Translation

Lanterns

Lines of dim lanterns -

shine down on the sidewalk

with their sleepy eyes.

Rain hisses, and you bathe in silver.

Time to put the guitars down -

our fingers are frozen already!

I try to guess where you are -

and that's really good -

Nothing is banned,

yet I've got nothing to spare.

And if you want that -

that means you're a big boy!

Randomly - along the edges of raindrops,

I track two blocks

and quickly rush home!

You know, I'll rather stay back in September,

Right at the open portal

to the autumn, and bye-bye!

I try to guess where you are -

and that's really good -

Nothing is banned,

yet I've got nothing to spare.

And if you want that -

that means you're a big boy!

Translating songs, songwriting and writing in general is like a medicine, a suppressant for my long-term depression and generally bad luck in my life. Thanks to all of you who watched and read my translations and songs, it means a lot to me. Million thanks to all of you.))
