Я ВЫБИРАЮ ЛЮБОВЬ [YA VIBIRAYU LYUBOV] [English translation]

There's nothing to believe in anymore, nothing to wait for

Thoughts flash by like bullets, I'm trying to catch them

My dive's at the limit, I don't fear anything

And in my sights are my doubts and sadness.

I know this road is difficult, but I am still here

And it means something will happen in it, that something is in it1

I walk out as if to a firing squad, I walk as if off to battle

But I repeat through clenched teeth: I'm picking love, I pick love.

My heart jumped at the drink, it pulls and squeezes2

I run as if along a blade, onwards and onwards

My hope is my torch in a burning hand

It lights up the sky for me in my ceiling.

And whatever else happens on this path

I'll try to not leave it for even a step

Life flashed by like a moment

Until I meet you, I repeat through time

I choose love...

My dream is my reward for life, forever

And if it's necessary, my hand won't shake

I was afraid once, but my time has come

I can't wait until tomorrow, it's all here and now.

And I, finally, became calmer, I lived at war

And suddenly I understood - it's all in me

And in this last face-off with my own self

I repeat through the skies, I'm choosing love

I choose love.

1. Could also be interpreted as "something will be in it"2. Actually, not sure about the drink part. Maybe someone can provide an alternative translation...
