Зеленоглазая душа [Zelenoglazaya dusha] [English translation]

Soul, tresses unbound and uncovered,

In what epoch did you awake?

What kind of feast were you in rush to

When calls of Heavens you ignored?

Whom did you search for in the darkness,

Whom did you desire and console,

Until you finally found in me

Your love, your anguish, and the host.

Oh soul, with the eyes like emeralds,

Also keep me in your embrace,

Don't let me go till the end, until -

While I still live and breathe.

Until there is but the golden wind,

In this world my only partner...

Oh, remain with me, oh stay with me,

Until the Lord wills us apart.

Don't cry, don't lament, and do not swear -

That is life - there's no other way.

To the past loss look with a smile -

What's in the past means little anyway.

It's not meant for the immortal you

To pine for the rush of a fleeting life

You'll fly away, but forever

Of this mortal me shall reminisce.

Oh soul, with the eyes like emeralds,

Also keep me in your embrace,

Don't let me go till the end, until -

While I still live and breathe.

Until there is but the golden wind,

In this world my only partner...
