День первый [Den' pervyj] [English translation]

There was a first day, and birds took off right from your hands

There's a scent of walnuts in the air

Wind was afraid to touch your lips

And noontime lasted more than ever*

You said a word and I felt like it came to life

And not far from us in the shadow

She smiled at us as if we were kids

And then, all the houses casting shadows at your feet invited you in

And every mistress of her house lit candles inside, calling for you

And you felt a shiver, shaking like a compass needle,

As you looked into those eyes

And they all were ready to be your target when you shot

Even though they didn't know what you saw in their faces

But they kept waiting for your word,

Hoping to hear it once again

Someone who loves you keeps silence - now you've become wiser than them

And visions of the dead expect to get free from the underworld

But you will hardly ever let them out

And jugglers in the market-place count your hours

But no one can tell you what you need to know

How could you make her smile again?
