Thread: Julia Savicheva - Visako

Не забывай, - помни меня.
Ты не один - навсегда вдвоем.
Не забывай, - пламя огня,
Где мы с тобой, греем себя.

Я улечу, в себе,
Я улечу, к тебе.

На небо за звездой - высоко.
Тихий полет - это легко

На небо за звездой - высоко.
Тихий полет - это легко

Не забывай, в сердце моем
Песни твои - навсегда с тобой.
Не забывай - ночи без сна,
Где мы с тобой - я не одна.

Я улечу, в себе,
Я улечу, к тебе.

На небо за звездой - высоко.
Тихий полет - это легко

На небо за звездой - высоко.
Тихий полет - это легко

Не забывай
----------
translation???

Don't forget me
You're not alone; we're together forever
Don't forget the fire we sat beside
warming ourselves.

I shall fly up within myself
And shall fly up to you.

To reach the sky to get a star, it's high.
A calm flight that seems easy.

Don't forget that your songs are kept within my heart.
And it's always with you.
Don't forget the sleepless nights
Where you and me; and i'm not alone.

----the rest repeats.

There is just one thing that I believe you have forgotten to translate.

Не забывай, - помни меня.
Don't forget, remember me.

You translated the first part, but you forgot to do the latter part.

That is the only thing that I saw...

Heh, thanks.
Isn't it redundant to say the same things anyway?

I love that song... reminds me of Novgorod

And I always thought it meant to go to the sky behind the star... I guess it is to get the star.

It's difficult to figure that out. Too metaphoric.

How do you imagine that?

If, by asking how do I imagine that, you mean how I imagine her reaching a sky behind a star, I don't. It would then be a metaphor of something unreachable, maybe even an allusion to Heaven.

If, by asking how do I imagine that, you mean how I imagine that the translation to "на небо за звездой" is "to the sky behind the star", I look at the grammar. "за звездой" means "behind the star" and with an implicit verb of motion (лететь) coupled with "на небо" would mean to the sky, no? or would it be "в небо / к небу"?

The first one.

К небу = toward the sky, it's about a direction.

Я иду на рынок - I want to get there.
Я иду к рынку - I walk in the direction of the market.

- Ты куда?
- На рынок.
- Зачем?
- Квашеной капусты купить на закуску.

- Ты куда?
- К рынку.
- А чё там?
- Там (у рынка) магазин хороший, водку дешёвую продают.

And "лететь в небо" sounds not good.
