The Star
So many times I asked myself
What for I was born into this world
and grew up
And why the clouds float and rains
pour
You shouldn't expect anything for
yourself in this world
I would fly up to the clouds but I
have no wings
That starlight lures me from afar
But it's hard to reach the star
though the goal is close at hand
And I don't know if I 'll have enough
strength for the throw
I'll wait just a little bit more
And then will get ready for my
journey
Towards the Dream and Hope
Oh my star, please don't burn out,
just wait!
How many paths do I have to go by?
How many peaks should I conquer
to find my own self?
How long should I keep falling from
the cliff?
How many times should I start from
the beginning and is there any
sense to it?
I'll wait just a little bit more
And then will get ready for my
journey
Towards the Dream and Hope
Oh my star, please don't burn out,
just wait!

Mama
I can hardly put into words
Those feelings rooted deep in my
soul
How can I explain it? At nights
I stay awake because of haunting
thoughts
It's you, mum, I recall again and
again
My dear, my sweet one, please
forgive me
For I've always been so stubborn
Have been searching for hard ways
Forgive me, my dear, for parting
with you
For my occasional letters
In my thoughts I kiss your hand
And your tightly pressed lips
I often cry when I remember
How I used to hurt you at times
Forgive me, my dear!
Forgive me with love for the last time
How much I failed to understand...
And I still have to understand so
much!
It seems that I loved too little
If I failed to experience love...
Forgive me, my dear, for parting
with you
For my occasional letters
In my thoughts I kiss your hand
And your tightly pressed lips
Your love is love without measure
Your hopes and dreams...
Forgive me for my impertinent
manners
Which upset you so much
Now I know more about life
I managed to understand a lot of
things
I remember all your care
Longing to embrace you.
Forgive me, my dear, for parting
with you
For my occasional letters
In my thoughts I kiss your hand
And your tightly pressed lips

An Autumn Leaf
The world has broken up into
thousands of pieces
Only emptiness was left in the eyes
My soul feels as if it were pricked by
needles
Where did the Beauty disappear?
I am torn by melancholy
I am shattered to pieces
Like an autumn leaf in the wind
I'm playing a strange game
Like an autumn leaf in the wind
I'll erase myself from the memory
Scraps of incomprehensible
thoughts
About someone who is very lonely
Are flowing around me in a stream
Striking me as if by electric
discharge
I am torn by melancholy
I am shattered to pieces
Like an autumn leaf in the wind
I'm playing a strange game
Like an autumn leaf in the wind
I'll erase myself from the memory

Through The Years
I am thinking of you all the time
But to fulfill my obligation
I had to leave and you had to stay
We were separated by
circumstances
You are far away and for many
months
We haven't seen each other
But there will be no hard feelings
When we talk over the phone late at
night
We are far away from each other
Like two planets up in the sky...
Miles of stinging anguish
Separate us...
Through the years and misfortunes
Through the storms and snowfalls
I remember your farewell gaze
I am so tired of feeling lonely
Listening to your voice over the
wires
But I don't want anybody else
You are the best one in the world
We are far away from each other
Like two planets up in the sky...
Miles of stinging anguish
Separate us...
Through the years and misfortunes
Through the storms and snowfalls
I remember your farewell gaze
We are far away from each other
Like two planets up in the sky...
Miles of stinging anguish
Separate us...
Through the years and misfortunes
Through the storms and snowfalls
I remember your farewell gaze

The Birds Have Flown Away
When the lime-trees lose their
leaves
Into an autumn's slanting sunset
The cranes will fly to the south
Through all the lament and
sobbing...
There is an evening smoke
Creeping at an autumn day's
sunset...
They fly losing feathers above their
motherland
But still they cannot see me...
No matter that the birds have flown
away
And a dull dawn is burning behind
the window...
What we haven't yet finished singing
We'll sing to the end later...
It seems I can hear your ringing
voice
You are young, you are in love...
My heart burst out into verses
Making me feel excited again...
The soul won't avoid being chased
Passion won't be satisfied
And the red horses are trying
To float slowly up in the sky...
No matter that the birds have flown
away
And a dull dawn is burning behind
the window...
What we haven't yet finished singing
We'll sing to the end later...
No matter that the birds have flown
away
And a dull dawn is burning behind
the window...
What we haven't yet finished singing
We'll sing to the end later...

Starry River
A starry river of the sky...
Parting on the map...
I love you but for the time being
"Farewell" I say, "farewell"
I am the one who burns bridges
And I don't hear prayers
I am frightened to come down
To the ground from proud heights
In the age of sorrow and losses
We are both unhappy
The light of earthly icon-lamps may
go out
But not the stars
We go away from ourselves
Into bad weather and growth
But the fate is determined
By the stars, by the stars
Even the starry ocean
Is unstable today
Our cosmic love affair
Is over, is over...
A starry river of the sky...
Parting on the map...
I love you but for the time being
"Farewell" I say, "farewell"
Those lucid eyes of yours
Are beautiful like stars
Days and voices may fade out
But not the stars...
A starry river of the sky...
Parting on the map...
I love you but for the time being
"Farewell" I say, "farewell"

My God, How Much I Love
Who created you to cause trouble
to me?
I got used to pain but I can't bear lies
Your lips are burning with
intoxicating words
But love will freeze in your heart
My God, how much I love - I shout to
the sky
But the winds blow my feelings off
the face
Like a raven at night, I'll peck myself
to death
Declaration of love is nothing but
words, isn't it?
If it were not you who were sending
me away
I could leave keeping unanswered
love in my heart
But the Fate makes me come back
again and again
Falling under the spell of your
burning words
My God, how much I love - I shout to
the sky
But the winds blow my feelings off
the face
Like a raven at night, I'll peck myself
to death
Declaration of love is nothing but
words, isn't it?

Pigtails
My little girl, you are so beautiful
Before going to bed we read tales
together
But the one I loved is not here any
more
And I'll have to love you for both
mum and dad
The happiness was left on our old
photos
Our love used to be a big and true
one
I'm glad that you have no memories
of that coldness
And other people's voices in our
dear home
In the morning I plait your pigtails
It became my habit and I mastered
this skill
I'll have to learn much more myself
And then teach you what I've learned
My little girl, you are so beautiful
My caress is still quite enough for
you
But soon you'll start asking
questions
And perhaps you'll grow up quicker
than others
Everything was split into "before"
and "after"
Living without her won't be easy for
us
And time widens the gap between us
But I have an angel with her
features by my side
In the morning I plait your pigtails
It became my habit and I mastered
this skill
I'll have to learn much more myself
And then teach you what I've learned
In the morning I plait your pigtails
It became my habit and I mastered
this skill
I'll have to learn much more myself
And then teach you what I've learned

Even the Stars Will Look
Like Letters (insomnia)
Your dear nestling flew away from
you
But this decision was taken by Fate,
not by me
And it turns out that you are left all
alone
And keep on waiting for a letter from
your son
And insomnia will knock at your door
Full of alarming thoughts as always
And then even stars outside the
night window
Will look like letters to you
You will be telling my news again
and again
To all your neighbours and friends
And your smile will shyly hide your
sadness
Scratching in your soul every night
like a kitten
And insomnia will knock at your door
Full of alarming thoughts as always
And then even stars outside the
night window
Will look like letters to you
Please forgive me for adding grey
colour to your hair
I am ready to apologize all my life
It is not songs that I dedicate to you
I am dedicating you my love
And insomnia will knock at your door
Full of alarming thoughts as always
And then even stars outside the
night window
Will look like letters to you

Extraterrestrial Friend
Apart from those friends that
surround me
There is a secret circle
Of my invisible unknown friends
I am someone's unknown friend, too
Apart from those enemies that you
have around
There are a hundred gangs
Of my invisible unknown enemies
I am someone's unknown enemy, too
Apart from those planets without life
Some distant light may be flying to
them
Millions of years from those invisible
and unknown
Though loving and thinking planets
Maybe, there is no blood in their
veins
And they are awarded prizes for
loving
For a circle of invisible unknown
friends
And fraternity of the existing worlds
Apart from those friends that
surround me
Perhaps, there is an extraterrestrial
friend
Of my invisible and unknown friends
I am their extraterrestrial friend,
too...
Of my invisible and unknown
friends...
I am someone's unknown friend,
too...

Wait for a While
Somewhere far away in another
country
Where no one remembers me any
more
There I left my love
And now dream of it again and again
Somewhere far away in another land
Where you left your love
We see one and the same dream
And our hearts keep on beating in
unison
Wait for a while and I'll find the way
I want to be with you as before
Wait for a while and I'll find the way
To link our two souls together
Somewhere far away in another
country
Please keep thinking of me all the
time
Don't be in a hurry to forget me
Our two souls became one, you
know
Wait for a while and I'll find the way
I want to be with you as before
Wait for a while and I'll find the way
To link our two souls together
