It was quiet for me alone, I was of no use to anyone, And at night I leafed through the pages of old books. I leafed through someone else's happiness, But didn't notice my own, Changing the faces of my friends with the speed of fate. And I didn't get up from the table, When you came one day, And I didn't put out the candle, although it was late, Like a flood, like a deluge, All these tears, and then You suddenly fell asleep, and the stars caressed you. I won't come up to you, I won't touch you with my hand The golden domes suddenly lit up in the night's darkness. What are you doing to me, electric darkness, Where the golden domes burn like torches?! Everything was simple and easy, When you were far away, And I called you, jokingly, when necessary, We talked about nothing, And the lump that was rising in my throat I drove to the bottom of my soul, like into the depths of a well. Yes, I called you, jokingly! And you fell asleep like a child, tired of pain and your futile tears And I watched you sleep, At the golden domes, And I thought: "God! How beautiful they are!" I will not come to you, I will not touch you with my hand The golden domes suddenly lit up in the darkness of the night. What are you doing to me, electric darkness, Where, like torches, the golden domes burn?!
