn wind is knocking on the window
Crying over me all over again...
This is Fate and I can't
Ask anything of Fate!
I just know how the winds
Will be wailing after I'm gone

Поцелуй Дпиною в Вечность (Kiss as Long as Eternity)

Translation of Lyrics
Kiss as Long as Eternity
A kiss as long as eternity...
I am building bridges to you
I know you hear me
I want to get closer to you.
Where are you?
The halves, parts of the world
Are very much like two parts of the Moon
Hard in reality? Let's do it virtually!
Internets...

A kiss, kiss of mine is flying to you
To the world's end, with December snow
A kiss, kiss of mine is flying to you
Catch it and save it
Don't forget that I'm with you, my love!

A kiss as long as eternity
Between autumn and spring...
So incidentally
At three o'clock in the night
It is near you
The halves, parts of the world...
I'd like your news come into your dreams.
Hard in reality? Let's do it virtually!
Internets...

A kiss, kiss of mine is flying to you
To the world's end, with December snow
A kiss, kiss of mine is flying to you
Catch it and save it
Don't forget that I'm with you, my love!

Зведа (The Star)

Translation of Lyrics
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!
