You're a creature way better than other ones
I am merely a rain on your way
Golden dragons live in your forests
From which I can't get away
And whoever is marked by the sign of your eyes
Won't be able to close his ends
But the sands of Saint Petersburg blow us away
And the prints of our ancient hands And you could be a bow, but who's the shot
If each one is not better than all?
How to pull the trigger, forgotten art How to lay your face in the snow And sometimes your shine can't be borne by eyes But sometimes you're like ashes and dust But the sands of Saint Petersburg blow us away All at once, under this side of glass. And I answered "me"! on your question "who?" Not regarding this as honor, yet And you asked me "where?", I said "with you If there will be anything left" And you asked me "why", and I closed my words Deeply praying for someone's home Then you told me "I'm lying", I said "Let it go Even sweeter for us to be joined" And when curtain of day got finally torn Our horses went dancing at once Among fire and water, and among earth They completely abandoned us 'Cause your shining is just as good as my words Not more stable than water wells But they asked me "are you alive at all?" And I said "if with her, than yes!" I only wish it was my own poem. It is my translation though. But the original was written by BG. But I feel lyrical and anyway when you translate it almost becomes yours. That's all.
