Есть только миг... [Est' tol'ko mig...] [English translation]

All things are fleeting in this turbulent world

There's but an instant between future and past

There's but an instant, seize it and hold

It is called life and you hope it will last

Eternal peace is not good for the soul

Eternal peace is for that which went by

And for a star that broke off and is falling

There's but an instant, a blink of an eye

And for a star that broke off and is falling

There's but an instant, a blink of an eye

As the world hurtles through time like a disk

My path can diverge, be it right or wrong

What things I treasure and what do I risk?

Only that instant, that one instant alone

Whether fortune or sorrow is for me foretold

There's but an instant between future and past

There's but an instant, I must seize it and hold

It is called life and I hope it will last

There's but an instant between future and past

It is called life and I hope it will last
