Дорога домой [Doroga domoj] [English translation]

Freezing touches of pain like a hand in my heart

When the body and home are apart

The cup’s half empty, there’s no more to life,

Still as a painting, my soul’s turned to ice.

Chorus:

There is no freedom for the bird

Not in the sky nor on the earth,

Not in the stars nor in the sea,

Tell me, what could the answer be?

What’s wrong with me?

But I’m returning home,

To the pain and heart of mine,

I’m returning home

Through flaming roads!

I’m returning home

Through the stars to peace of mind,

I’m returning home

Open the doors!

All is mine…

The horizon is covered in blankets of light,

Strange flashes of color break up the night.

The cloud that’s hanging is dark over me

Knowing where I am a stranger I’ll be.

[Chorus]

I’ll go in to temples of light-

Where deathless candles don’t fade with the night,

The power there is healing my soul,

I understand now where I’ll go.

Though the goal is nearby,

I’ve come such a long way,

May the dream never fade!

It only took minutes, it may have been years,

Now and forever the pain disappeared.

I travel endlessly on such a long road,

No matter what it takes, I’m going home!

[Chorus]
