WHY YOU CRY
The song, to the verses of the poet Boryan Pokidko - one of the most important representatives of Moscow existential punk. It was performed and recorded during a LIVE impromptu session at a Berlin studio. Life is fleeting. But it makes sense thanks to love.
Зачем ты плачешь, все равно умрешь
И по дороге что-то потеряешь
А если миг – и песню не пропеть
Да и о чем тебе осталось спеть?
О чем молчать? Похожа ты на лед
Соленых слез, застывших невпопад
Но неужели чудо не придет?
И жизнь всего лишь бесконечный ад?
Но сон – всего лишь сон, и утром вновь
Поля набьются юною травой
И может быть придет к тебе любовь
Ты по дороге к ней тихонько спой
Вновь лето только что опять прошло
Мечты умрут в заоблачном гробу
И только лучик солнца сквозь стекло
Осыплет поцелуями судьбу
И в час, когда не в силах губ разжать
Безмолвие застынет в тишине
Пойдет свинец за облаком мерцать
И ртуть сиять в небесной синеве
Но сон – всего лишь сон, и утром вновь
Поля набьются юною травой
И может быть придет к тебе любовь
Ты по дороге к ней тихонько спой
И вот твой кон закончиться сумел
Напрасно смерть боялась не прийти
И только лучик солнца на окне
Ведь ты свою любовь смогла найти.
...
Why are you crying, you will die anyway.
And you will lose something along the way.
And if one jiffy. And you can’t sing this song?
And what are you left to sing about?
What is this silence about?
You look like the ice from salty tears,
Frozen out of place.
Well, really, a miracle will not come,
And life is just endless hell?
But a dream is just a dream.
And again tomorrow the fields will be filled with new grass.
And maybe love will come to you.
Sing quietly along the road to her.
Summer has just passed again.
Dreams will die in a sky-high grave.
And only a ray of sunshine
Through the glass will shower fate with kisses.
And at an hour when you can't unclench your lips,
Silence will freeze in the sky,
And lead will gleam behind the cloud,
And mercury will shine in the heavenly blue.
But a dream is just a dream.
And again tomorrow the fields will be filled with new grass.
And maybe love will come to you.
Sing quietly along the road to her.
And now your round has managed to end.
And death would not come in vain.
And only a ray of sun shines on the window,
Because you could find your love.
