Так было [Tak bylo] [English translation]

Don't strangle me, release your grip

If not, my soul

Will die in anguish

Don't scream in haste

I'm not your enemy

And if only we could start all over

From a clean slate

But it's no longer so

Chorus (x2)

That's how it was, so much pain

Killing me quietly with every word

Shooting words

First at my heart, then at my soul

I don't need any more of that

Day after day I pray

Let heaven shelter me

I'll hide all the pain and sorrow

But you can't mask the pain in my eyes

I'll wipe my memory clean

For a while now I haven't trusted, haven't feared, haven't asked for anything

But withal my wounds live on

So much pain, no need

To live to see tomorrow

Can't you see that the sun has burnt out

And the world has collapsed around us

We're no longer side by side

We'd start it all over

And again go up and flames

But it's no longer so

But it's no longer so

Chorus(x2)

That's how it was, so much pain

Killing me quietly with every word

Shooting words

First at my heart, then at my soul

I don't need any more of that
