The ballad of a smoke-filled car
Author: A. Kochetkov
It is so painful, dear, so weird,
Brought close in earth, entwined with legs, –
It is so painful, dear, so weird
Be thus divided by an axe.
The wound will never heal on heart,
It’ll overflow with pure tears,
The wound will never heal on heart –
It’ll overflow with blazing flame.
- Until the end I’ll stay with you –
Soul with the blood are single whole,-
- Until the end I’ll stay with you –
Love – death don’t ever part or stop.
Wherever you go you’ll take with you -
Wherever you go you’ll take, my soul, -
Wherever you go you’ll take with you
The native land, your dearest home.
- What if no shelter I could find
From the compassion hard to cure?
- What if no shelter I could find
From freezing cold and total dark?
- After the parting meeting’ll come,
Don’t ever you forget me, dear,
- After the parting meeting’ll come,
We’re getting back – both you and I.
- But if I’m missing, gone away –
A tiny light of daylight ray, -
- But if I’m missing, gone away
Over stellar belt, in milky belt?
- For you then I will start to pray,
Not to forget the earthly ways,
For you then I will start to pray
To come back home out of harm’s way.
Jolted in crowded smoke-filled train,
He got so homeless, meek and cold,
Jolted in crowded smoke-filled train,
Half-crying, half-asleep he stayed,
When consist on a slippery hang,
Bent suddenly in deadly lurch,
When consist on a slippery hang
Of sudden rolled, tore wheels off track.
Inhuman force of feral strength,
Is crippling all in deadly arms,
Inhuman force of feral strength,
The earthly from the earth threw off.
And no one’s ever kept intact
By meeting promised in the past,
And no one’s ever kept intact
By hand that from a distance calls.
Oh, never part with your beloved!
Oh, never part with your beloved!
Oh, never part with your beloved!
With all the blood grow into them!
And every time take leave for ever,
And every time take leave for ever,
And every time take leave for ever
When for a moment you leave them!
