Никогда [Nikogda] [English translation]

I promise to return - never, never

When a short autumn burns with pale heavenly fire

When trains huddle together in the night against the cold

And should we happen to wake up, we'll never fall asleep

So give me air, and I'll become your wing

I'll give you the tempest, and the thunderstorm perhaps as well

Your time flows after me like molten glass

My dreams about you are left far below

Below, blizzards will wake, their air light and wild

And the waxwing will sing, like ice-cold water

I promise to return for what we haven't yet sung, my dear, what you won't learn from books

I promise to return to our personal never

This is no autumn drowsiness over an embossed book

These are dreams coming after us, dreams are out on a hunt

For a bear, for our parting, they have tightly strung bows

And a harpoon for a white night and a white whale

Come on, give me air, and i'll become your wing

I'll give you the tempest, and the thunderstorm perhaps as well

Your time flows after me like molten glass

My dreams about you are left far below

And before regaining consciousness, look - fear, like a rat

Jumps from your ship, almost without touching her sides

And you see blue Earth floating past

On the backs of cold, smooth, black whales

This is no autumn drowsiness -

Dreams are out on a hunt

For a bear, for our parting, they have tightly strung bows

And a harpoon for a white night and a white whale

Come on, give me air, and i'll become your wing

I'll give you the tempest, and the thunderstorm perhaps as well

Your time flows after me like molten glass

My dreams about you are left far below, behind my back

And before regaining consciousness, look - fear, like a rat

Jumps from your ship, almost without touching her sides

And you see blue Earth floating, floating past

On the backs of cold, smooth, black whales

And before regaining consciousness

I promise to return
