Красно-желтые дни [Krasno-zheltye dni] [English translation]

My train was delayed at the station,

But I'm finally leaving. It's time to go...

The wind waits for me at my door.

And here soon my sister will be Autumn.

Since the Red-and-Gold days 1

Winter will begin and it'll end.

My woe goes to you, my mind.

So don't worry, find fulfillment.

And someday I'll be home.

With a shield, or just maybe on one. 2

With silver, or, just maybe, in poverty. 3

But I'll be there sooner than never.

So tell me about the tired ones

From the ruthless to the sweetest of dreams

And about the temple of broken hearts

About the ones who have gone to this temple.

Since the Red-and-Gold days

Winter will begin and it'll end.

My woe goes to you, my mind.

So don't worry, find fulfillment.

And someday I'll be home.

With a shield, or just maybe on one.

With silver, or, just maybe, in poverty.

But I'll be there sooner than never.

And so I dreamed that the world is ruled by love

That our dreams ruled this world

And there was a star is burning with beauty

But I awoke to realize that there was trouble aloft...

Since the Red-and-Gold days

Winter will begin and it'll end.

My woe goes to you, my mind.

So don't worry, find fulfillment.

And someday I'll be home.

With a shield, or just maybe on one.

With silver, or, just maybe, in poverty.

But I'll be there sooner than never.
