1. Dreams (Mechty)
Another reality... Many people want
to see it. Another mentality,
another dimension and another sense
of time, colours and sounds. Does
this other world really exist? The
world of illusions, fantasies, the
world of DREAM...
You are somewhere nearby
Or are these only dreams?
Somewhere nearby with poison
I'd better put on my eyes
To distinguish the colour of your
soul
Or are these only dreams?
Yes, these are dreams...
Yes, these are dreams...
Dreams... Dreams...
I am handsome like a baobab
Or like a crab dressed in aqualung
I am in a paroxysm of beauty
Or are these only dreams?
It is all because of your eyes
Poison in one of them, a tear in the
other
I've brought you flowers
Or are these only dreams?
Yes, these are dreams...
Yes, these are dreams...
Dreams... Dreams...
2. The Seventh Element (Sed'moy
Element)
I've come to give this song
I've come to give this song
I've come to give this song
I've come to give this song
Chandra Brambra Chandra Chandra
Bendram...
I've come to give this song
From the world of dreams
I've come to give this song
From crystal tears
I've come to give this song
For love
I've come to give this song
Chandra Brambra Chandra Chandra
Bendram...
3. OPERA # 2
My house has been built but I am
alone here
The door banged behind my back
An autumn wind is knocking on the
window
Crying over me all over again...
Thunderstorm at night and fog in the
morning...
The sun has turned completely cold
Old pains are following one another
Let them all get together!
My house has been built but I am
alone here
The door banged behind my back
An autumn wind is knocking on the
window
Crying over me all over again...
This is Fate and I can't
Ask anything of Fate!
I just know how the winds
Will be wailing after I'm gone
4. Prelude (Prelyudiya)
Fulfillment of desires
Inside the cracks of tall buildings
The light of neon signs
And of my memories
Fulfillment of desires
Inside the cracks of tall buildings
Where it always snows
I am a slave of my fate
5. Karlsson
In the city of Stockholm
On a high roof
In a very small room
Where mice are scratching
Where cats are fighting
And the wind is blowing
There lived the unhappiest man in
the world
Karlsson couldn't fly
But he wanted to become someone's
friend
He didn't have a penny to his name
But he did his best to amuse the Kid
He descended from the roof by rope
In order to get to the Kid's cornice
He had to risk his life
To make the Kid believe he could fly
That's how it actually happened
But the people didn't want to hear
the truth
Nobody cares about someone else's
troubles
That's why unhappy Karlssons grow in
number
6. Opera # 1
We always want more than we have
We always want more than we have
And anguish grasps our hearts
We stagger in an autumn wind
We are filled up with someone else's
joy
Inflamed by someone else's feasts
Like sunshine on a glade
We draw our heads nearer over the
tables
I'll embrace you, tipsy like
separation
And take you in my arms
I won't share you, wild like abuse
Either with an enemy or a friend
It rarely happens to me like this
I will give you a bit of happiness
You will swing like light in the
windows
And moths will rush towards your
light
7. The Birthday Of My Death (Den'
rozhdeniya moyei smerti)
Today at daybreak
I lost a shadow of my hope
I entangled myself in the nets
Being too lazy to disentangle though
And as if under the spell
I forgot the order of days
Is it my birthday today
Or the day of my death?
I am all alone in this world
Only emptiness awaits me ahead
Is it roof or a thin line
Under my feet?
I am nearly God's equal
I am higher than the king
I will put my foot on the edge
And say: "Hello, Earth!"
And then at one stroke
I will solve all my problems
And in the end I will sin
By my imperishable ashes
I know that sooner or later
Whether you believe me or not
It will come anyway -
The birthday of our death...
8. Soul (Dusha)
Can you see the soul smiling?
My feet are quickening their pace
As if I really had wings behind my
back
But there is no one chasing after me
Look - my wet soul is drooped
Although there is no stick or knife
above it
The body's marble melted into soft
wax
And the computer brain flew off to
the devil
Soul, where is your place?
I have a stitch in my right side
I stooped with bated breath
Something broke again all of a
sudden
Blazed up, went out and caught fire
again
A voice coming from far above
A new pain where wings should be
Faces of the stars are laved with
downpours
And I nearly grasped the comet's
tail
9. Body (Telo)
And the beat goes on...
My body
Gently melts
Radiates light
Relaxes
My body
Like a wind
Blows dreams
Relaxes
My body
Like a drop
Fell down from the sky
And broke everything
My body
Flows down the window-panes
Studies love
Relaxes
Become my body
In a casual way
Become my body
Become!
10. Old Gramophone (Stariy
grammofon)
I cannot say a word
I am sick at heart again
No one brings me letters
The clock has struck autumn
I cannot say a word
I am sick at heart again
Let the sadness as transparent
background
Melt in the sounds of gramophone
11. Circus (Tsirk)
Everybody is laughing and cheerful
dwarfs
Are blowing up balloons
And petards explode like fireworks
The circus arrived and everyone is
smiling
In this circus we are all spectators
We are all beasts and tamers
Everything here is far too familiar
to us
We feel at home in this circus
Everything is simple here and very
mysterious
And the clown burst into fits of
laughter
Because the gymnast had fallen down
He just wanted to turn a somersault
for us
We all gathered her not by chance
And it's not a secret any more
That we are all clowns in this
circus
And the gymnast's legs are broken
We all grew up in this circus
And derived only one idea
Everyone thinks about the same -
How to avoid turning into an
elephant
But they all want to become
magicians
And they shout and wave their flags
Although they are ordinary
spectators
Just station keepers and nothing
else
Acrobats and sword-swallowers
Tightrope-walkers and snake-charmers
Rope-walkers and strong men
Lilliputians and stuntmen...
Everything is relative in this
circus
And we laugh inexpressively
Because everyone is worried
Lest he should stay by the side of
the road
