Нигатив - Вверх - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

Why are there no stars visible in the city?

This question seriously troubles me.

And the gleam of shop windows and the stylish,

Flashy light of advertising spotlights won't replace them, forget it!

The light of streetlights and traffic lights is depressing.

The city somehow obscures their cascade.

As if there's a dome of dreams –

Unfulfilled, a couple of someone's tears.

This is important to me, very important, really.

Perhaps you don't understand the torments of a provincial man.

There are millions, billions of them right by the sea.

Garlands of billions of fireflies in the celestial field.

To say what worries me is to remain silent.

Because who knows – maybe they are here, but I am blind.

Maybe it's a natural consequence of my wanderings.

Maybe the darkness has devoured them because of human vices.

Maybe it's all in vain? Maybe, but that's unlikely...

Night, and I'm in the park again, gazing upwards.

I gaze upwards. I'm looking for them again, but in vain.

Because it's important for all of us to know that the world is whole, not in pieces.

I gaze upwards. I'm looking for them again, but in vain.

For the umpteenth time they are not there. This is important to me, honestly.

In childhood, I could watch them for hours,

Drawing invisible lines.

Drawing patterns, islands and pyramids.

In the same place, hiding from my parents.

At five years old, I should have been sleeping at this time,

But I wasn't sleepy, because I was completely absorbed in them.

Decades later, I gaze upwards again,

But they are not there – those starting points for my drawings.

Maybe they were shrouded in the smoke of city factories?

If so, then we've reached the limit. Maybe the locals scared them away. Namesakes in flashy, glittering outfits, on radio and TV broadcasts,

Are somehow also called stars.

We are only concerned with what is under our feet.

The sky is leaving us, just as we are leaving it.

There's a clear, night expanse up there, just look up.

I gaze upwards. I'm searching for them again, but in vain.

Because it's important for all of us to know that the world is whole, not in pieces.

I gaze upwards. I'm searching for them again, but in vain.

For the umpteenth time, they're not there. It's important to me, honestly.

I gaze upwards.

I gaze upwards.
