Оборвалось [Oborvalos] [English translation]

It snapped.

Suddenly and quickly. In the blink of an eye

Unjust. Ridiculous. Cruel.

Irrevocably and irreversibly.

So painful. So frightening. So rough. So sharply

Stab into the memory the steel scraps

So deep and mercilessly.

It snapped.

Like a movie at the most moving place.

The cord pulled out, the song stopped

In the middle of the sentence, halfway through the word.

Insane. Pitiless. Unbelievable

The fatal scenes are changing each other

Unbearable in the neverending repeat.

It snapped.

The shuddering world was disappearing slowly

The lines were erased, the walls were fading

And the contours of a different world were appearing.

And somewhere, with fear, they still were waiting.

With shaking fingers, clutching the phone

And typing still the same phone number.

It snapped.

So much was left unsaid.

So important, so varying

So more wonders could have surprised.

So many more big and small happinesses

Never felt. Never read.

Never warmed with the light of love.

It snapped.

So quietly the snow falls outside the window.

Everything seems terrifying, ridiculous, a dream.

And only the cars are still flying somewhere.

And two lonely birds have stiffened

In the frozen branches...
