Есть только миг... [Est' tol'ko mig...] [English translation]

Everything in this storming world is a mirage.

There is only this moment – hold on to it.

There is only a moment between a past and a present

And it is called life.

Everlasting peace would not please your hart.

The everlasting peace is for gray pyramids,

But for a shooting star that is falling

There is only a moment, this blinding moment.

Let this world run through centuries,

But its ways are not always my ways.

What I value, what I risk in this world –

It is this moment – only this moment.

You are going to meet happiness and sorrow

But there is only this moment – hold on to it.

There is only a moment between a past and a present,

And it is called life.
