Дыхание [Dykhanie] [English translation]

I barely wake up

Covered up in cold sweat

I barely wake up

Still nightmaring and scared

That the ocean

Flooded down our house

And the only people left alive are us

And that above us

Miles of water and waves

That above us

Whales are whacking their tails

That the air is

Becoming very scarce

I lay down in the dark

Listening to our own breathing

I’m listening to our own breathing

I could not have imagined both of us

To share together a single breathing

Breathe in

I am trying

To stop breathing at all

To give you some

Before we run out of

This precious substance

We could not value more

But you’re asleep and not knowing

That above us

Miles of water and waves

And that above us

Whales are whacking their tails

That the air is

Becoming very scarce

I lay down in the dark

Listening to our own breathing

I’m listening to our own breathing

I could not have imagined both of us

To share together a single breathing

Breathe in
