Черный Лебедь (Chernii Lebed’) Lyrics in English by Борис Гребенщиков (Boris Grebenshchikov)
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Черный Лебедь (Chernii Lebed’) by Борис Гребенщиков (Boris Grebenshchikov) from Russian to English.
Чёрный лебедь прокладывает курс
Chyornii lebed’ prokladivaet kurs
The black swan charts its course
Чёрный лебедь в поле битого кирпича
Chyornii lebed’ v pole bitogo kirpicha
Black swan in a field of broken bricks
Когда я жил на берегу реки, я знал каждую каплю на вкус
Kogda ya zhil na beregu reki, ya znal kazhduyu kaplyu na vkus
When I lived by the river, I knew every drop to taste
Но я не помню, где дом, у меня больше нет ключа
No ya ne pomnyu, gde dom, u menya bol’she net klyucha
But I don't remember where home is, I don't have the key anymore
Моё тело вертикальный взлёт по оси
Moyo telo vertikal’nii vzlyot po osi
My body takes off vertically along the axis
Я знаю всё, что случится за мгновение до
Ya znayu vsyo, chto sluchitsya za mgnovenie do
I know everything that will happen a moment before
Мои крылья цвета такого огня, что, Господи, помилуй их и спаси
Moi kril’ya tsveta takogo ognya, chto, Gospodi, pomilui ikh i spasi
My wings are the color of such fire that, Lord, have mercy on them and save them
Цвета огня в лесу, в котором было моё гнездо
Tsveta ognya v lesu, v kotorom bilo moyo gnezdo
The colors of fire in the forest where my nest was
Я пришёл сюда не потому, что хотел
Ya prishyol syuda ne potomu, chto khotel
I didn't come here because I wanted to
Я родился без имени, я не выбирал цвета глаз
Ya rodilsya bez imeni, ya ne vibiral tsveta glaz
I was born without a name, I didn't choose my eye color
Я не мог даже представить этого крика тысячи тел
Ya ne mog dazhe predstavit’ etogo krika tisyachi tel
I couldn't even imagine this scream of a thousand bodies
Но все слова ложь. Это последний раз
No vse slova lozh’. Eto poslednii raz
But all the words are lies. This is the last time
