НИТЬЮ [NITʹYU] [English translation]

The days are torn,

The dreams are torn,

The night is torn,

How to hold them together?

How could I lie about it?

What could help it?

I will be catching you, catching with my lips,

I will be begging you, begging with my arms.

Refrain:

I will be a thin thread

On your wrist,

Don’t cast me away, don’t let me fall.

I will be a thin thread,

A barely visible red thread,

Don’t take me off, don’t kill me in vain.

And when you wake up in the morning,

Hold me close in the noise of the cities.

And when you dress up in the morning, hide me in the shade of your sleeves.

And though they say that everything will get carried away by the water,

Don’t believe them all, I will be always with you.

Refrain:

I will be a thin thread

On your wrist,

Don’t cast me away, don’t let me fall.

I will be a thin thread,

A barely visible red thread,

Don’t take me off, don’t kill me in vain.

I will be a thin thread

On your wrist,

Don’t cast me away, don’t let me fall.

I will be a thin thread,

A barely visible red thread,

Don’t take me off, don’t kill me in vain.
