День первый [Den' pervyj] [English translation]
День первый [Den' pervyj] [English translation]
There was a first day, and birds took off right from your hands
There's a scent of walnuts in the air
Wind was afraid to touch your lips
And noontime lasted more than ever*
You said a word and I felt like it came to life
And not far from us in the shadow
She smiled at us as if we were kids
And then, all the houses casting shadows at your feet invited you in
And every mistress of her house lit candles inside, calling for you
And you felt a shiver, shaking like a compass needle,
As you looked into those eyes
And they all were ready to be your target when you shot
Even though they didn't know what you saw in their faces
But they kept waiting for your word,
Hoping to hear it once again
Someone who loves you keeps silence - now you've become wiser than them
And visions of the dead expect to get free from the underworld
But you will hardly ever let them out
And jugglers in the market-place count your hours
But no one can tell you what you need to know
How could you make her smile again?
