Moj Raj (My Eden), english lyrics and translation.

"My Eden"

1st verse:

It seems that's what my Eden is -
---[Naverno, eto moy ray -]
To look for his reflection
---[Iskat' ego otrazhen'e]
In pieces of sand color,
---[V predmetah chernogo tsveta,]
To find out May's faint notes in a voice.
---[I slishat' v golose may.]

It seems that's what my Eden is -
---[Naverno, eto moy ray -]
Is beams of daylight in a window
---[V luchah okonnogo sveta]
The sky feels just so close,
---[Tak blizko kazhetsia nebo,]
Whenever eyes are full of Eden...
---[Kogda glaza tsveta ray...]

Chorus:

So that's fine he isn't aware of someone like me,
---[I horosho, chto on ne znaet pro takuyu kak ya,]
Of winter being just vanilla snowflakes in my dreams.
---[I chto v mechtah moih vanil'nie snechinki - zima.]
And just snowstorms and eternal ice are under bare soles.
---[A pod shagami bosonogimi meteli i liod.]
He will never abandon my intentions anymore.
---[On bol'she nikogda iz misley moih ne uydet.]

And I could find no reasons not to exclaim That Is The Very Love!!!
---[I mne ne stidno zakrichat o tom, Chto Eto Lubov'!!!]
His words just burnt my heart and blood down to ashes for a moment.
---[Ego slova na tri minuti tak prozhgli moyu krov'.]
I keep convincing myself that everything is fine,
---[Ya prodolzhau povtoriat' sebe, chto vse horosho,]
But I realize I need him, once more.
---[No ponimayu, on mne nuzhen, nuzhen esche.]

Den Pobedi english translation

For those who are curious to know the English meaning behind the beautiful song Den Pobedi, here it is, courtesy of wikipedia :D :

Victory Day, how far was it from us
Like an ember dwindled in the faded fire.
Versts were there, burnt and dusted, —
We did all we could for hastening this day.
(The verst is a defunct Russian unit of length and equals 1.067 km)

Chorus:

This Victory Day
Saturated with the smell of gunpowder,
This is a holiday
With gray hairs on temples,
This is joy
With tears in our eyes,

Victory Day!

Victory Day!

Victory Day!

Days and nights at open-hearth furnaces
Our Motherland spent, sleepless.
Days and nights we fought a hard battle,
We did all we could for hastening this day.

Chorus

Salute to you Mother, not all of us came back...
Wish to run about barefoot in dew!
Half of Europe, we have stridden half of Earth,
We did all we could for hastening this day.
