Нежность [Nezhnost'] [English translation]

What a strange tune

Penetrated your universe, forever stranger to me?

What strange eyes ask, ask all the time

To me: ''Be a while with me!''

What do I need for so many bright eyes?

What do I need for so many tender arms?

I don't want to upset you,

I've got nothing to do with your tortures.

I embrace this world

And I want to keep everything in it,

As the ghost idol demands,

You cannot give so strongly your tenderness.

What, have I harmed so few eyes

With my knowledge breathe them in the depth?

What, have I put so few phrases

On my shoulder – shall I prove I'm not saying a lie?

What do I need for so many bright eyes?

What do I need for so many tender arms?

I don't want to upset you,

I've got nothing to do with your tortures.

I embrace this world

And I want to keep everything in it,

As the ghost idol demands,

You cannot give so strongly your tenderness.

You can't find calmness from this tenderness,

From all this fuss so warm inside.

I persist on more, but not the right shoulder

Is touching me, but in vain...
