10. Princess / Принцесса
words and music – Zulya Kamalova

lyrics

Я полюблю тебя за то,
Что придумаю сама,
Чего в тебе, наверно, нет.
А ты меня не сразу и поймешь,
Будешь недоумевать
И меня переубеждать.

Мы будем вместе
Петь, гулять и танцевать.
Я попрошу тебя,
Чтобы ты стал таким
Как принц в моем кино.
А ты будешь слушать
И меня перебивать.
Мне говорить, что я скорей всего не права,
И все это смешно.

Сон этот будет длиться ночь,
А потом наступит день,
Протрезвеет голова.
Но я эту сказку берегу
И не верю никому,
Что любовь моя пуста.

Наши дороги разойдутся в стороны.
Вот и любовь прошла,
Ведь оказалось, что
Ты совсем не принц.
А я – принцесса,
И продолжаю верить в то,
Что скоро придет ко мне
Мой благородный принц
На белом коне.

I have fallen in love with you for reasons I invented myself,
You are probably not like that at all.
You do not understand me, you are confused at first,
And then you try to convince me otherwise.

We spend time together, we dance and sing,
I ask you to become the prince of my dreams.
You listen and interrupt, and tell me
That it’s all rather amusing but I am wrong.

This dream continues for the night, then
The new day begins and minds sober up.
But I guard my fairytale,
And will not believe anyone who says my love is empty.

Our paths have to part, our love is over,
As it turns out you are not a prince at all.
I, however, am a princess and continue to believe
That soon my prince will arrive for me astride his great white steed.
