[Verse 1]
Russian poets
on foreign shores.
In the gardens amidst the midnight haze
Words, like roses, appear suddenly.
[chorus]
Oh, they compose,
they hum, they sigh,
Under a velvety sky of moonbeams.
Bossa Nova and the Blues
converge again,
Russian poets in paradise.
[Verse 2]
Cherries whisper poetry to them,
Samovars are humming songs,
Letters stained with tea,
Hearts are made of tears.
[Pre-chorus]
Every line —
A bluesy note,
A barely audible soul.
[chorus]
Oh, they write,
Humming, sighing,
Under a velvety sky of moonbeams.
Bossa Nova and the Blues
Quietly converge again,
Russian poets in paradise.
[Куплет 1]
Русские поэты
по чужим берегам.
В садах среди дымки полуночной
Слова, как розы, появляются вдруг.
[Припев]
О, они сочиняют,
Напевают, вздыхают,
Под бархатным небом лунных лучей.
босса нова — и Блюз
сходятся вновь,
Русские поэты в раю.
[Куплет 2]
Вишни шепчут им стихи,
Самовары напевают песни,
Письма в пятнах чая,
Сердца — из слез.
[Пред-припев]
Каждая строчка —
Блюзовая нота,
Едва слышной души.
[Припев]
О, они пишут,
Напевают, вздыхают,
Под бархатным небом лунных лучей.
босса нова — и Блюз
тихо сходятся вновь,
Русские поэты в раю.
[Verse]
Freedom's a bird with a broken wing
It sings anyway
It still wants to sing
A beach with no borders
A sea with no chains
It’s dancing in sunlight
Ignoring the rain
[Prechorus]
But love
Oh love
It’s a shadow and flame
A whisper
A riddle
It never stays the same
[Chorus]
Do they know
Does anyone know
What love is
Where it dares to go
Do they feel it
Or let it pass by
A fleeting moment
A firefly sky
[Verse 2]
Love’s a street with no end in sight
A stolen kiss in the dead of night
It’s a hand you hold when the lights go dim
It’s losing yourself
And finding them
[Bridge]
Freedom hums
Love screams
Freedom flies
Love dreams
One's the ocean
One's the shore
One wants everything
One craves more
[Chorus]
Do they know
Does anyone know
What love is
Where it dares to go
Do they feel it
Or let it pass by
A fleeting moment
A firefly sky
[Verse]
Shadows stretch then fade away
The clock it whispers not to stay
A thousand faces in the stream
None are real yet all they seem
[Chorus]
Every moment brings change stay awake
Every moment transformation don’t break
Only be aware only be aware
Life’s a shifting shape
[Verse 2]
Leaves that fall will kiss the ground
Roots grow deep without a sound
The wind it sings a fleeting tune
The sun gives way to a silver moon
[Bridge]
Close your eyes to see it clear
Truths that hide are drawing near
The tide will turn the stars will fall
Be awake to see it all
[Chorus]
Every moment brings change stay awake
Every moment transformation don’t break
Only be aware only be aware
Life’s a shifting shape
