Empty Words

(Translation inspired by Eduard Asadov)

Well, how is it possible, makes me no sense
My head is just spinning around
Constantly empty and emptier words
Are wrapping around like a cloud

Colorful, jazzy, indifferent words
Somersaulting in silent glee
Same as if they were air baloons
Being presented from you to me

People in use of saying someone
"Unaccountable", her or him, well...
-
That adjective... such a disgusting one
All of these I would send to hell

So it makes us believe it's all no big deal
whether giving or taking a word...
Pardon me, do you actually feel good
Living here in our world?!

Is it possible to be speaking certain:
- I'll be there, I will do, I'll phone. -
With no shade of doubt to speak words out
Knowing no slightest thing will ever be done!

And one's got to sail on, without taking a blush
Knowing confidently that you are
Being awaited somewhere on the phone right now
Being so sure that someone believes that rush

Empty words, words so empty again that rattle!
Imitations of happy words,
Beautiful ones like lupine grass
And evil unkind, like nettle.

Words as: "till final minutes of my lifetime"
"Love", "Sincerity", "Happy date!" -
You pronounce them so easy like throwing a dime,
That so creepy one feels on hearing them.
And at shaken spots you have got it ready:
"Honestly", Isn't it funny?!

Why is it said: "Honestly"
And all of the rest of them, are they deceptive?!
Life - like a play of imagination,
Words - like bubbles one blows out

Why do you need all of these props,
Give me at least one answer, damn!
However, one's actions speak better instead,
Which don't happen to ever be then.

Soul that doesn't give birth to warmth,
gives birth to just empty words!
There will be no peace between me and them!
Understand and make the only decision
Or just say goodbye to them all,
Or just break up with me!
