Минбарский Снег [Minbarskiy Sneg] [English translation]

The lights of Minbari spaceships

Are quietly piercing the night sky.

Oh, how slowly they are moving

In the mist…

The war has been over long time ago,

But it left us

Bitter memories.

Oh, how advanced they’ve become,

Compared to us!..

Here, it has become

So clear to me!..

The madness went away as if everything had been just a dream,

But there’s still a moan of those days

In our memories!..

White Minbari snow is floating all around me,

This white cold snow

Doesn't melt.

And now there’s darkness springing upon the Earth again,

It is so far away from me

Now…

It’s been two hundred years

Since the wars on the Earth ended.

And we thought we’d never have them again,

Ever, anywhere.

But there’s such a great temptation for us

To search for enemies over and over,

With each and every step!

Somewhere is the interstellar haze,

There were rebellious Babylon and Mars

That was the very moment when the Earth tyrant

Understood everything.

But, now, the cornered beast

Is much stronger and more scarier

For everyone!..

White Minbari snow is floating all around me,

This white cold snow

Doesn't melt.

And now there’s darkness springing upon the Earth again,

But there’s still a glimmer

Of hope…

***

No, I can’t return any of those things

That happened to me on the Earth -

Everything has fallen asleep in silence

In the night.

And now there’s snow all over the Minbar again,

The same silver snow

That has greeted me here.

And the night is ending,

And the sunrise is waking everyone up,

And there’s a shine of two almost white

Suns.

It has touched the tops of antennae,

And another calm day

Has started…
