Saint Petersbourg [English translation]
Saint Petersbourg [English translation]
In St Petersburg snow is falling
It's God grieving for the history of the world,
pearls falling, as if the bleeding sky
draped a white flag
over the red century
In St Petersburg snow is falling
to dress the wretched world in cotton
But the world that's the men,
the countries, the Gracious Gods
and the pearls that fall and brim over to your eyes
In St Petersburg the war was lost
Not the war of guns, the war of ideas
And there's the blonde Olga, the one they call Hope(1)
and the one who draws hopes from rebuilding the world(2)
a world of light and snow in summer
and winter sun and nights of love
To St Petersburg I know I'll never go
And the more I look at you(3) the more I know
that I love you, my princess, my elsewhere, my love
since soul is wealth in St Petersburg
In St Petersburg snow is falling
It's God crying the blood of the world(4)
And there's the blonde Olga, the one they call Hope
And the one who draws hopes from rebuilding the world
a world made of light and snow in summer
and winter sun and nights of love
