There is no crying at the graves
And no priest is singing a prayer.
But the sound of not yet beating hearts
Is hanging in the air like a vague hum.
Forgotten in the bottomless darkness
Are those who had lived their lives long time ago.
But in the same void are lying those
Who haven’t opened their eyelids yet.
There are no crypts, no tombstones, no crosses,
But the world is full of unborn dead.
The light of day has melted away,
And the shadows roam by the fire,
But no one lights one candle
For the night that was yesterday.
The light in my eyes will go out
At the frontier of no return.
There’s no difference there
If I’m dead already or dead yet.
There are no crypts, no tombstones, no crosses,
But the world is full of unborn dead.
I don’t care if I suddenly die -
I haven’t lived for hundreds of years before my birth.
lyrics
════════════════════════════
Не слышно плача у могил,
И не поёт молитву жрец,
Но, как туманный гул, застыл
Стук незабившихся сердец.
Забыт в бездонной темноте
Тот, кто свой век давно прожил,
Но в той же мгле лежат и те,
Кто ещё веки не раскрыл.
Ни склепов нет, ни надгробных плит, ни крестов,
Но полон свет неродившихся мертвецов.
Растаял свет дневных лучей,
И бродят тени у костра,
Но не зажжёт никто свечей
По ночи, что была вчера.
В моих глазах погаснет свет
На безвозвратном рубеже.
Там никаких отличий нет –
Мертва ещё или уже.
Ни склепов нет, ни надгробных плит, ни крестов,
Но полон свет неродившихся мертвецов.
Мне дела нет, если я бы вдруг умерла –
Я сотни лет до рождения не жила.
