lyrics

2. Вальс пустоты
Запах степи, ветер и небо – мой путь.
Перемещение в пространстве – мой сон.
То рельсы, то воздух, то корабли...
И пустота непривязанности.

Но я уже не помню, что я ищу.
Смысла ведь нет ни в чем все равно.
Запах степи, ветер, небо и ты...
И пустота непривязанности.

А если светлое небо тучи закроют,
Послышатся всюду звуки грозы,
Любовь да свобода,
А не то, что скажут люди,
Пусть греют мне сердце.
Сомнение, молчи!

Все это просто любовь и тоска.
Вот бы осесть и уснуть навсегда.
Так, чтобы снились порою мне сны
О пустоте непривязанности.

А если светлое небо тучи закроют,
Послышатся всюду звуки грозы,
Любовь да свобода,
А не то, что скажут люди,
Пусть греют мне сердце.
Сомнение, молчи!

The Waltz of Emptiness

The smell of the steppe, the wind and the sky are my path.
Traversing space is my dream.
The train tracks, the air, the sea
And the emptiness of non-attachment.

But I don’t even remember what I am looking for.
There’s not much sense in anything anyway.
The smell of the steppe, the wind, the sky
And you…
And the emptiness of non-attachment.

It’s all just love and yearning.
Why don’t I settle down and fall asleep
And dream dreams of
The emptiness of non-attachment?

And if the clear skies cloud over,
And the sounds of a storm are heard,
May love and freedom warm my heart.
Doubt, keep silent!

Zulya and The Children of the Underground perform exquisite original music inspired by Zulya’s Tatar and Russian roots. The music defies being labelled, but has been described as “Kurt Weillish, Euro-Cabaret jazz colliding with lullabies constructed to tear your heart out.” Since their formation in 2003, they have enjoyed unprecedented success throughout their native Australia and abroad. ... more
