Когда я устану жить [Kogda ya ustanu zhitʹ] [English translation]

When I get tired of living,

When I get tired of singing,

To yourself tightly tie me,

Warmth to my own heart granting.

When I get tired of singing,

When wings are no longer flying,

To avoid foolishly dying,

Allow me to keep yearning.

Let me give you comfort,

Let me show my devotion,

When I get tired of singing,

When I get tired of swimming

Towards the uncharted lands

And before unseen coastlines,

Allow me, my darling love,

To come ashore to your lips,

Under your wing to find a place,

Neither to hurry nor weep,

But, so my sun would rise

And to the depth of your soul seep.
