Пока горит свеча [Poka gorit svecha] [English translation]

There are days when you give up

There are no words, no music, no energy left.

I was not myself on those days

And never asked anyone for help.

And I wanted to run for the hills,

To lock my house and to never find the key,

But I believed that nothing was completely lost

While there is light, while the candle is still burning.

And nobody could make me sing,

Silence is the beginning of all beginnings,

But if a song can straighten my shoulders,

How difficult it will be to silence me.

And even though I don't have many days left,

And it's snowing, and my blood is not warm,

I will start all over again for the 100th time,

While there is light, while the candle is still burning.
