Прощание С Родиной (Proshchanie S Rodinoi) Lyrics in English by Борис Гребенщиков (Boris Grebenshchikov)
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Прощание С Родиной (Proshchanie S Rodinoi) by Борис Гребенщиков (Boris Grebenshchikov) from Russian to English.
Я прощаюсь со страной, где
Ya proshchayus’ so stranoi, gde
I say goodbye to the country where
Прожил жизнь, не разберу чью
Prozhil zhizn’, ne razberu ch’yu
I lived a life, I can’t tell whose
И в последний раз, пока здесь
I v poslednii raz, poka zdes’
And for the last time while here
Этот воздух, как вино, пью
Etot vozdukh, kak vino, p’yu
I drink this air like wine
А на мне, земля, вины нет
A na mne, zemlya, vini net
And on me, earth, there is no guilt
Я не худший у тебя сын
Ya ne khudshii u tebya sin
I'm not your worst son
Если клином на тебе свет
Yesli klinom na tebe svet
If the light is like a wedge on you
Пусть я сам решу что свет клин
Pust’ ya sam reshu chto svet klin
Let me decide for myself that the light is wedge
Быть жестокой к сыновьям грех
Bit’ zhestokoi k sinov’yam grekh
It's a sin to be cruel to your sons
Если вправду ты для них мать
Yesli vpravdu ti dlya nikh mat’
If you really are their mother
Первый снег, конечно твой снег
Pervii sneg, konechno tvoi sneg
The first snow, of course your snow
Но позволь мне и второй знать
No pozvol’ mne i vtoroi znat’
But let me also know
А любовь к тебе, поверь, есть
A lyubov’ k tebe, pover’, yest’
And believe me, there is love for you
Я и слякоти твоей рад
Ya i slyakoti tvoei rad
I'm glad for your slush too
Но отрава для любви лесть
No otrava dlya lyubvi lest’
But flattery is poison for love
Так зачем, скажи, ты пьешь яд?
Tak zachem, skazhi, ti p’esh’ yad?
So why, tell me, are you drinking poison?
Ты во мне, как я в тебе весь
Ti vo mne, kak ya v tebe ves’
You are in me, as I am all in you
Но не вскрикнет ни один шрам
No ne vskriknet ni odin shram
But not a single scar will cry out
То, что болью прозвенит здесь
To, chto bol’yu prozvenit zdes’
What will ring with pain here
Клеветой прошелестит там
Klevetoi proshelestit tam
Slander will rustle there
Я прощаюсь со страной, где
Ya proshchayus’ so stranoi, gde
I say goodbye to the country where
Прожил жизнь, не разберу чью
Prozhil zhizn’, ne razberu ch’yu
I lived a life, I can’t tell whose
И в последний раз пока здесь
I v poslednii raz poka zdes’
And for the last time here
Этот воздух, как вино, пью
Etot vozdukh, kak vino, p’yu
I drink this air like wine
