Англоязычная "дилогия" YOUTH (2009)

 I. SHY WHILE YOUNG

 
The year's so young
And so are you;
My eyes abound
with sparkling dew.
 
Above the clouds
The sky is clear...
It's pure and loud -
The call I hear.
 
The call of waves
Through ticking clocks
Breaks loose
And breaks the icy rocks
 
In snow-white sea
which is your heart
And which is still
Untouched by darts
 
Of future sins
We shall go through.
You say: "Keep silence;
Yet, be true".
 
Each's got his share
of harps and wings...
Your silky hair
Is on my skin...
 
I'm happy now
And I'm aware:
No matter how -
One day you'll flare.
 
The year's so new
And so am I -
Devoted, true,
beloved and shy...
 
 
II. THE THUNDERSTORM
 
See how windy disgrace rules the city tonight
 
With its feverish feux d’artifice!
 
There is nowhere to run; there is no place to hide
 
For a one single moment of bliss.
 
Rainy waterfalls stream down, denuding the sins
 
Of the pitiful Paradise Lost…
 
In the river, the whirlpool is born, and its spins
 
Go from fever to muteness and frost.
 
We were born here tonight, all alone on the bridge;
 
Driving lights seem to spit out our souls.
 
And we slide through the darkness and rain, and the sky
 
Seems to tell us we’ll never get old.
 
We’ll go on; look, we are barely touching the ground.
 
I invite you to prayer and feast!
 
Celebrating our youth, we have got no more doubts
 
That the glow always chases the mist.
 
We’ll abandon ourselves in the splendor and lust,
 
And the new day will dawn at our feet.
 
Far away from despair and decline and disgust,
 
From the city that suffers and bleeds.
 
Let the orchestra play ‘till the drummers go deaf,
 
Let us sing ‘till our voices grow weak!
 
For there’s nothing but life, never followed by death,
 
And there’s nothing but heart that can speak…
