Хвиля [Khvylja] [English translation]

I.

For you - to the core, for me - halfway.

For you - to tears, but for me

Your embraces are confining.

I already forgot how we

Used to carry the sea by hearts

Read poems by the eyes

Gathered flowers, but now

All is emptied - as if erased by someone

Refrain.

Don't hold the wave on the sand

And in it, don't hide your soul.

As it is, the sea will take it all,

Yet another wave will flow.

We couldn't stop not one,

And maybe we didn't want to.

As it is, the sea will take it all

Without any regard to how we loved.

II

Whether we wanted this or not,

Those verses in the deep lie now

And by a wave, just for just a moment,

Sometime they'd surface.

And speak inside the head

The simple words in loneliness,

And dear eyes that then

Begged me "don't leave."

Refrain 2x.
