Есть только миг... [Est' tol'ko mig...] [English translation]

Everything is illusory in this stormy world,

There's only an instant onto which you can grasp.

There's only an instant between past and future,

And that's what we call life.

Eternal calm is unlikely to joy the heart,

Eternal calm is for aged pyramids.

And for a star that fell down and is plummeting,

There's only an instant, a blinding instant.

And for a star that fell down and is plummeting,

There's only an instant, a blinding instant.

Let this world fly onward through the centuries,

But we don't always share the same road.

What do I cherish, what do I risk the most -

One instant, only one instant.

Happiness we're to encounter, or trouble,

There's only an instant onto which you can grasp.

There's only an instant between past and future,

And that's what we call life.

There's only an instant between past and future,

And that's what we call life.
