Небо в алмазах [Nebo v almazakh] [English translation]

Where have you been for all these days and weeks, where a vine has shown the way,

Who has been warming your stone frozen heart

I know, during the great lamentation the eyes stayed dry

The eyes of those who called us when we were in our homes and who promised us immortality

God gave us the poppy blossom, gave us gunpowder, gave us the name - one for both

And swaddled us in patterns of cast-iron fences

And it's gotten bright like it is when a verse is born in the very heart's depth

And someone talks of someone with love

Cotton and flax

How many years have passed - the same light shines out of the magic eye

The name of names

We look at each other, and there is the whole sky in diamonds over us

So where have you been - I've packed all the weapons into the holeyest bag

And brought it out to there where people still believe in superstitions

Here even children can breathe in this powder white as snow

And breathe onto the windows glass and write that there is no way out

Cotton and flax

How many years have passed - the same light out of the magic eye

Name of the names

We look at each other, and there is the sky in diamonds over us

The whole sky is in diamonds, the sky in diamonds
