СВЕТИ НАДО МНОЙ
SHINE OVER ME
[Куплет 1] · Verse 1
Сколько дорог ещё скрыто за краем рассвета?
How many roads are still hidden beyond the edge of dawn?
Сколько непрожитых жизней хранит тишина?
How many unlived lives does silence keep?
Кто мне ответит, зачем мы приходим на землю,
Who will tell me why we come to earth,
Если однажды нас всех забирает весна?
If one day spring takes us all away?
Можно прожить, не оставив ни следа на планете,
One can live without leaving a trace on the planet,
Можно одним лишь поступком чужую судьбу изменить.
One can change someone else's fate with just one act.
Но жизнь измеряется вовсе не прожитыми годами,
But life is not measured by the years lived at all,
А тем, сколько света другим удалось подарить.
But by how much light one managed to give to others.
[Припев] · Chorus
Свети надо мной, даже если сбился с пути,
Shine over me, even if I've lost my way,
Когда все дороги ведут в никуда.
When all roads lead nowhere.
Я больше не стану у жизни просить
I will no longer ask life
Ни лёгкой дороги, ни вечного сна.
For an easy road, nor for eternal sleep.
Пока моё сердце способно стучать,
As long as my heart is able to beat,
Пока есть причина подняться с колен,
As long as there's a reason to get up from my knees,
Я буду идти, даже если опять
I will keep going, even if again
Останусь один среди тысячи стен.
I remain alone among a thousand walls.
[Куплет 2] · Verse 2
Сколько имён растворилось в холодных рассветах,
How many names have dissolved in cold dawns,
Сколько мечтаний осталось лежать под землёй.
How many dreams remained lying underground.
Кто-то сражался за право остаться человеком,
Someone fought for the right to remain human,
Кто-то молчал, чтобы только вернуться домой.
Someone kept silent just to return home.
Но подвиг не только в победах и славе,
But heroism is not only in victories and glory,
Не только в наградах и громких речах.
Not only in awards and loud speeches.
Порой величайшая сила — остаться
Sometimes the greatest strength is to remain
Человеком в жестоких и трудных временах.
Human in cruel and difficult times.
[Припев] · Chorus
Свети надо мной, даже если сбился с пути,
Shine over me, even if I've lost my way,
Когда все дороги ведут в никуда.
When all roads lead nowhere.
Я больше не стану у жизни просить
I will no longer ask life
Ни лёгкой дороги, ни вечного сна.
For an easy road, nor for eternal sleep.
Пока моё сердце способно стучать,
As long as my heart is able to beat,
Пока есть причина подняться с колен,
As long as there's a reason to get up from my knees,
Я буду идти, даже если опять
I will keep going, even if again
Останусь один среди тысячи стен.
I remain alone among a thousand walls.
[Куплет 3] · Verse 3
Где же та воля, которую трудно измерить?
Where is that will that is hard to measure?
Где тот рассвет, за которым не нужно бежать?
Where is that dawn you don't need to run after?
Мы так боимся однажды остаться без веры,
We are so afraid of one day being left without faith,
Что забываем её выбирать.
That we forget to choose it.
Свобода — не там, где нет стен и цепей,
Freedom is not where there are no walls and chains,
Не там, где никто не диктует шаги.
Not where no one dictates your steps.
Она начинается в сердце твоём,
It begins in your heart,
Когда страх не решает, куда тебе идти.
When fear doesn't decide where you should go.
И пусть этот мир не всегда справедлив,
And even if this world is not always fair,
И пусть не на всё мы способны влиять.
And even if we cannot influence everything.
Но даже когда ничего не осталось,
But even when nothing is left,
У нас остаётся возможность выбирать.
We still have the ability to choose.
[Финальный припев — эмоциональный подъём] · Final Chorus - emotional uplift
Свети надо мной, пока есть что хранить,
Shine over me, while there is something to cherish,
Пока не закончился мой путь земной.
Until my earthly path is over.
Я не прошу у судьбы вечной жизни —
I don't ask fate for eternal life —
Я лишь хочу не расстаться с душой.
I just want not to part with my soul.
Пусть время сотрёт мои даты и лица,
Let time erase my dates and faces,
Пусть память однажды утихнет вдали.
Let memory one day fade away in the distance.
Но если хоть кто-то благодаря мне
But if at least someone, thanks to me,
Найдёт в себе силы продолжить идти —
Finds the strength within themselves to keep going —
Значит, не зря...
Then it wasn't in vain...
Значит, не зря...
Then it wasn't in vain...
Я жил на этой земле.
I lived on this earth.
