Miracle (Чудо)

 

Run away, but take me with!

I want to go where you are breathing.

Oh, this winter’s been so wet

Through the rain you cannot hear me screaming.

I was postponing my days,

I was swimming in the clouds, and so on.

Tell me, if you’re my shadow,

Then where is it that at night you’re going?

 

REFRAIN:

You can

Be strong as a gorilla *

You can drink tequila

You can wait for morning and I will keep on going

Choosing my own sun,

Opening my eyes,

Yes, I will do it all; choose my own miracles.

Oh, oh, yeah. Oh, oh, yeah.

Yes, I will do it all; choose my own miracles.

 

Thief, you stole all of my warmth,

And you stole all my remaining air

But if I cried up a storm

It would just show you that I still care.

Don’t you know I won’t come back?

Don’t you know that I have too much pride?

Things will always be my way,

May be news for you, but I decide!

 

REFRAIN (2x)

 

*This original line translates “you can handle force/strength” but I couldn’t restrain myself in the translation here because the gorilla fits perfectly with the rhyme, and I love the metaphor. This is the only line that is not an exact translation from the original.
