Where Are These Winter
Heat and in cold
I come back to my old town as to my youth
Everything that was here earlier
And everything that was have earlier
And everything that remained
Is dear to me I love all this
Where are those winters where are those springs
Where are that garden with a bench
And that house in the meadow
Where ear that chamomile field with early dew
And my mother's smile that I cannot forget
The land of dear clear dawns
The land of the first passing love
Of many riddles and many solutions
My dear motherland I wish you would live forever
Where are those winters where are those springs
Where are that garden with a bench
And that house in the meadow
Where are that chamomile field with early dew
And my mother's smile that I cannot forget

And my mother's smile that I cannot forget

My Beloved Motherland
The long awaited shore has finally heaved in sight
The far seas have been left behind
Good day my beloved singed saint Motherland
You were always a boundless ocean
A quiet river that I have remembered since my childhood
Lermontov's sail in a fog
And pushkin's selected verses
I have seen all kingdoms and states
Andn I have passed through all lands and seas
In order to say you today
Hello hello
My beloved motherland
You were like the only girl all over the world
With a golden blond plait
And in a fine dress made of the sun light
And sprinkled with an early dew in the meadow
I have seen all kingdoms and states
And I have passed through all lands and seas
In order to say you today

Alms
Winter a snow storm
The snow is falling in large flakes
And a strong wind is blowing
At the temple entrance
She is standing with a crutch waiting for alms
She is barefooted both in summer and in winter
Please give her alms
You know twenty years age
This old woman was a poet's dream
And the fame twined a wreath for her
When she was singing on the stage
Paris was enchanted with her
She was unrivalled
Please give her alms
It often happened that the crowd
Didn't let her go after the performance
And the delighted young people shouted loudly bravo
As she passed by
The circle of her guests praised her gencrously
In happiness everybody is our friend
But in trouble these friends disappear
The saint will of providencd
The artise became ill
And lost her voice and eyesight
Today she lives by begging
Earlier beggars often used to come to her
For asking for alms
And today she is ashamed of begging you
Please give her alms

Millions of years from those invisible and unknown
Thought loving and thinking planets
Maybe there is no blood in their veins
And they are awarded prized for loving
For a circle of invisible unknown friends
And fraternity of the existing worlds

Friendship(Duet with grandpa)
My friend when you caress me
With a simple and tender look
An uncommon colored pattern
Flashes across the ground and the sky
I'm always ready to share the joy time
And the pain of parting with you
Let's squeeze our hands
And set for years
We are so close friends
That need no words to retell to each other
That out tenderness and our friendship
Are stronger than passion
And are greater than love
The joy time will come to us again
You will come back
And then we'll pledge honor to each other
To be tighter forever
With a simple and tender look
An uncommon colored pattern
Flashes across the ground and the sky
I'm always ready to share the joy time
And the pain of parting with you
Let's squeeze our hands
And set for years
We are so close friends
That need no words to retell to each other
That out tenderness and our friendship
Are stronger than passion
And are greater than love
The joy time will come to us again
You will come back
And then we'll pledge honor to each other
To be tighter forever
An Autumn Leaf
The world has broken up into thousands of pieces
Only emptiness was left in the eyes
My soul feels as if it were pricked by needles
Where did the Beauty disappear?
I am torn by melancholy
I am shattered to pieces
Like an autumn leaf in the wind
I'm playing a strange game
Like an autumn leaf in the wind
I'll erase myself from the memory
Scraps of incomprehensible thoughts
About someone who is very lonely
Are flowing around me in a stream
Striking me as if by electric discharge
I am torn by melancholy
I am shattered to pieces
Like an autumn leaf in the wind
I'm playing a strange game
Like an autumn leaf in the wind
I'll erase myself from the memory
Only emptiness was left in the eyes
My soul feels as if it were pricked by needles
Where did the Beauty disappear?
I am torn by melancholy
I am shattered to pieces
Like an autumn leaf in the wind
I'm playing a strange game
Like an autumn leaf in the wind
I'll erase myself from the memory
Scraps of incomprehensible thoughts

Are flowing around me in a stream
Striking me as if by electric discharge

Through The Years
I am thinking of you all the time
But to fulfil my obligation
I had to leave and you had to stay
We were separated by circumstances
You are far away and for many months
We haven't seen each other
But there will be no hard feelings
When we talk over the phone late at night
We are far away from each other
Like two planets up in the sky...
Miles of stinging anguish
Separate us...
Through the years and misfortunes
Through the storms and snowfalls
I remember your farewell gaze
I am so tired of feeling lonely
Listening to your voice over the wires
But I don't want anybody else
You are the best one in the world
We are far away from each other
Like two planets up in the sky...
Miles of stinging anguish
Separate us...
Through the years and misfortunes
Through the storms and snowfalls
I remember your farewell gaze
We are far away from each other
Like two planets up in the sky...
Miles of stinging anguish
Separate us...
Through the years and misfortunes
Through the storms and snowfalls

Through the years and misfortunes
Through the storms and snowfalls
I remember your farewell gaze
The Birds Have Flown Away
When the lime-trees lose their leaves
Into an autumn's slanting sunset
The cranes will fly to the south
Through all the lament and sobbing...
There is an evening smoke
Creeping at an autumn day's sunset...
They fly losing feathers above their motherland
But still they cannot see me...
No matter that the birds have flown away
And a dull dawn is burning behind the window...
What we haven't yet finished singing
We'll sing to the end later...
It seems I can hear your ringing voice
You are young, you are in love...
My heart burst out into verses
Making me feel excited again...
The soul won't avoid being chased
Passion won't be satisfied
And the red horses are trying
To float slowly up in the sky...
No matter that the birds have flown away
And a dull dawn is burning behind the window...
What we haven't yet finished singing
We'll sing to the end later...
No matter that the birds have flown away
And a dull dawn is burning behind the window...
What we haven't yet finished singing
We'll sing to the end later...

My God, How Much I Love
Who created you to cause trouble to me?
I got used to pain but I can't bear lies
Your lips are burning with intoxicating words
But love's gonna freeze in your heart
My God, how much I love - I shout to the sky
But the winds blow my feelings off the face
Like a raven at night, I'll peck myself to death
Declaration of love is nothing but words, isn't it?
If it were not you who were sending me away
I could leave keeping unanswered love in my heart
But the Fate makes me come back again and again
Falling under the spell of your burning words
My God, how much I love - I shout to the sky
But the winds blow my feelings off the face
Like a raven at night, I'll peck myself to death
Declaration of love is nothing but words, isn't it?
I got used to pain but I can't bear lies

Pigtails
My little girl, you are so beautiful
Before going to bed we read tales together
But the one I loved is not here any more
And I'll have to love you for both mum and dad
The happiness was left on our old photos
Our love used to be a big and true one
I'm glad that you have no memories of that coldness
And other people's voices in our dear home
In the morning I plait your pigtails
It became my habit and I mastered this skill
I'll have to learn much more myself
And then teach you what I've learned
My little girl, you are so beautiful
My caress is still quite enough for you
But soon you'll start asking questions
And perhaps you'll grow up quicker than others
Everything was split into "before" and "after"
Living without her won't be easy for us
And time widens the gap between us
But I have an angel with her features by my side
In the morning I plait your pigtails
It became my habit and I mastered this skill
I'll have to learn much more myself
And then teach you what I've learned
In the morning I plait your pigtails
It became my habit and I mastered this skill
I'll have to learn much more myself

Even Stars Will Look Like Letters /Insomnia
Your dear nestling flew away from you
But this decision was taken by Fate, not by me
And it turns out that you are left all alone
And keep on waiting for a letter from your son
And insomnia will knock at your door
Full of alarming thoughts as always
And then even stars outside the night window
Will look like letters to you
You will be telling my news again and again
To all your neighbours and friends
And your smile will shyly hide your sadness
Scratching in your soul every night like a kitten
And insomnia will knock at your door
Full of alarming thoughts as always
And then even stars outside the night window
Will look like letters to you
Please forgive me for adding grey colour to your hair
I am ready to apologize all my life
It is not songs that I dedicate to you
I am dedicating you my love
And insomnia will knock at your door
Full of alarming thoughts as always
And then even stars outside the night window
Will look like letters to you
But this decision was taken by Fate, not by me
And it turns out that you are left all alone
And keep on waiting for a letter from your son
And insomnia will knock at your door
Full of alarming thoughts as always
And then even stars outside the night window
Will look like letters to you
You will be telling my news again and again
To all your neighbours and friends
And your smile will shyly hide your sadness
Scratching in your soul every night like a kitten
And insomnia will knock at your door
Full of alarming thoughts as always
And then even stars outside the night window
Will look like letters to you
Please forgive me for adding grey colour to your hair
I am ready to apologize all my life
It is not songs that I dedicate to you
I am dedicating you my love
And insomnia will knock at your door
Full of alarming thoughts as always
And then even stars outside the night window
Will look like letters to you
Wait For A While
Somewhere far away in another country
Where no one remembers me any more
There I left my love
And now dream of it again and again
Somewhere far away in another land
Where you left your love
We see one and the same dream
And our hearts keep on beating in unison
Wait for a while and I'll find the way
I want to be with you as before
Wait for a while and I'll find the way
To link our two souls together
Somewhere far away in another country
Please keep thinking of me all the time
Don't be in a hurry to forget me
Our two souls became one, you know
Wait for a while and I'll find the way
I want to be with you as before
Wait for a while and I'll find the way
To link our two souls together
Where no one remembers me any more
There I left my love
And now dream of it again and again
Somewhere far away in another land
Where you left your love
We see one and the same dream
And our hearts keep on beating in unison
Wait for a while and I'll find the way
I want to be with you as before
Wait for a while and I'll find the way
To link our two souls together
Somewhere far away in another country
Please keep thinking of me all the time
Don't be in a hurry to forget me
Our two souls became one, you know
Wait for a while and I'll find the way
I want to be with you as before
Wait for a while and I'll find the way
To link our two souls together
Love While You Are Up To It
There should be no advising in love
Lovers can settle things themselves
That's why I am singing my song
With such a refrain.
Love while you are up to it
Be jealous while you're up to it
Suffer while you're up to it
Dream while you are up to it
If someone has been abandoned
Don't you show your compassion
Offences come and go
And we are to fight for happiness again
Love while you are up to it
Be jealous while you're up to it
Suffer while you're up to it
Dream while you are up to it
I am singing nothing but truisms
And of course everyone knows them
That's why my heart
Sincerely repeats the same refrain.
Love while you are up to it
Be jealous while you're up to it

Love while you are up to it

Kings Can Do Everything
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
There was a king
He ruled his country and his people
The best way he could
His name was Louis the Second
His name was Louis the Second
But this song is not about him
It's about love
In those days
There was one beauty
Who grazed geese
At the walls of the palace
But for Louis himself
She was the sweetest one
And he decided to marry her
Kings can do everything
Kings can do everything
And sometimes they control
The fates of the whole world
Say what you like
But not a single king
Can marry for love
Not a single king
Can marry for love
"I"ll marry her, I'll marry her
I'll marry her", Louis said
But the kings gathered up
From neighbouring kingdoms
What a scandal it was!
What a scandal it was!
But this song is not about it
It's about love
So Louis got married
To another girl
Of the royal blood she was
But if you could see
The portrait of that princess
You surely wouldn't envy Louis
Kings can do everything
Kings can do everything
And sometimes they control
The fates of the whole world
Say what you like
But not a single king
Can marry for love
Not a single king
Can marry for love
Kings can do everything
Kings can do everything
And sometimes they control
The fates of the whole world
Say what you like

Fortune-Teller
Fashion is constantly changing
But as long as the world exists
The Gypsy with an old pack of cards
Will have at least one client...
Someone longing for bizarre miracles
Will knock on her door
And she will lay out in front of him
Those noble kings of hers...
What can I say? What can I say?
All humans are just like this -
They want to know, want to know
Want to know the future
What can I say? What can I say?
All humans are just like this -
They want to know, want to know
Want to know the future
Card-reading can foretell happiness
Or an unexpected blow of fate
Imprisonment and a long journey
Or everlasting faithful love...
Old cards will spread out like a fan
On a shawl decorated with fringe
And suddenly the Gypsy herself
Will believe her noble kings...
What can I say? What can I say?
All humans are just like this -
They want to know, want to know
Want to know the future
What can I say? What can I say?
All humans are just like this -
They want to know, want to know
Want to know the future
Time destroys granite castles
And covers towns with sand
But years don't mean anything
For those cards in the Gypsy's hands...
The heart melts as the fortune-teller speaks
And at all the crossroads of the world
The noble kings are telling lies
With the same expression on their faces...
What can I say? What can I say?

Bouquet
I'll be riding my bicycle hard and long
Stop it somewhere in the dense meadows...
I'll pick flowers and give a bouquet
To the girl I love
I'll pick flowers and give a bouquet
To the girl I love
I'll tell her: "Dating with someone else
You've forgotten our rendezvouses
So please take these modest flowers
To keep me in your memory
So please take these modest flowers
To keep me in your memory"
She will take them but late in the evening
When fog and sadness get thicker
She will pass by keeping her eyes down
Without a hint of a smile. But I don't mind it
She will pass by keeping her eyes down
Without a hint of a smile. But I don't mind it
I'll be riding my bicycle hard and long
Stop it somewhere in the dense meadows...
I just want the girl I love
To take my bouquet
I just want the girl I love
To take my bouquet
Stop it somewhere in the dense meadows...
I'll pick flowers and give a bouquet
To the girl I love

A Sea Song
I used to go sailing on the ships
Wandered in all the seas and rode out storms...
I've been to any port and any harbour
But everywhere I was missing my home
Everywhere I was missing my home
I ate bananas and drank coffee on Martinique
Smoked nasty tobaccos in Istanbul
In Cairo I chewed dates out of boredom
To my mind, they have a bitter taste
Far away from home they have a bitter taste
No, I don't fancy far-away beauty...
I used to wander in foreign lands for many days
But didn't leave there a tiny bit of my soul
All of it is for my Nastya, Nastyenka
It's all for my dear Nastyenka
On finishing my long-distance sails
I used to kiss the granite of the wharves
In my native Crimea and in Vladivostok I'm in tears
Just like on the distant Kuril Islands
On the most distant of our islands
Wandered in all the seas and rode out storms...
I've been to any port and any harbour
But everywhere I was missing my home
Everywhere I was missing my home
I ate bananas and drank coffee on Martinique
Smoked nasty tobaccos in Istanbul
In Cairo I chewed dates out of boredom
To my mind, they have a bitter taste
Far away from home they have a bitter taste
No, I don't fancy far-away beauty...
I used to wander in foreign lands for many days
But didn't leave there a tiny bit of my soul
All of it is for my Nastya, Nastyenka
It's all for my dear Nastyenka
On finishing my long-distance sails
I used to kiss the granite of the wharves
In my native Crimea and in Vladivostok I'm in tears
Just like on the distant Kuril Islands
On the most distant of our islands
The Speaking Doll
I am under the glass in a shop-window
Looking through the window on a rainy day
I never take my glassy eyes off that picture
Everyone just passes by but one little girl
Says: "What a sad toy!
Daddy, Daddy, please
Daddy, Daddy, please
Give me this doll, dear Daddy
Daddy, Daddy, please
Daddy, Daddy, please
Give me this doll, dear Daddy"
It was raining outside all night long
The winds were playing the chimney
I dreamed that father and daughter
Were taking me along to their home
In the morning my dream came true
Father and his little gaughter turned up again
"Daddy, Daddy, please
Daddy, Daddy, please
Give me this doll, dear Daddy
Daddy, Daddy, please
Daddy, Daddy, please
Give me this doll, dear Daddy"
Oh, I'm going to be happy now!
They'll take me along, my dreams came true
How nice it can be
When someone else needs you!
The girl is cheerfully laughing outside
This child has a simple reason to be happy
"Daddy has given
Daddy has given
Daddy has given me this doll!
Daddy has given
Daddy has given
Daddy has given me this doll!"

The Chrysanthemums Have Faded
In the garden where I met you
Your favourite shrub of chrysanthemums burst into bloom
And in my soul a bright feeling
Of tender love came into blossom.
The chrysanthemums in the garden faded long ago
But the love is still alive in my aching heart.
Our garden is abandoned and you are gone,
I am strolling alone totally worn out
And tears suddenly run down my face
When I come near the faded shrub of chrysanthemums.
The chrysanthemums in the garden faded long ago
But the love is still alive in my aching heart.

Bitter Honey
It's all over. I'm separating you from me
It's all over. I'm breaking myself of you
Breaking myself of our dates
Not meeting you at 5 sharp any more
Breaking myself of your shoulders
And of your plaits
I don't wanna love to become humiliation
I'll forget you, surely I will
You are bringing me trouble
You are driving me crazy
But how can I leave
If you gonna stay?
Breaking myself of your hands
Of your lips and your glances
Of misfortunes and tortures...
Enough, I don't want them any more
No one can perceive them
And no one will pay
Your honey is much too bitter
That will do, it's all over...
I don't wanna love to become humiliation
I'll forget you, surely I will
You are bringing me trouble
You are driving me crazy
But how can I leave
If you gonna stay?
I don't wanna love to become humiliation

The Gypsy Goes Further On...
A shaggy bumble-bee is drawn by sweet-scented hops
A grey heron makes its way to the reed...
And the Gypsy's daughter rushes into the night after her lover
Since their souls of vagrants are kindred ones
Let's set forward and the Gypsy nomadic star
Will guide us to a sunset with flickering sails
Where one's eyes are full of homeless despair
Looking up into crimson skies...
The two of them will go to meet their fate
No matter whether it's hell or paradise
One should make one's way without any fear
To the world's end and even further on
Let's set forward and the Gypsy nomadic star
Will guide us to meet a dawn in the east
Where pinkish waves - so quiet and tender -
Are creeping up onto the sand at daybreak...
Let's set forward and the Gypsy nomadic star
Will guide us to roaring southern latitudes
Where a violent storm like God's broom
Is sweeping away the ocean's spray...
Let's set forward and the Gypsy nomadic star

Odessa
Odessa used to be famous for fountains,
Gobies and sea captains
You can ask sailors about it
But don't dare to speak for gobies
In any place where something is carried on
You can't do without Odessa citizens
When Hollywood shoots a wedding
Forshmak is delivered from the Tenth Station
Movies are shot in Deribassovskaya Street
Since Odessa has lots of beautiful girls
You and I - we are both here
And so is my Myasoyedovskaya Street
The public in Odessa is so brill
You can hardly shoot a mass scene here
Since our city is not that simple
It consists of only film stars
Movies are shot in Deribassovskaya Street
Since Odessa has lots of beautiful girls
You and I - we are both here
And so is my Myasoyedovskaya Street
Discovering America instead of Odessa
Columbus went off into hysterics
But they say that all his life
He suspected it to be Longeron
Movies are shot in Deribassovskaya Street
Since Odessa has lots of beautiful girls
You and I - we are both here
And so is my Myasoyedovskaya Street

Don't Be Silent So Loudly
Don't be silent so loudly
You'd better shout for the whole house to hear you
Let the bricks and window-panes rain down
Just don't be silent or I'll become deaf
Kick your ball to hit my goal
That you left me long ago
Whisper me that summer is over
But don't keep silence about it
Don't be silent so loudly
You'd better shout for the whole town to hear you.
I will blow up to pieces like a bomb
But who cares? Just don't be silent!
People speak eye-to-eye
When there is nothing more to say
Let the bricks and window-panes rain down
Just don't be silent or I'll become deaf
Don't be silent so loudly
You'd better shout for the whole town to hear you
I will blow up to pieces like a bomb
But who cares? Just don't be silent!

Unlucky
Tough luck... You said you don't love me
And turned my cheerful life into gloom
Nothing matters in this world except "l'amour"
Tough luck... The plane won't take me to Paris
The Parisians say: "C'est la vie"...
Oh, Parisians, how can I live without love?
What a misfortune! I am unlucky
I am fighting with myself
But you can disperse all the clouds
And I'll become the toughest guy
If only you give me back your love
Don't hurry! Tell me the meaning of "tough luck"!
Can it be just fate and nothing more?
Just that awful bloody fate?..
What a misfortune! I am unlucky
I am fighting with myself
But you can disperse all the clouds
And I'll become the toughest guy
If only you give me back your love
And turned my cheerful life into gloom
Nothing matters in this world except "l'amour"
Tough luck... The plane won't take me to Paris

Night In Half, Day In Half
Night in half, day in half
Do you hear, I won't give you to anyone
Night for two, day for two
Going crazy of love's height... alone
Day and night... all slantwise
Time, thoughts, dates... only you
Alone... whether you run or not
From enchantment of love
You or me... who is the first to say
Who created you for me?
Night in half, day in half
Do you hear, I won't give you to anyone
Night for two, day for two
Night in half, day in half
Do you hear, I won't give you to anyone
Night for two, day for two
Going mad of long-awaited words of love
Day and night... through phone lines
Dreams and cities
Running away is not escaping from you
Words fail to describe it
You or me... who will be the first
To fall down from heaven
Not hiding one's feelings?
Night in half, day in half

Heartbeat
Com... com... telecom...
The heartbeat of my phone caller...
Lines, bee-lines, pointers and nils...
The fate of attraction was determined by stars in the sky
Not by us - what a pity it is!
The round planet is flying and spinning,
Let's mix it up and meet on Saturday!
Clouds, thunder and
Storms all at once
Are better than nervous waiting
By a phone ring.
Read me by a pager,
By a phone's syllable,
By fax, by e-mail.
Com... com... telecom...
All is complex and simple.
Secrets, questions...
The hieroglyph of love
Is not to be solved.
The weapon of hands.
Ring me up some time!
My planets and comets
Will miss you a little bit.
The heartbeat of my phone caller.
Important or not - you should answer.
The fate of attraction was devised by people,
Astrologers here on Earth.
And people confuse - when we meet
Will you be a Virgo or a Bear?

Storms all at once

Dressed In Shorts And T-Shirt
Big white flowers stood in vases
The punks were singing
You turned up out of my dream
It was the Gypsy's prediction come true
Big white flowers stood in vases
The punks were singing
I turned on the antifog headlights
To make you look less foggy
Dressed in shorts and T-shirt
You are screwing on your nuts
But the flame of love and tenderness
Is still burning inside me
Dressed in shorts and T-shirt
You are screwing on your nuts
But if you come up to me
And send me an inviting glance
You'll find yourself in a fairy-tale
Big white love was leaving slush on my heart
Again and again I wanted to hug you, love you and weep
Big white flowers stood in vases
The punks were singing
You fell victim to beauty
And licked the wounds of your soul
Dressed in shorts and T-shirt
You are screwing on your nuts
But the flame of love and tenderness
Is still burning inside me
Dressed in shorts and T-shirt
You are screwing on your nuts

Streets Of The Capital
In the streets of the capital
Lights, buildings and faces
Were flashing by before her eyes...
In the streets of the capital
One can see what he's never dreamed of...
Everything here is alien to her
Alien and unfamiliar...
Streets, streets, streets of the capital...
It's not a place for decent girls to walk
Streets, streets, streets of the capital...
Hey, girlies, why don't you just stay home?..
In the streets of the capital
Love comes to us only in dreams
All the rest is just a joke...
Acquaintances that won't last long...
In the streets of the capital
One shouldn't make haste
Since after a couple of dates
It's time to say "good-bye"
Streets, streets, streets of the capital...
It's not a place for decent girls to walk
Streets, streets, streets of the capital...
Hey, girlies, why don't you just stay home?..

I Believe In Love
Though I have no luck today
I know it will be over
Even if you were wrong
I will whisper you these words:
"I believe that anyone can love
I believe and no words are needed
I believe in love, believe in dreaming
These are the fruits of my fairy-tale dreams".
Then my soul will be relieved
And on this warm and tender evening
With a shadow of a smile on my face
I will wisper you these words:
"I believe that anyone can love
I believe and no words are needed
I believe in love, believe in dreaming
These are the fruits of my fairy-tale dreams".
"I believe that anyone can love
