A Funeral Rhapsody in Memory of General Bem (Mourner's Rhapsody

Latin: The oath given to father I have kept even unto this day*
 
I
 
- Why ride away, Shadow, hands broken on the mail,
Sparks of torches playing around your knees -?
The laurel-green sword is spattered with candle tears,
The falcon strains, your horse jerks its foot like a dancer.
- Pennons in the wind blow against each other
Like moving tents of nomad armies in the sky.
Long trumpets shake in sobbing and banners
Bow their wings which droop from above
Like spear-pierced dragons, lizards and birds...
Like the many ideas you caught with your spear...
II
Mourning maidens go, some lifting their arms
Filled with scent-sheaves torn apart by the wind

This World is Strange

Versions: #2
This world is strange
As it’s still
Filled with much evil
And it’s strange
That for so many years
A human despises another human being
 
This world is strange
The world of human affairs
And sometimes it’s a shame to admit
But it happens often
That someone kills
With a bad word as if with a knife
 
But the people of good will are the majority
And I believe deeply
That this world
Won’t never die, thanks to tchem
No, no, no!
The time has come
It’s high time
To destroy the hatred within us
 
But the people of good will are the majority
And I believe deeply
That this world
Won’t never die, thanks to tchem
No, no, no!
The time has come
It’s high time
To destroy the hatred within us
 

The Unneeded

We do not need each other these days
We measure our years together with disappointments
We do not want to believe
That our love is a dream right now
 
The taste of uneasiness is in every new day
And feeble shadow of old attachment trembles
When from the suddenly strange face,
Your dreamy eyes look at me again
 
I am still here, you are too
in a year, the life will wipe the tears of regret
Only sometimes in the vortex of years
The heart will find the trace of memory
 
We lacked maturity during difficult grey days
We lacked understanding for those few flaws
We still do not want to believe, do not want to believe
That our love is a dream right now
 
We do not need each other these days
We measure our years together with disappointments
We do not want to believe, do not want to believe
That our love is a dream right now
 
The taste of uneasiness is in every new day
And feeble shadow of old attachment trembles
When from the suddenly unfamiliar face,
Your dreamy eyes look at me again
 
We lacked maturity during difficult grey days
We lacked understanding for those few flaws
We still do not want to believe, do not want to believe
That our love is a dream right now
 
We lacked maturity
We lacked maturity
We lacked maturity
 

The longest night

Hey, all night I was standing at the seashore,
About you, my beloved, the waves were talking with me,
Hey, they were asking me why you were not there
And I couldn't answer 'cause even I don't know.
Hey, puzzled moon in the shape of a question mark,
tossed by a sad wave, was bowing to me.
 
I remember your carefree laughter
When it sounded here together with mine.
Why doesn't the seashore
see us together anymore now?
 
Hey, all night I was standing at the seashore,
Silvery-white stars were asking me about you,
Hey, where are you and your colourful dress
And I couldn't reply a single word.
Hey, my eyes were looking out for you,
This was perhaps the longest night of all nights.
 
A distant voice, a shadow near,
A quiet rhythm of belated footsteps
Were waking me up until dawn
Telling me that you were coming to me.
 
Hey, my eyes were looking out for you,
This was perhaps the longest night of all nights,
Hey, my eyes were looking out for you,
Hey, my eyes were looking out for you.
 

Allilah

Allilah
Allilah is the name of this girl
And in her eyes I can see my Azerbaijan
 
Her father told me to go down to the valleys
Her eyes were chasing me seven years
Even today when I'm alone I still
Remember that they stayed somewhere there
 
I carry anxiety deep in my heart
I can't forget those moments
When first time dazzled by the light of her eyes
I felt their warmth at the bottom of my soul
 
High in the mountains, an old aul1 is sleeping
In dark lakes, the moon is sleeping with it
But I will take its silver sickle out of the depths
I will bring it to the girl when this day will come
 
Allilah, I'm waiting at the crossroads
I will come back for sure if God helps me
I will saddle wind and unerringly I will get to the place
Where Allilah's eyes and Azerbaijan are
 
Allilah
 

• 1. aul is a type of fortified village found throughout the Caucasus mountains

There are so many ways

In the place where the wind sings a song,
Plays willows like strings,
There is an old tract.
Where it leads you?
Where this distant way ends?
I will be going although there's no signpost
'Cause a vagabond leads me: the wind.
 
Parlando:
There are so many ways in the world,
All are bendy,
They entangle the Earth like a spider web,
Without signposts,
With signposts,
Which one should I choose?
 
I will go where the wind
Shows a vagabond trail
'Cause only the wind knows best
Where the way without aim ends.
I will go alone although there's no signpost
'Cause a vagabond leads me: the wind.
 

The birth of love

Our love is being born
Among the greenery and lilacs
Among the greenery and lilacs
It will not lose the way anymore
 
Your voice, your laughter, your laughter
I hear them so often every day
That today I already know, already know
What the days will bring to us
 
Our love is getting mature
In the singing of birds and grasses
In the rain of the leaves from the trees that
Has fallen straight from the sky to us
 
And today somebody
Will bind our hands so that nobody
Will, nobody will
Separate our hands anymore
 
Our love at the time of storms
When it will be buried by the wind
Nothing will be left, will be left of it
Except for lost years
 
'Cause today nobody
Wants to bind our hands anymore
'Cause nothing in us remained
From those days
 

Tramp

Where Baikal from the sea here goes
Through the snow, storm and night
Walks hunched over tramp
Heaving cursed his fate
 
To shore of Lake Baikal approaches
Family remembers your home
Last ounce of strength getting into the boat
On the paddle clamped his hand
 
Flows, someone came out to meet him
Someone is waiting on a heart already guessed
Oh, hello my dearest mother
Is healthy my father and brother
 
Where Baikal from the sea here goes
Through the snow, storm and night
He walked hunched over tramp
Heaving cursed his fate
 
He walked hunched over tramp
Heaving cursed his fate
 

Burning Barn

They say burning a barn burns to fear until the chicken out of it
Cracks all around the walls and the roof hot that hey
Run it there a waste of time, because
barn on fire and some people in it are,
Soltys probably already called almost half the village, and help you.
Burning barn, the alarm continues, we are at the bottom.
Why should I take the bagpipe bellows?
 
So grab a bucket in his hand as I run out of breath and I can see there at:
Burning eyes and temples, playing with the crowd, perhaps a hundred pairs,
This mayor his daughter in marriage today given
Wife burns to the groom - a splendid fellow.
Lacked space in the home, father and father in law wanted to accommodate village -
In his barn took the ball, and I danced ....
Yes, they can burn the barn every day ...

Kneeling in front of you

It's you, only you
You know what I see today, when I, when I close my eyes
You have , you have the power to, to charm me
Only you can move the way that I chose
 
It's you, only you
You have a mouth, which for so many years, so many years I was looking for
Why don't you want to believe me, or maybe it's not enough?
That kneeling in front of you confess these words, I confess
 
It's you, only you
You know, you had a long night crying
You know, even thought they never, never confessed
It is you, for you I will find peace in the midst of the storm
 
It's you, only you
I come to you with my solitude, my solitude back
Why do not you want to believe me, or maybe it's not enough?
That kneeling in front of you confess these words, I confess
 
It's you, only you
Waiting for you a place where no one will find us
Where do you go with me, you have to go and stay there
It is you, can you help me when you're close
 
It's you, only you
You know my thoughts, you know my thoughts, my thoughts all
Please, believe me, believe me, I love you
I knelt in front of you these words, I confess, I confess
 
It's you ...
 

Success

You are a Wonder Flower
Among the misty meadows
A true most dedicated guardian
An angel ,devil and soul inspiration
My beautiful and the only success
Success –the word has got unique meaning for me:
To succeed means embrace You with my arms
Forget about the world around
And listen to the crazy beat of heart
Success for many mean fortune
Whereas with me of all the things
My love,my success ,that is You….
 

This fate, bad fate

It was walking with me through all days
Bad fate
And it loved me like like nobody else
Bad fate
 
It was bringing bad news all the time
And it was leading me by the nose
It was leading me to wrong paths
This fate, bad fate, bad fate
 
It was whipping my face with wind all the time
Bad fate
It was changing day into a dark night
Bad fate
 
And maybe it was mocking me
'Cause one day, to spite me,
Bad fate gave me you
This fate, bad fate, bad fate
 
And since that time, it has been bringing me happiness
Bad fate
With you - my faithful friend
Bad fate
 
It seems the fate
Wanted me to still be with you
'Cause the fate gave me you
This fate, bad fate, bad fate
 

You'll never know

Because of you, I don't sleep at nights,
And you don't even know about it.
And I am still alone with my thoughts,
All alone.
 
The world loses its charm without you,
And perhaps you don't know about it either.
But this will remain to be my secret for sure,
I know the situation will remain as it is.
I will keep it to myself, I will never tell you about this.
 
I saw the smile with which
You kissed another man once.
And this is how I lost the meaning, the whole meaning of my days.
 
This is how in a dark night until morning,
I was left alone with my thoughts for a long time.
And you will never even know about my existence
The things I have in my heart I will keep to myself,
I will never tell you about this.
 

What I Love The Most

There is something
Something I love most
Something that
time has drifted me away from
 
But with my thoughts
I come back most often
to childish games
And to the past years
 
There is a land, far away
Behind it are fields and a forest
And behind the forest
There, by the river
Flowers grow in the spring
These which
I will never
Never see again
 
There is a lot of memories, which
Time hasn't broken
But none of them
Comes back like that one
 
There is a land, far away
Behind it are fields and a forest
And behind the forest
There, by the river were
Were flowers
Which are long gone
Are gone, are gone
For me they are gone
 
There, among the flowers
I left memories
Which i will never
I will never forget
 

Where is it?

Where is the thing that everybody calls hapiness?
Where is its home?
Where is it and what does it look like?
Who knows its name?
 
I'm calling - where are you, my happiness?
Show up at least once
Something flickers somewhere, I run and I reach it - again no
It's the glow of errant fires
 
Where is the thing called happiness?
'Cause it exists, for sure, I know
Where is it? I have already seen it in a dream
But I don't remember dreams
 
Somebody caught girl's eyes
And fell down into them to the very bottom
And he thought that there he found a trace
That this is it
 
Maybe in my forgotten dream
A shadow of love was going to meet him
Today where is the warm gleam of those eyes
That can give happiness?
 
On which day will those eyes accept me?
In reality, not in a dream
Somebody is searching somewhere like me
She wants to find happiness
 
And she doesn't know that some day
She will find it in my eyes
