The author's own translation. The song is sung in: ru.
Dedicated to the earthquake in Lisbon on 26.08.2024
With a trembling hand, I hold the pen,
Slowly in beat, I write again.
Let it fly high, no boundaries faced,
Heartbeats loud, no return to trace.
Chorus
I see the sky up above me here,
Stars below me, sparkling clear.
Whispers soft all around, everywhere,
Life can’t be split beyond repair.
Bridge
Now and then, all’s in the past,
Here and there - never to last.
Days and weeks already count down,
Our world tense like us, waiting round.
The dawn’s shape still blurred and gray,
We’re apart, drifting away.
The planet trembles, the waves collide,
Washing the dirt from all sides.
The air is charged, it’s buzzing loud,
No strength left, breaking free somehow.
Spoken
Despite all this pain, may joy come into our lives.
The joy of a simple day, to live all that the world brings to us,
In acceptance and awareness - there is nothing we cannot face together.
Without breaking ourselves, each other, or the planet that shelters us.
