Ну вот, исчезла дрожь в руках [Nu vot , ischezla drozh' v rukah] [English translation]

My hands have stopped shaking now,

time to climb!

Now my fear has vanished

for ever and ever.

I have no reason to stop.

I glide forth...

There are no summits in this world

that can't be conquered!

Among all the unexplored paths

let one be mine,

among all the unreached milestones,

one is for me

The names of those who died here

are shrouded by snow...

Among all the untravelled roads,

one is mine.

Here the whole slope is covered in

blue ice,

And the granite keeps the secret

of other's footsteps...

And I'm looking at my dream

above heads

And I have a religious faith in the purity

of snow and words!

No matter how many years go by,

I won't forget

how I managed to kill the doubt inside me

right here.

That day the water whispered to me:

Good luck, always!

Now what day was it already?

Ah yes, Wednesday!
