Текст песни
No, I can’t unlove, nor forget the Martian maiden,
Was it a jest, or did fate just send you to me?
Tortured by longing, with restless nights I’m laden—
Earth’s ordinary things close in and won’t set me free
You, my heart, have lingered there, on the crimson planet,
Through the depths of the cosmos, your pulsing I still hear
See you among the stars—yet when dawn lights the granite,
They dissolve into nothing, untroubled, without fear
Farewell, forever!
Farewell, Aelita!
Call me—don’t call—
Only night echoes… Aelita…
Time has frozen, it seems, in an old attic’s shadow,
The last hope’s flame flickers, about to be gone
Perhaps Dionysus, on his wild leopard,
Would descend from the heavens as my courier at dawn
Someone breaks up the universe into pieces so hollow,
No more choosing or trading, all fates sealed and set
And for a single bright instant of happiness borrowed,
Everything dear can be ruthlessly swept
Farewell, forever!
Farewell, Aelita!
Call me—don’t call—
Only night echoes… Aelita…
Off toward Mars, for no reason, a comet is yearning,
It won’t ever hitch to my ranch for a ride
All things remind me till the last star is burning,
My telescope’s vision is doomed to subside
Long, star-watching nights, that far crimson glimmer
Calls to the spellbound wanderer crossing the blue…
Yet between every star, fateful words seem to shimmer
“With this dream in your heart, you’ll die on Earth too”
Farewell, forever!
Farewell, Aelita!
Call me—don’t call—
Only night echoes… Aelita…
