Smile

Smile! If the rain outside the window won't stop...
Smile! If you failed to do something...
Smile! If happiness hid behind the clouds...
Smile! Even if your soul got slightly scratched...

Refrain: (Vocalization)

Smile! And you'll see how everything changes...
Smile! The rain will stop and the ground will dress up in snow...
Smile! And your sorrow will pass by...
Smile! And then your soul will begin to live...

Refrain: (Vocalization)

 

Вlessed Guru

Blissful Guru, where are you going?
Blissful Guru, aren't you waiting for me?
I'm not waiting for you
I haven't got enough strength
From all this vanity
I will go into the Silence...

Crazy dances of the Blissful Guru
Accompanied by the songs of Shamans
Are going into the Silence

The Blissful Guru is sitting in the Silence...
Blissful Guru, give me your hand!
No one can perceive
My blissful style
From the Silence
I will go into the Depth...

Crazy dances of the Blissful Guru
Accompanied by the songs of Shamans
Are going into the Depth

Crazy dances

Crazy dances

Crazy dances

Crazy dances....

 

Wax Figures

All those great persons and geniuses
Who used to turn the wheel of history
Became wax figures
In the gallery of Madam Tussot
They all stand still in silence
Their faces are coloured with paint
But their souls are in utmost despair
And their heads are supported by spokes

Presidents and brilliant actors
Those who used to be famous
Omnipotent and powerful
Turned into speechless dolls
All the epochs and countries are mixed there
All the tyrants and fighters for freedom
Now they all stand like statues
Just to amuse people

They never feel sadness or anguish
They have no dreams of the future
But once taken outside and left in the sun
They would melt very quickly
All those great persons and geniuses
Who used to turn the wheel of history
Became wax figures...
And so did Madam Tussot!

 

Someone's Meloncholy is Crying

Someone's melancholy is crying in the autumn wind
Only I don't know how we should ask the Fate
To bring a piece of happiness instead of separation
And not to wail painfully for us by night

You sway as if you were tipsy at night
It looks like we lack something
The sun got cold and the morning
Brings together hands and heads over the tables

I often feel like pang grips my heart
Someone's joy fills me again
Everyone gets together behind my back
Like moths on a forest's glade

 

AVE MARIA  (Latin)

Ave Maria, gratia plena
Dominus tecum, benedicta tu
In mulieribus et benedictus
Fructus ventris tuae, Jesus.
Sancta Maria...
Ora pro nobis,
Peccatoribus,
Nunc et in hora mortis nostrae.
Ave Maria!

 

Cold World

The world around us is frozen
Like a lump of ice
And life is gone forever
The clouds in the sky got frozen
Within a moment
For ages to come
Only emptiness was everywhere
For a long time
And my dream got lost
In the emptiness

In this cold world
Thoughts got frozen up
And tears turned into ice
Blank people hide
Their cold eyes
From one another
In this cold world
Joy was forgotten
Only misfortune was left
The planet became smooth
There are empty towns
Everywhere

Night follows day
As it has always been
But you can't escape cold
Everybody got used
To the emptiness
Darkness and vanity
Nobody believes any more
That the warmth will come
The sun will become hot again
And melt the ice

In this cold world
Thoughts got frozen up
And tears turned into ice
Blank people hide
Their cold eyes
From one another
In this cold world
Joy was forgotten
Only misfortune was left
The planet became smooth
There are empty towns
Everywhere

Good bye

I am light in myself
I am darkness in myself
I am summer in myself
I am winter in myself
I live on the stars
Where the sky ends
And up from there
I wisper: 'good-bye"

Good-good-good-good-good-good-bye-bye-bye...

I walk on the stars
Of the Milky Way
I can leave the world
Or I can save it
I live on the stars
Where the sky ends
And up from there
I'll whisper: "good-bye"

Good-good-good-good-good-good-bye-bye-bye...

 

 

Island of Sunken Ships

Weary posters will be washed away by rain
I feel like you are going to me
You want to be with me but I don't belong to anyone
You know, what I need now is an island of unearthly lights
You think that if I'm with you, I am yours
You know, I'm close and alien to everyone
You want to be with me but I don't belong to anyone
And my house is like an island of sunken ships

Please find my island of sunken ships
It got lost among the city lights
Let's get away and hide there for many years
Disappearing like ships flying up to the light

Everyday routine will absorb me
But to continue my interrupted flight
I will open the door of my soul for music to come in
Don't you knock on it, this sound causes pain
Weary posters will be washed away by rain
I feel you won't come any more
Here I am alone again, not belonging to anyone
And my house is like an island of sunken ships

Please find my island of sunken ships
It got lost among the city lights
Let's get away and hide there for many years
Disappearing like ships flying up to the light

 

Fantastic Dreams

Soon I will turn into cold ice
A crystal of rare beauty
In my free falling
From unbelievable height
I will immerse my meteorite dreams into anabiosis
One day all fantastic dreams will come true

I am around you
I am here and there
Follow me with your eyes
I am a miracle, you know

Soon I will turn into simple steam
Or fog - it doesn't matter
Or, perhaps, I will flame up into fire
In a catastrophic movie
I will immerse my meteorite dreams into anabiosis
One day all fantastic dreams will come true

I am around you
I am here and there
Follow me with your eyes
I am a miracle, you know

Fan-fan-fan-fan-fan-fantastic dreams...

Fan-fan-fan-fan-fan-fantastic dreams...

Happiness

Happiness - here it is
Here it is - happiness
Happiness - here it is
Here it is - happiness

To enjoy live together
Never to part
To fall asleep and wake up
And smile to each other

Happiness - here it is
Here it is - happiness
Happiness - here it is
Here it is - happiness

To call you my darling
Sweet, one and only
To look into your eyes
Live and die together

Happiness... Happiness... Happiness...Here it is - happiness

Happiness... Happiness... Happiness...Here it is - happiness

Happiness... Happiness... Happiness...Here it is - happiness

Happiness... Happiness... Happiness...Here it is - happiness

 

 

The Chrysanthemums Have Faded

In the garden where I met you
Your favourite shrub of chrysanthemums burst into bloom
And in my soul a bright feeling
Of tender love came into blossom

The chrysanthemums in the garden faded long ago
But the love is still alive in my aching heart

Our garden is abandoned and you are gone
I am strolling alone totally worn out
And tears suddenly run down my face
When I come near the faded shrub of chrysanthemums

The chrysanthemums in the garden faded long ago
But the love is still alive in my aching heart

In the garden where I met you
Your favourite shrub of chrysanthemums burst into bloom
And in my soul a bright feeling
Of tender love came into blossom

The chrysanthemums in the garden faded long ago
But the love is still alive in my aching heart

 

Rain in Tiblisi

It's raining in Tbilisi and a white Zhiguli car
Is floating down the road like a ship
It looks like I am happy as a child
Because I am loved by you whom I love as well

It's raining in Tbilisi. Chopping the firmament
A sudden thunder's flying like a crane
I wish you could hear it, my dear
'Cause it's telling everyone that I love you

It's raining in Tbilisi. I am dressed in rain
Flaunting my attire like a king
I am sad because you are not by my side
But even far away you should know that I love you

It's raining in Tbilisi, a blind downpour of May
I am catching it with my mouth as if I were drunk
And like you, it's kissing and embracing me
Coming to realize that I truely love you

Unfulfilled dreams are all I have at the moment
God bless the day when you and I
Will come to this land blessed by us
And enter Tbilisi's rain like a temple

 

 

Blind Painter

He is so fatally lone like a sail on the sea
To be born blind - what a misfortune!
He never left his house for fear of falling
And still he didn't take offence at his fate
There was one consolation in his existence
Strange though it may seem, he found himself in painting
He painted still life and landscapes
Without even seeing his works

Having no idea of colour
The blind artist paints summer during a cold winter
The blind artist is unable to see paints
But all his pictures look like fairy-tales

His soul's cry was bursting out in his canvases
Everybody saw in them something personal and wondered
How one, unacquainted with love, could paint happiness
And put bloody hell next door to heaven

Having no idea of colour
The blind artist paints summer during a cold winter
The blind artist is unable to see paints
But all his pictures look like fairy-tales

 

Lovely Music

Your Majesty dear music
Please forgive my loving you
Your Majesty dear music
Will you speak - and I will keep silent

Your Majesty dear music
Please forgive my being silent for too long
Your Majesty dear music
Will you play it - and I will sing for you

Your Majesty dear music
Now let's keep silence together

 

Belorussia

A white stork is flying
Above the whitish woodlands
A Byelorussian tune is heard
In the song of heather and brittle willows
This land accepted it all
Care, and caress, and flame
The sky was blazing above the earth
Like a crimson banner

Byelorussia, my youthfulness!
A partisans' song... Pine-trees and fog...
A partisans' song... Scarlet daybreak...
Byelorussia, my youthfulness!

Our memory follows
The forest path of the partisans
These paths are not forgotten
In the people's fate
Every heart still aches
From the pain of those bygone years
The little children of Hotyn
Cry in every our family

Byelorussia, my youthfulness!
A partisans' song... Pine-trees and fog...
A partisans' song... Scarlet daybreak...
Byelorussia, my youthfulness!

A white stork is flying
Above the woodlands and quiet stubble-fields
Somewhere in the swamps
A cooling thunder is buried
The white stork keeps on flying
Above our native fields
Overshadowing the land of our love
With its big wings

Byelorussia, my youthfulness!
A partisans' song... Pine-trees and fog...
A partisans' song... Scarlet daybreak...
Byelorussia, my youthfulness!
Byelorussia, my youthfulness!
A partisans' song... Pine-trees and fog...
A partisans' song... Scarlet daybreak...
Byelorussia, my youthfulness!

See You Later

Thank you, my friends, for this evening
I've been waiting for it impatiently
But the time has flown unnoticed
And we have to part now

See you later, see you later...
May good luck accompany you!
See you later, see you later...
I will leave but I'll give you my warmth

Thank you for your understanding
For your support and warmth
I'm just telling you "see you later"
And wish you to be lucky all the time

See you later, see you later...
May good luck accompany you!
See you later, see you later...
I will leave but I'll give you my warmth
