N 1 Selection of poems with music, in English lvk

**We ll find our Truth**

In shadows deep, where whispers dwell,
The tales of old, I know them well.
A riddle wrapped in twilight's hue,
Sing softly now, the night is new.

Oh, the light of the moon, it glows,
In secrets shared, the river flows.
Bound by fate, and time we chase,
The echo of dreams, in this sacred place.

With every heartbeat, we will rise,
To touch the stars, to claim the skies.
A melody woven through the air,
We dance together, without a care.

Oh, the light of the moon, it glows,
In secrets shared, the river flows.
Bound by fate, and time we chase,
The echo of dreams, in this sacred place.

In the stillness, hear our call,
A symphony where shadows fall.
With every note, we break the chains,
In harmony, our love remains.

Oh, the light of the moon, it glows,
In secrets shared, the river flows.
Bound by fate, and time we chase,
The echo of dreams, in this sacred place.

So take my hand, and don’t let go,
Together we’ll face the ebb and flow.
For in this world, where moments gleam,
We’ll find our truth, in every dream.

**NIce to Meet You on the Moon**

We met on the moon, in the dark,
Strange feeling, didn't know if it was the right evening,
You wrote to me in the middle of the night, without thinking,
I believe I understood what our truth was.

We danced on the stars, in silence,
Gravity was mocking us with insolence,
Each glance was like a wink from the sky,
Our souls flying together, without a rainbow.

On the moon, we floated, oblivious to time,
Your smile lit up the universe, all the time,
In that lost place, where love was,
Our hearts beating, in weightlessness, embraced.

The craters were our secret refuges,
A stolen kiss, a promise never made,
The comets danced to the rhythm of our dreams,
So many memories, that the night raises.

And if we return to Earth one day,
Remember, the moon is our love,
The stars will be our silent witnesses,
Of this infinite love, that we promise each other.

On the moon, we floated, oblivious to time,
Your smile lit up the universe, all the time,
In that lost place, where love was,
Our hearts beating, in weightlessness, embraced.

**Rock N Roll in your Heart**

In the heart of the world, where the rock 'n' roll is playing,
We'll gather together, come what may,
With a beat in our souls and a fire in our eyes,
We'll rise up united, reach for the skies.

Chains of iron rust beneath our stride,
Voices echo loud, can't be denied,
In the shadows, we emerge wild and free,
Breaking through the walls that used to be.

We are the outcasts, the rebels, the dreamers,
With clenched fists and hearts of believers,
Together, we scream, we dream, we fight,
Into the chaos, we bring light.

Through the noise, through the haze, through the screams,
We hold on tight to our shattered dreams,
No giving in, no bowing down,
Kings and queens of the broken crown.

Stumble, fall, get back on our feet,
Waves crash, but we won't retreat,
Blazed trails in the midnight hour,
In our unity, we find power.

**When You're Away**

When you're not here, the stars seem dimmer.
I walk alone; the world feels thinner.
But then I hear your voice, a whisper.
It picks me up, makes my heart glimmer.

The nights are long; the days are fading.
I count the hours, anticipation.
I see your face in skies of grey.
It's like you chase the storms away.

When you're away, my heart is yearning.
But in my mind, the fire's burning.
I know that soon we'll be together,
And nothing else will ever matter.

Dreams so vivid; skies are brighter.
Your love makes the shadows lighter.
In every step I take, I find you.
The world is ours; we're not confined to.

I write our names on the horizon.
In every sunset, love is rising.
The future's calling us by name.
I know we'll never be the same.

When you're away, my heart is yearning.
But in my mind, the fire's burning.
I know that soon we'll be together,
And nothing else will ever matter.

In shadows deep, where whispers dwell,
The tales of old, I know them well.
A riddle wrapped in twilight's hue,

In secrets shared, the river flows.
Bound by fate, and time we chase,
The echo of dreams, in this sacred place.

**Let us Dance Through Life**

Oh come now, sing us a song, merry wind,
You’ve roamed the seas and mountains far and wide,
You’ve heard all the tunes that the world can bring,
So share with us now, let your spirit glide.

For the brave who fight for victory,
Let their voices join in cheer,
Those who laugh, let laughter ring,
Those who dream, let their hearts sing,
Those who seek will find their way, my dear!

Hey now, sing us a tune, joyful breeze,
Of wild mountain peaks and oceans deep,
Of whispered secrets in the forest trees,
Of creatures stirring while the world’s asleep.

For the brave who fight for victory,
Let their voices join in cheer,
Those who laugh, let laughter ring,
Those who dream, let their hearts sing,
Those who seek will find their way, my dear!

Come now, sing us a tale, merry air,
Of glory and courage that shines so bright,
Of scholars and heroes, in courage we share,
In every heart, let courage take flight.

For the brave who fight for victory,
Let their voices join in cheer,
Those who laugh, let laughter ring,
Those who dream, let their hearts sing,
Those who seek will find their way, my dear!

So let the pipes play a melody clear,
Let the springtime songs fill the skies,
Let the laughter rise, let joy appear,
Let every heart beat strong, let spirits rise!

For the brave who fight for victory,
Let their voices join in cheer,
Those who laugh, let laughter ring,
Those who dream, let their hearts sing,
Those who seek will find their way, my dear!

Oh come now, sing us a song, merry wind,
You’ve traveled through time, through joy and through strife,
In every note, let the world begin,
With every song, let us dance through life!

**House Sounds**

Innocently I rocked on my chair,
From wooden wrinkles, a sound so rare.
The dreadful creaks, they break my peace,
They sneak right in, our warmth to seize.

An owl hooted, breaking dawn's glow,
Like a siren's wail, a warning low.
My villa dreams are now out of sight,
Now tension drives our home through the night.

The chair it creaks, my heart it shakes,
Life's rhythm beats, and never breaks.
House sounds at night, they softly sigh,
Secretly provoking our dreams to fly.

The owl with wings, the queen of night,
From tree to flat, in hurricane flight.
The sounds of the wings twist our heads,
And we dance in chaos, where laughter spreads.

In the bedroom, dear calls: 'Be still!'
'Let’s not change this wood, it’s all goodwill.
Just let the creaks be counted in time,
We’ll live in silence, framed so sublime.'

The chair it creaks, my heart it shakes,
Life's rhythm beats, and never breaks.
House sounds at night, they softly sigh,
Secretly provoking our dreams to fly.

**In the Moonlit Cafe**

Beneath the softly glowing lights,
We whisper all our secrets bright,
The scent of coffee, warm and bold,
Hiding dreams of tales untold.

Amidst the laughter and the cheer,
The olden songs we hold so dear,
Memories float on whispers light,
Of nights we yearn to reunite.

Cafe of dreams and passions true,
Where hearts find reasons to break through,
To dance beneath the golden moon,
To love each other without tune.

The hues of Paris, evening's glow,
Under stars our stories flow,
The gentle rain upon the roofs,
Binds our souls, our sweetest truths.

A violin plays, the eyes close tight,
Lives entwine in the soft twilight,
Though voices fade and shadows loom,
Here all feels magic, dispelling gloom.

Cafe of dreams and passions true,
Where hearts find reasons to break through,
To dance beneath the golden moon,
To love each other without tune.

Feel the rhythm, let it soar,
In this cafe, we’ll crave for more,
Together in this timeless place,
Where every heartbeat finds its grace.

**Somewhere to Belong**

She roamed alone, a shadow in the night,
No gentle hands, no warmth, no guiding light.
A broken soul, her body worn and bruised,
A homeless heart forever feeling used.

Through stations, markets, endless city streets,
She searched for love, for refuge, for release.
Her owner gone, a year has passed since then,
And finding home seemed harder now than when.

Oh, can’t you see the sorrow in her eyes?
A silent plea beneath the endless skies.
One bite of bread, a shelter from the storm,
A place where she can finally feel warm.

Oh, this world can be so cold, so wrong,
She’s just searching for somewhere to belong.

Her matted fur, her steps so slow with pain,
Yet still she dreams of sunshine after rain.
A tiny spark of hope she tries to keep,
Through every tear the world refused to weep.

The city moves, so fast, so deaf, so blind,
No mercy there, no kindness left to find.
Their hardened hearts ignored her gentle plea,
A cry for love, how simple that could be.

Oh, can’t you see the sorrow in her eyes?
A silent plea beneath the endless skies.
One bite of bread, a shelter from the storm,
A place where she can finally feel warm.

Oh, this world can be so cold, so wrong,
She’s just searching for somewhere to belong.

And does it hurt them, to see her there?
To feel her pain, to show they care?
Or do they turn away in fear,
Afraid her need might draw them near?

Someday the world might stop to see,
The love she gives so endlessly.
But until then, she’ll walk alone,
A lonely heart without a home.

Oh, can’t you see the sorrow in her eyes?
She’s just searching for somewhere to belong.

The Painter of Invisible Wings

Inspired by the poetry of Sergey Min'kov 2: http://stihi.ru/2012/12/30/6106)

My friend draws such strange, mysterious skies,
Unseen yet real, as if they're realized -
Birds leaping high with passion in their flight,
Then sinking down to vanish from my sight.

Each stroke beneath his trembling hand,
So clumsy, yet they seem to land.
Those crooked lines, they come alive,
And every bird has fire inside.

He paints the invisible wings I can't see,
The soul of a bird that escapes from me.
Though blind from birth, he's the one who knows -
A world of flight where my vision won't go.
Chasing the skies, but I'm tethered below,
While he holds the freedom my heart longs to know.

My pencil moves with careful, calculated art,
But what I draw has neither life nor heart.
A trained hand, a profession, a career,
Yet my sketches fall—so lifeless, unclear.

His world is dark, but brighter still,
His sightless mind bends art to will.
While I, the trained and seeing man,
Can't breathe the spark that lights his hand.

He paints the invisible wings I can't see,
The soul of a bird that escapes from me.
Though blind from birth, he's the one who knows -
A world of flight where my vision won't go.
Chasing the skies, but I'm tethered below,
While he holds the freedom my heart longs to know.

I stare for hours at birds in the air,
Rushing home from places far, elsewhere.
But their secrets, their grace - forever denied,
To my seeing eyes, still veiled, still blind.

He paints the invisible wings I can't see,
The soul of a bird that escapes from me.
Though blind from birth, he's the one who knows -
A world of flight where my vision won’t go.
Chasing the skies, but I'm tethered below,
While he holds the freedom my heart longs to know.

So here I sit, watching colors unfold,
His trembling lines a story untold.
How strange that a man without sight sees it all,
While I’m the blind one, behind my wall.

**How Deep Is Your Love?**

I see the light that shines in your eyes,
Like whispers of rain in the evening skies.
Your name lingers softly on my lips,
I'm caught in a dream I cannot eclipse.

You breeze into my soul, like the summer's air,
With a touch so gentle, tender, rare.
But tell me, darling, and don't conceal:
Do you love me? Is it real?

Do you love me? Truly, love me?
My darling, my heart’s melody.
You are my lighthouse, my guiding flame,
My sunrise and sunset, always the same.

I believe in you, in every way,
You found the lock to my soul that day.
You light the path through the darkest night,
A candle’s glow, oh, so bright.

Like the gentle breeze of a fleeting tide,
Your love's unspoken, yet hard to hide.
But tell me, darling, and let time pause:
How long ago did love take its cause?

Was it dawn's first blush, or twilight’s strain?
Did our hearts entwine in sunshine or rain?
You are my compass when I’m lost, my guide,
The anchor I need, my heart's steady tide.

Do you love me? Truly, love me?
My darling, my heart’s melody.
You are my lighthouse, my guiding flame,
My sunrise and sunset, always the same.

Hold me tighter, don’t let me fall,
Through storms and trials, we’ll weather it all.
Our love withstands the wildest gale,
In your hands lies the key to prevail.

Hand in hand, we’re a fortress of gold,
Through the fire, we’ll never grow cold.
Let the fears and doubts fade behind,
With love, eternal stars align.

How deep is your love? How deep does it flow?
Like the endless sea, or rivers that grow?
You are my lighthouse, my guiding flame,
My sunrise and sunset, always the same.

But if you should wander, and lose your way,
In my arms, I’ll wait, come what may.
For you are my beacon in the coldest night,
My forever, my always, my only light.

**In the Starlit Night**

In the starlit night, magic does arise.
In moments like these, reality flies.
Enchanted shadows take graceful flight,
Wings from the cosmos gleam in the night.

Whispers of dreams echo through the air,
Softly they call to a world so rare.
Celestial tales in the moonbeam's glow,
Secrets of stars that only we know.

Mystic visions in a tranquil sea,
Guiding us where we are meant to be.
Twilight muses serenade our souls,
In their embrace we find we are whole.

Waves of silence sing their lullaby,
In the quiet we feel the sky.
Heaven's whispers tell of ancient lore,
As we float through the galaxy's door.

Whispers of dreams echo through the air,
Softly they call to a world so rare.
Celestial tales in the moonbeam's glow,
Secrets of stars that only we know.

Cosmic whispers weave through the night,
Painting our dreams with heavenly light.
In this realm where wishes come true,
Every starburst is meant for you.

**Winter Dance**

Blankets white,
Houses lie,
Winter's breath,
Whispers nigh,
Tales spun from dreams,
Oh, my,
Evening's glow,
Softly gleam,
Sigh.

Dress of lace,
Snowflakes prance,
In the night,
They take a chance,
Through the streets,
In a trance,
Winter's spell,
In a glance,
Dance.

Snowflakes fall,
Twirl around,
Hear the sound,
On the ground,
Feel the joy,
All around,
In the night,
Magic found,
Found.

Cold winds blow,
Stars up high,
Underneath,
Skies bright,
Sigh,
Footprints trace,
Paths we try,
By the fire,
Warm inside,
Why?

Let us go,
Step by step,
In the snow,
Hand in hand,
Hearts aglow,
Winter night,
We will show,
Show.

Snowflakes fall,
Twirl around,
Hear the sound,
On the ground,
Feel the joy,
All around,
In the night,
Magic found,
Found.

**The Song of Wisdom**

In the East, where dawn greets the new day's light,
A sage resided, whose words held such might.
To his students, wisdom he did impart,
'Many ways there are to wound a heart,' he'd start.

'Should they call you talentless and weak,
Or a foolish, or a slave, their words to speak,
Know that within those spiteful sounds,
No truth. The truth is like sunlight that surrounds,

And chases shadows, dark and deep:
He who calls you foolish, cannot keep
His power, it's a fact, a truth to see,
Only a slave seeks slavery, you'll agree.

Only the talentless see all as such,
Only a fool will call you a clutch
Of folly, and a madman will find
Madness in you, a twisted mind.

For in others, they see their own dark heart,
They judge by themselves, a cruel, hurtful art.
Shield your heart from venom and from spite,
With wisdom answer malice and its blight.

For wisdom is a shield, strong and true,
May it protect me and you.
From all the hurts that life may bring,
Let wisdom be the song that we all sing.'

The heart, a fortress, strong and true,
Protected by a virtue new.
No path for vengeance to reside,
But love and kindness, side by side.

**A Found Friend**

On a grey street of the city vast,
I spotted a tiny ball of black,
A kitten, drenched, in the cold it shook,
Forgotten, frightened, a messy little pack.

As if woven from shadows deep,
Hungry, defenceless, so small,
My heart was torn, I could not keep
From taking him in, no thought at all.

In his tiny eyes, like peas aglow,
Suddenly joy began to bloom,
He sensed that on this dismal day,
Beneath the sound of rain’s gentle boom,

He found a friend, a shelter at last.
Years have flown, time has passed very fast.
Ten years now, side by side we dwell,
Together always, in harmony swell.

And once more the rain taps on the roof,
My fluffy one purrs with tender grace,
As if to say: 'I love you, my truth,
You’re my life; I love your embrace,

Believe me, I need nothing more.'
I set aside his cherished toy,
And in reply, with heart so pure,
I reply: 'You’re my joy, my dear little kittyboy.

Thank you, sweet friend, for that stormy day,
For letting me take you home, come what may.
Grateful am I, for you found your way,
Into my life, where forever you stay.'

**Raindrops of Love**

Let the springtime rain softly fall,
Into your open hands, take it all.
A drop of tenderness, a quiet flame,
To brighten hearts, to call your name.

And let your soul’s windows bloom,
With violets and forget-me-nots in tune.
A cosmic garden stretching wide,
Filling the void where shadows hide.

Raindrops of love falling from your hands,
Healing the broken, mending the strands.
Through storms of sorrow, through skies of gray,
You’ll light the dark and show the way.

Share your joy with those who roam,
Lost where loneliness builds its home.
And when their hopes begin to fade,
Be the warmth in the cold cascade.

For kindness given, free of gain,
Can heal the soul, dissolve the pain.
Ignite a trust that lights their night,
And melt the frost with love’s pure might.

Raindrops of love falling from your hands,
Healing the broken, mending the strands.
Through storms of sorrow, through skies of gray,
You’ll light the dark and show the way.

Oh, let the sorrow wash away,
Let the lonely find their day.
May their hearts hear a bird in flight,
Singing faith into endless night.

And in those hearts, let love reside,
Casting grief and loss aside.
With dreams re-found and hope reborn,
A brighter dawn will greet the morn.

Raindrops of love falling from your hands,
Healing the broken, mending the strands.
Through storms of sorrow, through skies of gray,
You’ll light the dark and show the way.

In a magical springtime’s tender embrace,
You’ll touch unseen hearts, leaving your trace.
Washing regrets with your love’s embrace,
Guiding them toward a brighter place.

Raindrops of love, gentle and true,
A gift of the soul, from me to you.

**A Painter's Love**
(English interpretation of the poetry of Andrei Voznesensky)

In a humble abode, a painter did dwell,
With canvases and brushes, his story to tell.
But his heart held a flame for an actress so fair,
Whose love for blossoms was beyond compare.

To win her affection, he sold his home,
And paintings he cherished, his livelihood gone.
With the fortune he gained, he bought roses so red,
A sea of crimson, a love-token to spread.

A million, a million, a million red blooms,
Peering through windows, dispelling the glooms.
For love's sweet embrace, he'd turned his life's thread
Into a tapestry of roses, a garden unspread.

As dawn's light broke, she gazed from her pane,
A dreamlike vision, a floral domain.
But her heart sank low, a chill in her bones,
For behind the roses, a pauper alone.

Their meeting was brief, her train whisked her away,
But the memory of roses would haunt her each day.
And though the painter lived on, a solitary soul,
The square of red blossoms would forever extol
His love's grand gesture, a testament true,
A symphony of roses, forever in view.

**Sing to Us, Oh Merry Wind**

A poetic adaptation in English, inspired by the joyful, adventurous spirit of a song by Vasily Lebedev-Kumach 'Merry Wind'.

Oh merry wind, come sing to me, your travels wide and free,
You’ve roamed the mountains, crossed the seas, a keeper of melody.
Tell the tales of untamed peaks, where the wild whispers roar,
And of the ocean’s deepest dreams, its mysteries to explore.

Sing of soaring skies and blue horizons, vast and unconfined,
Of brave hearts and fearless souls, the heroes of mankind.
For those who fight for victory, come join the joyous sound,
The one who smiles will find the light, the seeker makes the ground!

Oh merry wind, with countless songs, your stories paint the air,
Of forests dense, where shadows dance, and beasts leave trails so rare.
Hum the rustle of the night, the strength of iron will,
The jubilation of the fight, the battle cry that thrills.

Sing of soaring skies and blue horizons, vast and unconfined,
Of brave hearts and fearless souls, the heroes of mankind.
For those who fight for victory, come join the joyous sound,
The one who smiles will find the light, the seeker makes the ground!

Sing of glory, courage’s flame, of scholars and their might,
Of fighters strong, and hearts so bold, who face the darkest night.
Let every heart ignite with pride, let dreams take endless flight,
To rise beyond what came before, and chase the endless light.

Oh merry wind, weave springtime’s tune, the songs of earth and sky,
Where trumpets call, and voices soar, as hearts learn to defy.
Let the rhythm guide each step, with joy in every beat,
In harmony, we’ll blaze our trail, together, we’ll compete.

Sing of soaring skies and blue horizons, vast and unconfined,
Of brave hearts and fearless souls, the heroes of mankind.
For those who fight for victory, come join the joyous sound,
The one who smiles will find the light, the seeker makes the ground!

Oh merry wind, your song resounds, in hearts both young and old,
A timeless hymn of strength and dreams, its beauty pure and bold.
So sing to us, oh merry wind, bring stories from afar,
Remind us all to rise and shine, to chase each brighter star.
