Original lyrics
Рассыпающая звезды
Не всегда чужда ты и горда
И меня не хочешь не всегда,
Тихо, тихо, нежно, как во сне,
Иногда приходишь ты ко мне.
Надо лбом твоим густая прядь,
Мне нельзя ее поцеловать,
И глаза большие зажжены
Светами магической луны.
Нежный друг мой, беспощадный враг,
Так благословен твой каждый шаг,
Словно по сердцу ступаешь ты,
Рассыпая звезды и цветы.
Я не знаю, где ты их взяла,
Только отчего ты так светла
И тому, кто мог с тобой побыть,
На земле уж нечего любить?

Translation
She Who Scatters The Stars
You're not always haughty and estranged,
Your desire for me stays unchanged,
Calmly, softly, gently, as in dream,
You, like vision, sometimes come to me.
Braided strand is on your forehead tanned,
I am not allowed to kiss this strand,
Your large eyes are kindled not too soon
By the light of magic crescent moon.
Tender friend of mine, my ruthless foe,
Every step of yours is blessed, as though
You tread on my heart and leave no scars,
When you scatter flowers and bright stars.
I don't know from where you got them,
Only why are you so bright like gem,
And for someone who could be with you,
Nothing's left to love on Earth anew?
Thanks! ❤ | ||

I realize that pressing "Thanks"
is really hard for most of you, yet
you should keep on trying...
