Опьянённые нежностью [Opianionnye nezhnostyu] [English translation]

We have liberated secret desires

From underground stone crater.

We have set free them forever,

Leaving anxieties and doubts,

Tragedies and disasters behind,

We have forgotten about everything.

And like children, warmed with the tender sun,

We are slowly moving through the clouds of placidity.

We are soaring smoothly, charmed with weightlessness

And we are falling, falling down, intoxicated by tenderness.

The memory of yesterday:

Two silver coins are falling to the bottom,

And somewhere there, far away

The clock is striking on the tower,

Sad astronomer is looking for a new planet,

Looking in his telescope.

Blue twilight, statues, arches, bridges,

And mannequins, frozen in bright shop windows,

Fragile spires of over the sea of gold lights.

Clatter of steps in the alleys with blooming jasmine.

One cannot separate two gold threads,

One cannot break invisible dance off.

One cannot hold a wave.

The whole world has frozen, keeping breath

At the tip of your fingers,

And I do not dare to wince.

There, high among the stars,

In the boundless expanse,

Over the clouds, over downpours and snow-falls,

There are two distant secret observatories,

And between them there is invisible fragile rainbow.
