РадиоВьетнам [RadioVietnam] [English translation]

Now there's no need to fear

And it's easy to let go

When I was going crazy,

My art 1 saved me

Your world remained flat2

It's like scraps of dreams,

It's cut into straps

And sewn from rags

I don't believe in omens

But I see a good sign 3

And all the shards of light

Will be in my fist

I haven't got to know death yet,

Let's put off the meating with it

There's so much left to sing

RadioVietnam doesn't give up,

I won't let anyone take you

The help is just

About to come

It doesn't matter anymore

Where the ways have parted

But you cannot step twice

Into the same river.

I know it's uneasy

To accept my world as it is

My uknown island

Is uninhabited at all

I don't believe in omens

But I see a good sign

And all the shards of light

Will be in my fist

1. Literally "craft" or "occupation", but I'm quite sure that he's implicating his music here2. A possible hint at Pratchett's Discworld, "Плоский мир" or lit. "Flat world" in Russian translations3. I've separated these two meanings, although both "знак" and "примета" can be translated as "omen" here
