На чужбине (in translation)

Из-за синих гор, полыхнув огнём,
Плывёт тёмных туч гряда.
Никого у меня нет в краю родном:
Я здесь сирота одна.

Ах, скоро ль придёт час желанный мой,
И сердце уснёт, и сердце уснёт.
И лес, шумя, будет в дрёме петь надо мной,
В дрёме петь надо мной,
И все забудут меня...

In der Fremde (Original)

Aus der Heimat hinter den Blitzen rot
Da kommen die Wolken her,
Aber Vater und Mutter sind lange tot,
Es kennt mich dort keiner mehr.

Wie bald, wie bald kommt die stille Zeit,
Da ruhe ich auch, und über mir
Rauschet die schöne Waldeinsamkeit
Und keiner mehr kennt mich auch hier.

Не говори, что сердцу больно
От ран чужих;
Что слезы катятся невольно
Из глаз твоих!

Будь молчалива, как могилы,
Кто ни страдай,
И за невинных Бога силы
Не призывай!

Твоей души святые звуки,
Твой детский бред –
Перетолкует все от скуки
Безбожный свет.

Твоей души святые звуки,
Твой детский бред –
Перетолкует все от скуки
Безбожный свет,
Безбожный свет.

Natalya Romashina - Не говори, что сердцу больно

P.I. Tchaikovsky. "My Little Garden" from the "Sixteen Songs for Children", Op. 54/4 were written in 1880. For High Voice
Text: Aleksey Pleshcheyev, 1858

Voice: Natalya Romashina
Piano: S. Kitaeva

My Little Garden

How fresh and green my garden is!
The lilac is in full bloom:
Fragrant bird-cherry
And curly lindens give it shade...

True, it has no pale lilies
Or imposing dahlias,
And motley are the flowers
Atop the single poppy.

And a plain sunflower at the entrance,
Like a faithful sentry,
Stands guarding the path
Overgrown with grass...

But I love my humble garden:
It's dearer to my soul
Than gloomy urban parks
With their network of straight paths.

And all day long in the tall grass
I could gladly lie and listen
To the bees busy at their work,
Buzzing around the cherry blossoms.

Lyrics (English Translation): 
Voyna Serdtsa / War of the Heart

Wet stone... On the bended knee,
He looks at watch and smokes nervously.
Breathing stops, to remember faithfully,
He is afraid of the moment of a void
Trembling, he writes someone's name on the back side of the hand...
And time is getting on, it takes away the pain and joy,
Slips and changes everything around.
It seemed to him that there was only tiredness
Of the eternal damnations overwhelmed him...

Smoking cigarettes is his evening award
Friends had left him, he didn't know any consolation,
All that he wanted to hear from them was a complete nonsense,
And even the best friend suddenly interrupted the long conversation...

Darkness... disappeared the colours of the day...
He doesn't see them for a long time,
He only holds to heart  the hand with someone's name
And he had forgot the words of the prayer before...
That one whose name is now in his hand...

From now on, you are subordinate to the dictates of fear,
You are besieged by visions of the war,
And your mind is blinded by terror,
You stay a prisoner of a thunderstorm...

From heartbeat, don't drive echo out,
Someday it will heal the wounds
It will give its gift to the Destiny's Criminals
And will protect against the fatal tyrants!

And time is getting on ... carries away the pain and joy ...
	And time is getting on ... carries away the pain and joy ...
	And time... is getting on ...
Pain ... and joy ...

Voice: Natalya Romashina
Piano: S. Kitaeva

МОРСКАЯ ЦАРЕВНА

Приди ко мне ночной порой,
О путник молодой.
Здесь под водой
И прохлада и покой.

Ты здесь отдохнешь,
Ты сладко заснешь,
Качаясь на зыбких водах,
Где, неги полна,
Лишь дремлет волна
В пустынных берегах.

По зыби морской
Сама за тобой
Царевна морская плывет.
Она манит, она поет,
К себе тебя зовет.

Lyrics (English Translation): 
Enlightening Secrecy

Black waves in the eyes
Will cover with a pall the numbers and dates.
The seated man stubbornly with wet fingers
Enumerates the "faces".

Surname, name are passing by,
Not finding the answer.
Knocking on closed doors again
To say goodbye? Break down? Where are you?!

The lines of strangers, silent words
No tenderness, no anger, no will!
No sound, no color, no harmony!
Where are you?!

Echoes, stars, planets...
It's difficult to breathe! (There is) No light!
New faces, lives, dawns...
Where are you?!

Finding no answer,
Wearily the rebellious heart,
Seeking the solace in strangers...
But moaning, crying: "Where are you?!"

And not looking back,
You'll go your own way!
Maybe you'll reach the heaven,
Or maybe you'll go to hell - I don't argue.

Hope destroys the fear,
Not making the dreams a reality,
You turn the soul into dust,
And life goes on in a falsehood.

Your look no longer the directs forward,
You are not here as "before."
All as all, and your success
Compares with the rhythm of waltz...

Black waves in the eyes
Will cover with a pall the numbers and dates.
The seated man stubbornly with wet fingers
Enumerates the "faces".

Surname, name are passing by,
Not finding the answer.
Knocking on closed doors again
To say goodbye? Break down? Where are you?!

Lyrics:
Per Aspera Ad Astra

Between two worlds
There is a way
To stars, through thorns
With flows, with seething flows
We run away
To rise again tomorrows

Between two worlds
Per aspera ad astra
To stars, through thorns
We run away
To rise again tomorrows

Per aspera ad astra
Per aspera ad astra
Surgere cras
Oriri cras
Per aspera ad astra

Per aspera ad astra
Per ardua ad astra
Surgere cras
Oriri cras
Per aspera ad astra
Через тернии к звёздам

Lyrics (in Russian):
Zatvornik

Вращающийся мир вокруг
Является прощением.
Проходя путь Света во Тьме,
Не чувствуешь больше сопротивления.

Бредёшь по ржавой пустыни,
Исследуя грани самоцветов,
Не находя в них ответа, отступаешь назад,
Облачаясь в призрачный облик.

Сколько масок нужно примерить,
Скитаясь по мировой паутине?
Сколько загадок выучить,
Добираясь до Центра Вселенной?

Преодолевая каньоны, пространства,
Всё поставить на карту...
Твоё сердце и разум больше не могут
Удерживать воспоминания…

 
Вода в зеркале...
Тогда что в реальности?
Покажи, где сейчас
Волны в опасности.
Пульс в линию.
Кто-то кается. 
За тебя прячется и тебя касается.
Эпилепсия скорости 
В водовороте пропасти
Ведёт вроде бы,
А на деле крошится.
Осколки портятся.
И цунами обрушилось.
Постоянно вкладывать,
Получать что сбудется.
Мерещится, все мерещится.
Вроде бы как станется, 
А на деле - пленница.

Вода в зеркале...
Тогда что в реальности?
Покажи, где сейчас
Волны в опасности.

Lyrics
Tempus Fugit

Smooth dance in mind
The patterns and tangles lead.
Ruby light inside
Opens the force of aspiration.

Crossing the castles of Creation
The world is becoming paler:
Green crystals, pearl light...
Barely visible blurred contours.

We're entering aureole...
Everything is spinning in a whirlwind,
By slow little steps
We achieve Eternity.

	Stairs! Rising up higher
	We're going down...
	Here it is! Shining!
	Now we turn into
	Disembodied points of consciousness.

Vertigo!
We're wrapped up in warm wool.
This is a cosmic heart!
We're in the center... 
This is a cosmic heart!
We're in the center...

This is a cosmic heart...
We're in the center of Universe.

	Crossing the castles of Creation
	The world is becoming paler:
	Green crystals, pearl light...
	Barely visible blurred contours.

This is a cosmic heart...

This is a cosmic heart...

We're in a center of Universe.
