The oldest song from all the album. It was composed in 2010, but the only reason why i decided to bring it back to life is the next track
lyrics
Lyrics translation by Velvet R. Wings
Without single praying
Like someone fell down from the roof
You're born once more maybe
And someone is caring for you
You're shining so brightly
Like any new life can be bright
Oh who is this mortal
Who's happy to be by your side?
So heavy is blessing
And this prophecy seems so light
Oh someone please tell me
In which cradle lies my love?
You'll never be sold out
My jealousy can tell you that
I'm going to find you
Across our great motherland
I'll cross in the midnight
All lands and all borders I'll find
Oh where is my wounded
Oh where I can look in his eyes
I'll take him, I'll miss him
I'll give to him all of my heart
Oh who please can whisper
In which cradle lies my love?
I see pearly grains
I see that muslin sleepy veil
And looks so much like thorns
Those sharp-toothed shades on your face
Not curtain, but white bird's
Protecting you with her great wings
And to be born once more,
That could be swept by winter winds?!
Fly higher I beg you!
Just don't give away! Hold high!
Oh who will breathe me
In which cradle lies my love?
But all of these stories
More likely will never come true
That's how this world is
And nothing can bring back you
Your eyes looked so tired
This sight I can never forget
I will never see you
You'll sleep till the world comes to end
The country pasture
Reliable, rusty and quiet
The old guard will show me
In which cradle lies my love.
