Город, стоящий у солнца [Gorod, stoyashchiy u solntsa] [English translation]

Travellers, who are gone astray,

Not strangers on their lands,

But drifters and exiles

In someone’s cruel game.

Having bowed to four winds,

They went to all four sides.

Wolves became our sworn enemies -

Wolves and black crows.

All paths are footworn long ago,

Whether to God, whether from him.

And if we are already forsaken by him,

We’ll never get home.

There’re ruines and crosses, left behind,

Life and death – it’s a vicious loop.

And even if we aren’t cursed,

Earth moans because of us.

[Chorus:]

If only we’d get home,

To the city of amber light

Through deserts, ice and fire,

Through falls and pain.

If only we’d return back home,

To the city standing by the Sun.

To the city, where faith, hope and love

Shall welcome us.

Pure and sinful ones

Went to themselves down the same road.

But deaf and blinded ones

Followed their own paths.

Travellers, who are gone astray,

Not strangers on their lands,

But drifters and exiles

Who went, obeying the fate...

[Chorus:]

If only we’d get home,

To the city of amber light

Through deserts, ice and fire,

Through falls and pain.

If only we’d return back home,

To the city standing by the Sun.

To the city, where faith, hope and love

Shall welcome us.

Solo

[Chorus: 2x]

If only we’d get home,

To the city of amber light

Through deserts, ice and fire,

Through falls and pain.

If only we’d return back home,

To the city standing by the Sun.

To the city, where faith, hope and love

Shall welcome us.
