lyrics

12. Прыжок
На мосту я стою,
Зыбок и тонок мост.
Страх с правой стороны,
Слева – желаний зов.

Вся моя жизнь – борьба,
Трудны решения.
Я так хочу любви,
Но сильны сомнения.

Я все стою и жду.
Сколько же можно ждать?
Прыгнуть страх не дает,
А я хочу летать.

Может быть унесет
Ветер с собой меня.
Стану легка как пух,
Стану как день светла.

Птица улиц – улетаю в небо я.
Рыба улиц – уплываю в море я.
И больше ничего я не хочу
Высоко и глубоко плыву лечу.

Моя жизнь – это миг,
Этот прыжок-полет.
На мосту не стою,
Зыбок и тонок мост.

Вверх и вперед лечу,
Бросив свою печаль.
Этот миг – моя жизнь,
Мне ничего не жаль.

Птица улиц – уплываю в небо я.
Рыба улиц – улетаю в море я.
И больше ничего я не хочу
Высоко и глубоко плыву лечу.

The Leap

(inspired by a photograph of Yves Klein by Harry Shunk “Man in space. The painter of space throws himself into the void”)

I am standing on a bridge.
It’s thin and rickety.
On my right – fear.
On my left – desires.

My life is a struggle,
Decisions are difficult.
I really want to love and be loved,
But doubts are strong.

I am standing and waiting.
How long will I wait?
The fear stops me from jumping.
But I want to fly!

Maybe the wind
Will push me over.
I’ll become as light as a feather,
I’ll become as clear as light itself.

The street bird – I am flying into the sky.
The street fish – I am plunging into the sea.
I don’t want anything more.
High and deep I am swimming-flying.

My life is this moment,
This leap-flight.
I am not waiting on the bridge anymore,
It’s too thin and rickety.

I am flying up and ahead,
I’ve left my sadness behind.
This moment is my life,
I don’t regret anything.
