До свиданья, время…

One angel in the sun, another in the rain
One's singing songs of fun, another — songs of pain
One's strumming his guitar, another looks askew
Guess what? They both are just singing songs of you
Two angels stand apart, the somber one — behind
One singing from my heart, another — from my mind
One singing from inside, another from above
That's funny they are both singing of my love
There's not a blinking eye, and anyone can see
Me dance between the sky and the darker sides of me
I can't conceal my love behind unspoken words
And playing for a laugh I tear my vocal cords
How silly not to try and feel immortal love
Two angels stopped to sing and laughing from above
One angel in the sun, another in the rain
One's singing songs of fun, another — songs of pain

Falling in love, it is so easy
Cupids above seem very busy
Aiming my heart — pure emotion
Isn't it hard, missing an ocean?
Do you believe your live makes sense without love?
Weapons of love are so easy
Cupids above stay very busy

There is celestial music that's pouring in my door
It sounds so amusing like I've never herd before
But who for? What for?
It gives me tricky feeling that the world is strictly just
That love is so appealing and my heart is full of trust
But who for? What for?
What for this happy feeling seems to bear so much truth?
Unwrapping and unreeling webs of everlasting youth
The picture so unreal as I've never seen before
The sounds so appealing as I've never heard of
Who is that silly angel who is playing from a score?
Who's squandering the treasures unknown heretofore
Who for? What for?
Is this celestial music important to my heart?
Will it be so useful? Won't it tear me apart?
Who for? What for?

There's lots of days and no tomorrow
Your handsome face — a scene of sorrow
Where all the dreams become unreal
Where there is love no more
While I'm exciting, while you're alive
Forget the fighting, start making love
Let all the world go all to pieces
My lips are always full of lies and kisses
Stop all the talking, start making sense
Our hips are rocking in our final dance
Don't memorize by heart my number
There will be love no more
Your voice and eyes are full of vows
Their mesmerize me. I can hear but vowels
There are no words but only sounds
Where there is love no more

There's a migratory nation
With no point of destination
Like a huge hallucination
In a vacant town
I am like an apparition
Carrying no apparent mission
Like a walking admonition
In my wedding gown
Looking for imaginary love
Everyone is transitory
In a sad and boring story
Begging for a blaze of glory
In a vacant town
I am like an apparition
Carrying no apparent mission
Like a walking admonition
In my wedding gown

Every day I think it's funny
Look from any point of view
There's no fame, nor brains, nor money
Doesn't that mean that maybe I love you?
I'm in love with you
No matter what happens
You and I are bent together
In the whirl of our dance
At the end of every tether
There's a world of anguish when the music ends

I am not angel but I'm trying
Flying when I know you're lying
Then I'm falling down and dying
And I'm doing that for you, I'm doing that for you
Dying is not true when it's for the love of you
I am not angel but I'm trying
Not to wear you out with crying
Then one day you'll see my flying far away
I'll be doing that for you

I wrote a song about love
With very ordinary love
With very ordinary chords
With fluctuation and punctuation
And very simple words
There are some words about sun
There are some worlds of morning dew
Of admiration and adoration
But none about you
I've tried all even some Cyrillic
But you don't fit into any lyric
If there're words of love and devotion
You don't rhyme with the very notion
I've written all too many songs
With very simple harmony
Of admiration and adoration
But none of you and me
I've tried all stanzas, rhythms and beats
I've tried all kinds and foreign words
Imagination, hallucination
But nothing ever works

As I walk very happy toward
The center of the capital
Eyes are shining, ears are tingling
All the air full of emotion
As I hum a simple tune, it is
Filling up with opportunities
I am happy and I'm giggling
My entire mind is pure commotion
Let them say
The sky here is always gray
The streets are in disarray
And Moscow is a very dangerous town
Every day
Feels like you stage a play
Where you can't replay
Where you can never let all them down
Every curve, every ornament
Looks so weak, so impermanent
But it's not all adornment
That refills my heart with emotion
As I walk very happy toward
The center of the capital
Every girl smiles so happily
And that's what really sets me in motion

So that not to spoil the party
We are drifting in our dance
Our smiles are not so hearty
Our longing — not intense
In the midst of other dancers
We have stuck to our parts
In a play that's got no answers
Only sadness to the hearts
All around us gold and tinsel
And all the rest are waltzing gladly
Why the host has never told us —
In the end it hurts so badly
With the movements of a mantis
We will freeze in our bluff
In the heart, however faintest,
There's the faith in our love
That the bliss is not unlikely
You have only to be true
A dishaertened ugly duckling
I am saddened over you
