That is All
Blanched window leaves
Overgrow with clear water.
Water has no death, no bottom.
I'm saying goodbye to you.
A handful of warmth after long winter -
We'll keep safe. Five minutes till the morning -
We'll live. Our sea of guilt
Is devoured by the hole of time.
That is all that will remain after I'm gone,
That is all that I'm taking with me.
Memory sits by the table with us,
In her hand is a candle's flame.
You were so sweet,
Look at me, don't be silent.
A seagull's cries against a white wall
Are encircled by a black moon.
Paint something on the window
And whisper something river-like for a farewell.
That is all that will remain after I'm gone,
That is all that I'm taking with me.
Two dreams and a glass of sorrow
We, when revived, drank in full.
I don't know why I was given to you.
I am ruled by the moon-road.
Don't you cry, if you can - forgive.
Life - isn't sugar, and death - isn't tea.
I must carry my own road.
So long, friend, and goodbye!
That is all that will remain after I'm gone,
That is all that I'm taking with me.
That is all...

Do some of the lines of this song make absolutely no sense in Russian as well? For example, "Blanched window leaves" feels like someone just randomly chose 3 unrelated words from a dictionary. Windows don't have leaves. I can't even begin to picture what that could mean or look like. Many of the lyrics feel very deep and metaphorical, but then occasionally this song seems to lose even that and just become random word salad.
Russia is waging a disgraceful war on Ukraine. Stand With Ukraine!

А почему не: "That is all that I will take with me"?
Ведь речь о будущем. Когда автор отчалит в мир иной, то "возьмет с собой" и "оставит после себя" парадоксальным образом одно и то же.
