English

In the silence of the night,

Our tired eyes burn bright,

How hard it is for you and me

To make the world what it used to be.

 

Ringing rivers by the woods,

Sighing forests by the lakes,

Humans haven’t understood,

Burning life in their mistakes.

 

Native caves are cooling down,

Losing order, comfort, charm,

And new minds in crowded towns

Forge their chains, to our alarm.

 

No more wild and fearsome packs,

All nocturnal shrines are gone,

Alien deathland giving cracks,

Lifeless strongholds save no one.

 

But in darkness of my heart,

Burning fire is still alive.

My night is mixing up with light,

My day with starry blackness rife.

 

While I’m staying here with you,

Shimmering of stars will reach,

And between times, old and new,

I will build a sturdy bridge.

 

Decorate this world I will

With a pinch of years gone by,

So that friends remember still

What they’ve promised me and why.

 

I will mark the path of truth,

And I’ll spread my leather wings,

We can’t bring back our world,

So the new one’s to begin.

Russian

Вспоминания Лесных

Горят в тиши ночной

Усталые глаза.

Как трудно нам с тобой

Вернуть наш мир назад…

 

Теперь звенящих рек

И леса у озёр

Не любит человек,

Бросая жизнь в костёр.

 

Остыл родных пещер

Порядок и уют,

А новые умы

Оковы нам куют.

 

Нет больше диких стай,

И нет ночных святынь.

Чужим стал этот край

Безжизненных твердынь.

 

Но в сердце у меня

Ещё горит огонь –

Смешенье ночи дня

И светлости ночной.

 

И вот пока я здесь –

Не стихнет трепет звёзд,

А между всех времён

Сооружу я мост.

 

Украшу этот мир

Щепоткой прошлых лет,

Чтоб добрые друзья

Хранили свой обет.

 

Намечу верный Путь,

И крылья распахну –

Тот мир нам не вернуть,

Сначала я начну.
