Life, Life - Arseny Tarkovsky

Believe neither in omens nor forebodings

And run neither from poison nor poisoned words

There is no death. Everyone deathless. Everything eternal

We're all holding the same sacred cord

First Meetings - Arseny Tarkovsky

From the moment of our meeting, every second

Was blessed, I felt epiphany us beckoned

The world made just for you and me, your being

Shone brighter, pure as a dove's wing

In people I could now read

Stories of pettiness and spite

Silentium - Fyodor Tyutchev

Live quietly, hide and secret keep

Your feelings, dreams, shallow and deep

Let them in pockets of your soul

Take shape and settle, rise and fall

Like stars made just for you to see

Marvel at them - and let them be.

Last Toast - Anna Akhmatova

A toast for homes of brokenness

To my life sinful and untrue

Eternity bound in our loneliness

For this I raise my glass to you

And all to life we should be true

For our soul to grow richer

We must work harder for our due

Eternity - Ivan Bagaev

Let's love but never burn with love

Tame nor thoughts nor human will

To be wholeheartedly, decidedly alive

And fully give yourself to happiness and ill

The Colour of your Love Comes from Dreams - Ivan Bagaev

The colour of your love comes from dreams

From a distant likeness you appear

With a hint of smile on your lips

As always, waiting for me here

Dear to Heart - Ivan Bagaev

I want to walk the fields anew

Hear songs and whispering of rye

Watch stars fall there at night with you

And swifts at day - like Zeus' cry

Moldova Forest - Ivan Bagaev

Our Moldova with hills that stretch out

Over its gardens and vineyards

A forest she needs, gold and proud

Like a dress to dance to songs of bards

Poppies in the Field - Ivan Bagaev

At the place of a battle not long ago

A field stretches out, flock of birds in the sky

All I can see are crimson red poppies

Like bursts of blood on a canvas of rye
