about

LYRICS

Світає… (It’s Dawning)
Так тихо, так любо, так ніжно у полі.
Мов свічі погаслі в клубках фіміаму,
В тумані загорнувшись, далекі тополі
В душі вигравають мінорную гаму.

Вже дніє поволі…

Так тихо, так любо, так ніжно у полі.

Світає…

Все спить ще: і небо, і зорі безсилі,
Лиш птах десь озвався спросоння ліниво
Та темний бовван на козачій могилі
Про давнє, минуле кричить мовчазливо.

Видніє щохвилі,

Все спить ще: і небо, і зорі безсилі.

Світає…

Проміннями схід ранить ніч, мов мечами,
Хмарки по всім небі й собі взолотіли.
Безмовні тумани тремтять над полями.
Підхоплююсь з ними і я, посвіжілий.

О, глянь, що над нами!

Розкраяно небо — мечами, мечами…

It’s Dawning

It’s dawning…

It’s so quiet, so gentle, so soft in the field.
Distant poplars, like extinguished candles
In balls of incense, wrapped in the mists,
Play a melancholy scale in the soul.
Little by little the day becomes…
It’s so quiet, so gentle, so soft in the field.

It’s dawning…

Everything is still asleep: the sky as well as the faint stars,
Just a bird somewhere sleepily and lazily is spawning a sound,
And a burnt out stump, like a priest over a grave,
Wails silently - “Have mercy, immortal one!”
With every second it’s brighter.
Everything is still asleep: the sky as well as the faint stars,

It’s dawning…

The sunrise wounds the night with rays, with swords.
And golden clouds rush into battle.
Silent mists quiver above the fields.
And with them I stop for a morning prayer:
Have mercy on us!
Why are You wounding our heart with swords?
