Ночь [Noch'] [English translation]

The sun is behind glass, the light is so bright - it is day.

As for me, I always loved nights.

And it is my own business - to love nights,

And it is my birthright - to step into shade.

I love the night, because it has fewer street cars,

I love the smoke and ash left from my cigarettes,

I love the kitchens, because they are keeping the secrets,

I love my own home, but hardly it's a serious bet.

And this long night and its glaring electric street light

Upset my eyes,

And this long night and its steady electric street rain

Knock on my glass,

And this long night and its glaring electric street voice

Beckon me to join in,

And I don't know how I'm gonna live

The upcoming day.

I'm alone, but it does not mean that I'm lonely tonight,

My old cassette deck still croaks of joys the day brings,

I'm mindful, that I planned few bouts the following day,

And coffee in a certain café will briefly warm me.

And this long night and its glaring electric street light

Upset my eyes,

And this long night and its steady electric street rain

Knock on my glass,

And this long night and its glaring electric street voice

Beckon me to join in,

And I don't know how I'm gonna live

The upcoming day.
