Одна [Odna] [English translation]
Одна [Odna] [English translation]
The hair of smoke weaves around
The palm of ardent fire.
Pain will rise and cry:
“Heaven, take me!”
I will give my blind soul
I will burn down to ashes
And in eternal chains of suffocation
I will come back here again
Oh, I could not sleep
Yes, in the dark night
And the wind does not dispel
The pain about my homeland.
Rise up like a bird and remain there
But I cannot reach the sky with one wing.
The pain devours my soul
My world is destroyed
But I am here
Under the greedy gaze of others
With foreign roots
I lie prostrate on Mother Earth
And do not get up
Do not get up!
Now, do not get up!
Alone among faded faces
Stranger in the land of shadows
Again I wander through the world
In hiding from people
I will expose my secret
Keeping the covenant of my ancestors
Maybe even after centuries
My kin will find me
I am running outside the wheel of time
Running away, and I call Yav to me
But Yav’s rumor says:
“I am dying with an alien soul,
And at the edge of my homeland.”
I’m dying, I escape…
My family went to sleep in oblivion
I am a ring of the worldly chain
That shackled me to alien thoughts
Forged in false speech.
I want to run away from here
Away from people
Run!
Alone among faded faces,
Stranger in the land of shadows,
Again I wander through the world
In hiding from people
I will expose my secret
Keeping the covenant of my ancestors
Maybe after centuries
I will not be alone!
Standing in the ashes
Of the dead fire,
Where are you, native gods?
Heaven! Hear me!
I will give my blind soul
I will burn down to ashes
And in eternal chains of suffocation
I will come back here again.
