Перекресток [Perekrestok] [English translation]

You left early this morning, a lil’ after six

You left early this morning, to somewhere a lil’ after six

Dressed quietly, watching the clock

Scribbling “I’m sorry” on a pack of L&Ms 1

A few strands of hair lay on the pillow

A few strands of blond hair lay on the pillow

And almost mechanically, what you said, bassist

I begin to wrap the hair around my finger, wondering whose name is last in the alphabet

Whose life is a boogie-woogie, and whose life is complete nonsense

Whose life is a boogie-woogie, well, at least my life is nonsense

Half-drunk beer, empty mosquitoes

Overlooking sleep, didn't see the hit

I was looking for you here and there, and I thought I was going crazy

I was looking for you here and there, and I thought I was going crazy

Oh guitar and strings, the holy alliance

When love throws down, the blues begins

When love throws down, the blues begins

When love throws down, the blues stays
