Бриллиантовые дороги [Brilliantovye Dorogi] [English translation]

Take a look, how they shine,

Diamond ways in the night: they shimmer.

Have a listen to scrunch

Of all these Diamond ways: they glimmer.

Behold what kind of foot steps

Gods from Heavens leave on these ways.

Just to follow their path, you would need

Golden feet with your prayer,

To claw hold of the glass,

You'd need the diamond talons.

They burn above us, they glow,

Slowly clouding judgment,

Diamond ways in the night time darkness,

Making day not so urgent.

Look how narrow they are,

Diamond ways in the night: they shimmer.

We got squeezed by the vise

Of all these Diamond ways: they glimmer.

To behold their light,

We drank the bitter grass potions.

If a slip to abyss

Is avoided, then death comes from poison

On a diamond bridge,

Across bottomless black potholes.

They glide above us, they soar,

Slowly clouding judgment,

Diamond ways in the night time darkness,

Making day not so urgent.
