The lights of Minbari spaceships
Are quietly piercing the night sky.
Oh, how slowly they are moving
In the mist…
The war has been over long time ago,
But it left us
Bitter memories.
Oh, how advanced they’ve become,
Compared to us!..
Here, it has become
So clear to me!..
The madness went away as if everything had been just a dream,
But there’s still a moan of those days
In our memories!..
White Minbari snow is floating all around me,
This white cold snow
Doesn't melt.
And now there’s darkness springing upon the Earth again,
It is so far away from me
Now…
It’s been two hundred years
Since the wars on the Earth ended.
And we thought we’d never have them again,
Ever, anywhere.
But there’s such a great temptation for us
To search for enemies over and over,
With each and every step!
Somewhere is the interstellar haze,
There were rebellious Babylon and Mars
That was the very moment when the Earth tyrant
Understood everything.
But, now, the cornered beast
Is much stronger and more scarier
For everyone!..
White Minbari snow is floating all around me,
This white cold snow
Doesn't melt.
And now there’s darkness springing upon the Earth again,
But there’s still a glimmer
Of hope…
***
No, I can’t return any of those things
That happened to me on the Earth -
Everything has fallen asleep in silence
In the night.
And now there’s snow all over the Minbar again,
The same silver snow
That has greeted me here.
And the night is ending,
And the sunrise is waking everyone up,
And there’s a shine of two almost white
Suns.
It has touched the tops of antennae,
And another calm day
Has started…
