Метель [Metel'] [English translation]

Words and music: Yuri Yulianovich Shevchuk & DDT

Crowned by the moon,

Like a lofty beginning,

Like a victory that isn't mine,

Like a hope that isn't easy.

Behind the window is a wall of blizzard,

It buries life up to its throat.

The frustrated finale blows off the hinges,

And guzzles all the warmth.

Play however you can play,

Close your eyes and go back.

Don't get lost, but grow,

Take a bow.

Thaw out my window,

And let spring into the fields.

Don't just live, but thrive,

You will be with me forever.

You will be with me forever.

You will be with me forever.

With me...

Lanterns search for the ground,

Their candlelight stretching to the sky,

On the snow traces of the dawn -

Wings of the fallen moon.

Well then, blizzard, a toast,

We drink time on an empty stomach.

I sing, and you, in tact, bark,

About lost things.

Play however you can play,

Close your eyes and go back.

Don't get lost, but thaw,

Take a bow.

Thaw out my window,

And let spring into the fields.

Don't just live, but thrive,

You will be with me forever.

You will be with me forever.

You will be with me forever.

With me...

Carefully, without haste,

With the white wind at your chest,

Where the boat is frozen in the ice,

The frozen soul waits...

Play however you can play,

Close your eyes and go back.

Don't get lost, but thaw,

Take a bow.

Thaw out my window,

And let spring into the fields.

Don't just live, but thrive,

You will be with me forever.

You will be with me forever.

You will be with me forever.

With me...
