Я хочу быть с тобой [Ja hochu byt' s toboj] [English translation]

I attempted to flee from my love,

I would take a sharp razor

And straighten myself.

I would hide in a basement to slice up

Thin leather straps of my skin,

Constricting my weakening chest.

I wish I were with you,

I wish I were with you,

[How] I wish I could be with you,

I wish I were with you,

And I will be with you,

Stuck in the room where ceiling's white,

Never losing my hope,

Stuck in the room with city views,

Keeping faith in love.

Yes, I know that your name changed long ago,

Your eyes' color's gone,

Lost forever, I know.

Drunken doctor told me:

You're dead, you're no more,

A fireman gave me a paper

That your home had burned.

But I wish I were with you,

I wish I were with you,

[How] I wish I could be with you,

I wish I were with you,

And I will be with you,

Stuck in the room where ceiling's white,

Never losing my hope,

Stuck in the room with city views,

Keeping faith in love.

I was breaking glass,

Like a chocolate bar,

Was cutting all these fingers because they could not,

They couldn't touch your skin from afar.

And I looked at these faces

And I could not forgive

Them all, 'cause they didn't have you,

And therefore they could live.

But I wish I were with you,

I wish I were with you,

[How] I wish I could be with you,

I wish I were with you,

And I will be with you,

Stuck in the room where ceiling's white,

Never losing my hope,

Stuck in the room with city views,

Keeping faith in love.

Stuck in the room where ceiling's white,

Never losing my hope,

Stuck in the room with city views,

Keeping faith in love.
