Не улетай ввысь [Ne uletay vvysʹ] [English translation]

Don't fly away into the sky.

Don't disappear into the distance.

At least come to me in my dreams—

Sting me with that tender sorrow.

The arrow of darkness will strike me.

It will pry a scream out of my hands.

Don't go away like that,

Don't disappear so suddenly.

The chimes of the words of truth *

Will drown out the delirium.

I am guarding a dream

In a place where there is no you.

Don't fly away: just know—

The world is empty without you.

Even the beloved Paradise

Can't bring the feelings to life.

Deep in the woods of time,

A burning flame will be dying down.

A place where there is no you

Is not where I want to be.

Don't fly away into the sky.

Don't disappear into the distance.

At least come to me in my dreams—

Sting me with that tender sorrow…

Don't fly away into the sky.

Don't disappear into the distance.

Don't fly away,

Don't fly away,

Don't fly away…
