Вона

Завтра прийде до кімнати
Твоїх друзів небагато,
Вип'єте холодного вина.
 
Хтось принесе білі айстри,
Скаже хтось — життя прекрасне,
Так, життя прекрасне, а вона...
 
А вона, а вона сидітиме сумна,
Буде пити — не п'яніти від дешевого вина.
Я співатиму для неї, аж бринітиме кришталь,
Та хіба зуміє голос подолати цю печаль.
 
Так вже в світі повелося —
Я люблю її волосся,
Я люблю її тонкі уста.
 
Та невдовзі прийде осінь,
Ми усі розбіжимося
По русифікованих містах.
 
Лиш вона, лиш вона сидітиме сумна,
Буде пити — не п'яніти від дешевого вина.
Моя дівчинко печальна, моя доле золота,
Я продовжую кричати... ніч безмежна і пуста.
 
Translation

She

not today for sure tomorrow
friends will share the joy and sorrow
that's the time to drink some wine and chill
 
some will bring white-petaled asters
life is more than charms to master
yes the life is beautiful and real
 
and she will
and she will
be sitting sad and still
won’t get drunk
from cheap wine drinking
making sense of what is real
I will sing for her and crystals
shall vibrate not knowing how
with my voice in silent distance
overcome this sadness now
 
so it happened God knows where
I love her free flowing hair
I love her thin lips and know them well
 
soon enough the leaves will fall and
we’ll disperse while cities calling
with the voice so Russified like hell
 
so she will
so she will
be sitting sad and still
won’t get drunk
from cheap wine drinking
making sense of what is real
 
oh my little girl with sad eyes
oh my golden fate and rest
I continue with my screaming
for the night is bare and vast

Thank you for reviewing one of my first song translations,.
Not sure about the "future tense" remark - "shall" and "will" - are expressing the future tense.
"crystals" - is a plural noun
Would you kindly point where the definite articles are missed?
I understand your concerns about "vaster" and "thrilled'. Those line should be ended with "..."
but a good point to review it in the future...
Will re-think the "borrowing" as well :)

Thanks again, made some changes... Hopefully it makes more sense now...
not today for sure tomorrow
friends will share the joy and sorrow
that's the time to drink some wine and chill

some will bring white-petaled asters
life is more than charms to master
yes the life is beautiful and real
