Магия (Джокер, Сеня
Сон) |
La magie - Witchery |
Пламя ночи примет обоих
И воскресит надежду
В каждом из одиночеств.
Ветер ночи сбросит с обоих,
Словно листву, одежду
В черное пламя ночи. |
Flame of the night, will embrace the both
And will resurrect the hope
In (each and) every of the solitudes
The wind of the night, will whip off, from the both
As if the foliage, clothes
In the black fire of a night |
Магия черной ночи,
Магия тайной встречи,
Магия притяженья пары
Черных глаз. |
Witchery, of the black night
Wizardry, of the secret meeting
Magic, of the attraction of a pair
Of the black eyes |
Магия черной ночи,
Магия тайной встречи,
Магия ожиданья бури
В море ласк. |
Witchery, of the black night
Wizardry, of the mystical encounter
Magic, of the awaiting of a storm
In the sea of tenderness |
|
|
Будет утро, утро разбудит,
Только осколки ночи
Будут скрипеть в глазницах.
Будет утро, будет, но только
Встреча двух одиночеств
Больше не повторится. |
There'll be morning, the morning will wake up
Only splinters of the night
Will creak in the eye-sockets
There'll be morning, it will be, but only
A meeting of the two solitudes
Will (never) repeat anymore |
