Love is a Land

Любовь - волшебная страна
Автор слов - Э.Рязанов

I flew – a butterfly to flames,
Relentless, stubborn, in the clouds,
To Love – that magic, tragic land,
Where someone calls me “My Beloved…”
A land, where every day – a dream,
Where storms and thunder – no scare,
That land of love, forever green, forever green,
Where happiness is known and shared.

But times have changed and love has fled,
Your kisses – gone, your lies – unending,
I understood: love is a land,
Where each of us is a pretender
I’m so na;ve, betrayed and sad
I’m not to blame, perhaps – to pity,
Oh, Love, so treacherous a land, so treacherous a land
Its only code of laws is cheating.

Why do I cry before your gaze?
Why all these foolish smiles and silly?
Love is a land that’s full of haze,
And traitors dwell in every city…
But lilacs bloom and robins sing,
And troubles melt with winter snows
Love is a land of hope and spring,
The only land, where bliss is known…
