Шахерезада [Shakherezada] [English translation]

Shah, shah, padishah,

Your palace is beautiful.

Mirrors on the walls of your palace reflect marble,

But your heart is wounded.

Shah, shah, padishah,

Your clothes are luxurious,

There are so many dishes on your tables,

But there's bitterness in your heart.

Other people's fairytales don't help to dispel your unhappiness,

Neither do the bought caresses1.

You can only find paradise in your heart,

Burn!

I'm not Shahrazad,

I won't be telling you stories, words aren't needed.

There is no treasure more precious than love… Love!

Shah, shah, padishah,

The black velvet of the sky shows diamond stars,

But you are hiding your tears.

Shah, shah, padishah,

The sea is emerald, it's shining,

But your palace is worthless

If your heart cries.

Other people's fairytales don't help to dispel your unhappiness,

Neither do the bought caresses.

You can only find paradise in your heart,

Burn!
