about

First song from the cicle "While there is still a road..."

lyrics

I fell asleep on a glassy morning of Spring,
An April wind was humming on the top of a hill.
I woke up – golden birch leaves were falling,
I was sleeping, while my life elapsed.

I rose and went into the distance and into the silence,
And only the Moon and the shadow were following.
I found nothing, all my lady-loves grew old,
And my father, mother are lying under the ground.

This land is beautiful and independent,
And I do not depend on or belong to anyone.
And this land turned alien to me, like Chinese script,
I bestow everything to You, but this song I give to myself.
