Моей звезде [Moej zvezde] [English translation]

My star ain't destined to partake

The warmth, unlike us, base and mortal;

For us there's home with lighted portal,

Just bitter wine is her keepsake;

Her bitter fate is not renowned -

To burn when flames engulf the city;

Just one boy would say: What a pity,

Behold, a star is falling down!

My star was never meant to find

Her peace or to exhaust her life force;

She does not know what soul repose is,

Although she thinks so; never mind.

In her night dreams she's bound to see

That house, bypassed by all misfortunes,

(When she's awake, she'll do her sky turns)

And bitter smoke, and bitter tea...
