Thread: Ruki Vverh song

I am not a big fan of Ruki Vverh, but I was listening to their album and found this song rather interesting.
Can somebody please check for mistakes?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

омут
whirlpool

Refrain:
В омут твоих глаз
Снова упаду
Полюбил тебя
На свою беду
И не убежать
От твой любви
Все, чем я живу
Это только ты

In the whirlpool of your eyes
Again I shall fall
I fell in love with you
in my misfortune
And not to run away
From your love
Everything, with that I live
This is only you

Все дороги к тебе заколдованы
Между нами стеной темный лес стоит
Где найти мне тебя, мое солнышко
Птичьим криком к тебе боль моя летит
Камнем вниз упаду, крылья обломав
И, поднявшись с колен, тихо прошепчу
Где же прячешься ты, мое солнышко
Отзовись, я тебя так давно ищу

All roads to you are bewitched
Between us stands a wall of dark woods
Where am I to find you, my sun
my pain flies with a bird-like shout to you
I shall fall downward like a stone, my wings having broken off
And, having risen from my knees, I silently whisper
Where do you hide, my sun
Answer me, I search for you for so long

Refrain:

Я прощаюсь с холодною осенью
Понимаю, что мы не увидимся
Над лесами, над снежною проседью
Я искать тебя буду, любимая
Ветер чувства мои в клочья разорвал
И холодным ручьем слезы как вода
Не найти мне тебя, мое солнышко
И с тобою не быть уже никогда


I say goodbye with the coming of the cold autumn
I understand, that we shall not meet
Above the woods, above the snowy frost
I will search for you, my love
The wind tore my feelings into ribbons
And tears like water with the cold brook
I cannot find you, my sun
And already never to be with you

Refrain:

Полюбил тебя
На свою беду
И не убежать
От твой любви

To fall in love is Влюбляться. Полюбить is just to like somebody / be fond of.

So, i would translate this as.

I've grown fond of you
to my misfortune
i cant /to not run away from your love

Между нами стеной темный лес стоит

I guess your translation is right but i dont understand why Стена is стеной.

мое солнышко

A better translation to english would probly be Sunshine. No one calls their lovers 'sun' but tons of people call them 'sunshine' (mine does )

я тебя так давно ищу
I search for you for so long

While ищу is in present tense, Давно can only talk about things that happend in the past, so the correct translation is "I've been searching for you for so long" Or something like that.

Я прощаюсь с холодною осенью
I say goodbye with the coming of the cold autumn

Isnt it just I say goodbye with (to) the cold autumn (fall)?

Понимаю, что мы не увидимся
I understand, that we shall not meet

We wont see each other again

И с тобою не быть уже никогда
And already never to be with you

Уже doesnt mean already here. When you use it with a negation it means "No longer"

Я уже не добрый человек - I'm not a good person anymore
So its more like ' And to never be with you' or Ill never be with you.

Thanks Dogboy.

It's the construction that requires instrumental. Some examples:
стоять стеной - stand as a wall
упасть камнем - fall down as a stone
камнем пойти на дно - sink to the bottom as a stone
птицей взвиться к небу - soar up to the sky as a bird

упасть камнем - fall down as a stone
камнем пойти на дно - sink to the bottom as a stone

So I guess the proper translation would be:

Between us stands as a wall, the dark woods
or maybe
The dark woods stands between us like a wall

I do not see a whole lot of difference between Полюбить and Влюбляться. Well, the latter is more specific, one can also say "я полюбил пельмени" for example, but in this context they are pretty much equivalent.
Russian (like English actually) does not have separate roots for sensual love and "liking something a lot".

But there is a diffrence.

Friendy.

Couldn't u just say Стоит как, будто, словно... etc Стена?

Your first translation was better, what I wrote was just for understanding how the construction woks.

Sure. I think using instrumental is a little more poetic though.

As always is the case.
