My translation (Russian) of the song "Bad weather"
from the movie "Mary Poppins, Goodbye". Music: Alla Pugacheva, Vadim Lotkin. Lyrics: Irina Pavlyutkin. The changes with weather
happen from year to year,
bad weather now - in fashion,
bad weather, bad weather.
As if from the plumbing pipes
heaven water's pouring on us:
Refrain:
six months of bad weather,
half a year - just nowhere,
six months of bad weather,
half a year - just nowhere at all.
Nowhere, nowhere we hide,
but life couldn't be delayed.
Nowhere, nowhere, but right
there someone is looking for you
among the rain.
Ominous thunder's rumbling
from sunset to sunrise,-
a fee for the human sins,
bad weather, bad weather.
Not sore throat, cold or virus -
more serious trouble:
Refrain.

Beyond the quotes
“Why not just
skip
landing here?”
R.H. Mustard,
a poet
We were taught
to make a plan,
to look beyond
a shroud
under the sun
to find a sweet spot
and stay there,
enjoy the reward,
don’t share the spare…
What if the plan delayed
for years,
to start a new things – late,
and people will laugh
if you burst into tears…
Maybe…- to hide the plan
in the bottle,
throw into ocean,
for someone to ponder,
celebrate the holly
devotions…
Or, to build better world
out of nothing,
forgetting reward,
fasting…,
live every day’s
happy ending,
grateful for
premature
landing...

Fly away, the cloud
My translation of the song "Fly away, the cloud" (1979).
Music and lyrics by V. Reznikov (1952-1992)
Fly away, cloud,
fly away, cloud,
fly away!
Fly away cloud,
oh, fly away…
Wind with cloud tête–à–tête
talked while blowing its around:
my desire, oh cloud,
could you guess?
don't you see the world without you-
better place, -
fly away, oh cloud,
don't delay, oh cloud,
fly away!
If there were no more concerns,
than to chase after you! -
hurry up and pour with rain,
then melt away.
If I stay with you someway
my friend sail will become unvaried
fly away, oh cloud
fly away!
All the
hardships, sorrow
envelop with cotton wool,
take with you anxiety
and sadness
for no grief to all had happened,
for the sun be never blacked-
fly away, oh cloud,
fly away!

Help
|
When word 'help' rings
testing our fling -
how far a few
can stretch their
wing
to scratch the surface
to view
face to face
an issue
to share
the spot
under the sun,
a current medium
of exchange -
the sum,
embodied
in trees, groves,
woods,
comes
teetering
on the edge
of devil
tongue
faraway
in a comfort,
numb…
thoughts: am I
a big ship,
called to
haul aboard
sunken boat,
decoyed
to dive into cold water
with no aqualung,
whereupon only
friendly hand matter...

Unconditionally...
You hide
your Universe
under a garment,
made of cloth
unique curve
of fractal figure
each part of which
has the same
character as the
whole – bewitched!
You’ve touched
my Universe
unconsciously,
your breath flushed
my cheeks,
my soul
from faraway creek,
where you’re flying
with tailwind
fanning the wing,
carrying an essence
into depth of spring…
you’ve touched me unconditionally…

Patterns
...an overture by the theme
sense of profound love,
adoration,
thrill,
surrounded
with sounds,
sighs,
vowels,
consonants,
added up
in unique
rhythm
with pause,
when nobody
breathe,
even a bird stops
singing,
reflecting
the night
dream
patterns
of Life

Currents
Spring speeds up strikes
the rampant squares
of Uranus/Pluto,
sending us
the currents
to awake
the hearts,
intact
by life,
unspent its
warmth
and hidden
love,
reveal
remorse,
the guilt,
self-doubt,
help
to remember
what is the feeling
to be a sensitive
and happy
human being
