Признание [Priznaniye] [English translation]

Let love be my killer

The heart is not afraid

If it is waiting for love.

All the same,

It cannot escape

What must happen.

That which will happen anyway

It is destined.

I am waiting for this gentle blow

And I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid:

I am being given a generous gift-

On my neck there’s a hint of bloody beads.

The remnants of the cold blade

As the dawn glows pink

Like a red coral bracelet

My goodbye present!

I’ve been waiting for so many years,

That I’m not hurt.

Let love be my killer

The heart is not afraid if it is waiting for love…

All the same

It cannot escape

What must happen,

That which will happen anyway.

It is destined.
