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 ...
