Держи Меня Земля [Derzhi Menya Zemlya] [English translation]

I'm begging you with my whole heart, stay

At least for a couple of seconds

I'll cover you with laces, wash your feet

Off a strange road

I keep on asking only,

Touch me lightly

And I am wholly yours

And I am eternally yours

Hold me, Earth, I'll pour out my grievance

Like a volcano

Hold me, Earth, I'll knock my bare heels

Bloody until I run to you

Run to you

My slanting eyes,

Ah, are shedding sharp tears

Upon your dry hands

They are scratching my cheeks with their salt,

Your voice is in my ears, ah, sonorous

And is calling me wherever you go

Me — wherever you go

Hold me, Earth,

I'll grow up

I'll handle it, and will be

Kissing his hands

Hold me, Earth,

I will breathe his odour in

And hold my breath

Hold me, Earth,

Oh, he drained me to the dregs

But I did not take a drop

In return

Hold me, Earth,

Oh give me strength,

Ressurect His presence

His presence

His presence
