Iceberg (Айсберг)

 

Like an icy cliff, an iceberg; it emerges from the fog,

And the current navigates it across the sea, across its course.

One is wise, who realizes just how dangerous an iceberg

Just how dangerous an iceberg is to wayfaring sailors.

 

REFRAIN:

But I, when I’m with you, forget about the world

And into love, a crater, I throw myself headfirst.

And you, you are so cold; an iceberg in the ocean,

And all, all of your sorrows are under black waters.

And all, all of your sorrows are under black waters.

 

Are you sorrow? Are you joy? Are you frozen? Are you melting?

Say, are you the gentle sun, or the white snow lying dead?

I am trying to decipher, tell me, please, who are you really?

Tell me, please, who are you really? You an iceberg or a man?

 

REFRAIN

 

Either stray right off my road or become my destiny

Just extend open arms towards me, just give me the right to hope

That my love, my love is able to melt all your frozen seas

That my love can melt this iceberg, melt this heart barren of love.

Just Three Happy Days (Три Счастливых Дня)

 

Just three happy days were all that I had

Were all that I had with you.

Didn’t expect them, I never called them,

They were what fate planned to do.

Thousands passed you by, but you recognized

My face and my voice among the crowd.

You were dear to me, I started to believe,

But destiny would not allow.

 

REFRAIN 1:

How to overcome this tremendous pain?

Separation is a tiny death.

Separation’s a long tread to the harbor,

Maybe there will come a day and I’ll see you again?

 

REFRAIN 2:

Where you are, there’s no me!

Where I am, there is

No place right next to me, my love, my dearest,

Where you are, there’s no me!

That is it. Farewell!

 

Soon, a rapid plane will take me away

To the ones whom I have grown to love

Circles of the past, and my loyal friend,

They’ll all welcome me back home.

But, three happy days are three fires ablaze

Three big fires ablaze on the shore

I will salvage them, clutch them to my chest,

Keep them forever in my soul.

 

REFRAIN 1 and 2

 

Just three happy days were all that I had

Were all that I had with you.

Please Ask Me to Come With You (Позови Меня с Собой)

Once again the wind of change, angry, appears
Takes you away
It won’t leave a shadow or trace as it flees
Won’t let me say
What if I had wanted to join and come with?
Like the yellow autumn leaves
Like birds follow a blue dream

REFRAIN:
Please ask me to come with you
I will walk through evil nights
I will set off after you
No matter where the path lies
I will meet you in the place
Where you draw suns in the sky
Where all of the shattered dreams
Gain the strength of elevation and take flight

For so long, I searched for you, year after year
Among the crowds
I thought you would stay with me eternally
But now you’re gone
Today, in the crowd you won’t recognize me
But, loving you as I did,
I decide to set you free.

REFRAIN

Every time the night comes and descends upon
This sleepy town
From this sleepless house I will flee and set off
Towards cold and sorrow
Among faceless dreams, all I search for is you
But as the new day comes to
I head back home without you

REFRAIN (2x)
