| A black shadow, a silhouette without a face - glides across the asphalt like a blind man's staff,
|
| And clings to the feet, there is salvation from the eyes of the lanterns!
|
| The last tram, an unlucky ticket, and scraps of newspapers cut the wheels:
|
| Night of long shadows. |
| Night of the Long Shadows!
|
| And I'm getting used to breathing without you, still with pain, choking and wheezing,
|
| And the downpour rumbles on the roofs downcast more and more.
|
| I am blind from tears, and I am deaf from words - and the shadows of window crosses collapse:
|
| Night of long shadows. |
| Night of the Long Shadows!
|
| Chorus:
|
| A step forward is in vain, a step back, with your back to the wall,
|
| A step to the right, but it is dangerous, a step to the left is doubly dangerous,
|
| A step to the left is doubly dangerous!..
|
| The blind moon will gnaw through the clouds, the river will suffocate in the arms of words,
|
| Crawling, wriggling, garlands of cold lights.
|
| And the day will flash by with the plumage of an arrow, and it will pierce the city like the teeth of a saw,
|
| Night of long shadows. |
| Night of the Long Shadows!
|
| Chorus:
|
| A step forward is in vain, a step back, with your back to the wall,
|
| A step to the right, but it is dangerous, a step to the left is doubly dangerous,
|
| A step to the left is doubly dangerous!..
|
| A step forward is in vain, a step back, with your back to the wall,
|
| A step to the right, but it is dangerous, a step to the left is doubly dangerous,
|
| A step to the left is doubly dangerous!..
|
| Night of long shadows. |
| Night of long shadows. |
| Night of long shadows. |
