Шелкопряд [Shelkopryad] [English translation]

I got a modest invisible leaving,

So I just fill it up with some meaning

By spinning my delicate thread.

Here on this tree, we have so much in common -

Each of us is born by a silkworm

And spinning his delicate thread.

Just a drop - and a mighty river is flowing,

By a grain big mountains were growing.

The eternity must be so long...

All I wish is to be a drop in the sea -

Contribute to this tapestry.

Such is the fate of a silkworm.

Someone has been caught in a web of religions,

Someone's high on UFO visions,

I'm spinning my delicate thread.

Someone's ramming forward ignoring objections,

Someone's solving the Ultimate Question,

I'm spinning my delicate thread.

Just a drop - and a mighty river is flowing,

By a grain big mountains were growing.

The eternity must be so long...

All I wish is to be a drop in the sea -

Contribute to this tapestry.

Such is the fate of a silkworm.

All I make is a bit of silk

I have no other special skills.

Life is rushing by like a movie.

While using nothing but hands and some patience

We create this delicate fashion.

Reach your hand and you'll feel it's beauty.

Just a drop - and a mighty river is flowing,

By a grain big mountains were growing.

The eternity must be so long...

All I wish is to be a drop in the sea -

Contribute to this tapestry.

Such is the fate of a silkworm.

Just a drop - and a mighty river is flowing,

By a grain big mountains were growing.

The eternity must be so long...

All I wish is to be a drop in the sea -

Contribute to this tapestry.

Such is the fate of a silkworm.
