lyrics

"DEVIL" "ДЬЯВОЛ"

My used ignorance - in an instant /Мое беспечное незнанье
Was shaken by the demon's hand, /Лукавый демон возмутил,
And he combined my poor existence /И он мое существованье
With his existence to the end. /С своим на век соединил.
His evil eyes became my own, /Я стал взирать его глазами,
I gain poor treasure of the worlds, /Мне жизни дался бедный клад,
My heart was beating in a tone /С его неясными словами
With indistinguishable words. /Моя душа звучала в лад.

I'd looked at all with look that's clear, /Взглянул на мир я взором ясным
And I was shocked by what I'd seen; /И изумился в тишине;
Whether such world could once appear /Ужели он казался мне
As great and beautiful to me? /Столь величавым и прекрасным?

What, a young dreamer, looked you for /Чего, мечтатель молодой,
In such a world, with utter fervour, /Ты в нем искал, к чему стремился,
For whom, with all your heart before, /Кого восторженной душой
You were not shamed to pray forever? /Боготворить не устыдился?
And I looked at the people, else: /И взор я бросил на людей,
The 'judges' of the lowest level - /Увидел их надменных, низких,
So cruel, lofty, biased, base - /Жестоких ветреных судей,
The fools that always drift to evil. /Глупцов, всегда злодейству близких.

Before these ever - frightened hosts, /Пред боязливой их толпой,
So vain, and cold, and full of vengeance, /Жестокой, суетной, холодной,
The voice of truth is simply lost, /Смешон глас правды благородный,
And helpless - knowledge of the ages. /Напрасен опыт вековой.

You're right, the ever-witty nations, /Вы правы, мудрые народы,
A call for freedom is asleep! /К чему свободы вольный клич!
Herds needn't freedom's innovations, /Стадам не нужен дар свободы,
They have to be just cut and stripped, /Их должно резать или стричь,

Herds needn't freedom's innovations, /Стадам не нужен дар свободы,
They have to be just cut and stripped, /Их должно резать или стричь,
Their heritage for generations - /Наследство их из рода в роды
The yoke with joker's bells and whip. /Ярмо с гремушками да бич.

about

MARIA MARACHOWSKA Berlin, Germany

Maria Marachowska´s "Siberian Blues" is an entirely new music style. In her music and the soft timbre of her deep singing voice, this blue haze, that is Blues, takes on the shape of figures and moods, forms poetic words, seems almost meditative. Whoever gets into this unique experience of "Siberian Blues", submerges far under the surface and comes across long lost feelings and emotions. ... more
