Interesting song. Nice words. Since the lyrics runs side-by-side, I was intrigued by how different the Russian lyrics were from the English. So I here give you the literal, word-for-word translation of the Russian.
Please note: this is not criticism of the translator. Rather it is informative. Translation is always at a risk of loosing some meaning. Translating lyrics to match the existing musical structure and keep a sense of the rhyme scheme while maintaining integrity in the new language is all that much more difficult. I salute those who try and succeed!
