Thread: Song lyrics

Can someone translate this song by Valeria for me? I love the sound of it and would like to know what it means.


Была любовь

Вот и всё вышло так
Удержать не смог в своих руках
Ты моей любви
И не друг, и не враг
Я могла любить тебя, но как
Птице в клетке жить
Ты прости, я улетаю
Ведь я теперь совсем другая
Ведь я теперь как птица в высоте небес

Была любовь
Была, но только все прошло
В тебе другая сегодня я
Одна, одна
Птицей улететь смогла
Была ли любовь любовью

Каждый раз по ночам
Молча плакать и хотеть кричать
От своих обид
Не должна, не могла
Жить с тобою так, как я жила
Ты меня прости
Ты живи - я улетаю
Ведь я теперь совсем другая
Ведь я теперь как птица в высоте небес

Была любовь
Была, но только всё прошло
В тебе другая сегодня я
Одна, одна
Птицей улететь смогла
Была ли любовью твоя любовь

Была одна
Была, да выпита до дна
Любовь другая сегодня я
Одна, одна
Птицей улететь смогла
Была ли любовь любовью
Была ли любовью твоя любовь

My attempt (please correct my mistakes. Also I couldn't understand the lyrics in some places, so couldn't translate correctly ):

There was love.

Everything turned out as
You can't keep my love in your hands.
Neither friend nor enemy,
I could love you, but how
Can bird live in the cage?
Forgive me, I'm flying away.
I'm quite different now
I'm like a bird in the height of the sky now.

There was love
There was, but all is over
There is another me in you today ( )
Alone, alone
Was able to fly away like a bird.
Was the love a love?

Every time at night
To weep silently and to want to cry
Of your insults
I mustn't, I can't
Live with you how I lived before
Please forgive me
Live (you allowed to live) -- I'm flying away
I'm quite different now
I'm like a bird in the height of the sky now.

There was love
There was, but all is over
There is another me in you today ( )
Alone, alone
Was able to fly away like a bird.
Was the love a love?

I was one person
I was, but was drained dry.
Today I'm an another love
Alone, alone
Was able to fly away like a bird.
Was the love a love?
Was your love a love?

I know this song. It was one of my favorites last year.

Here is Katya's interpretation.

Valeriya (Valeria)
There Was Love


There it goes, this is how it is
You couldn't keep in your hands
My love
Neither friend, nor enemy
I could have loved you but
Keep living like a bird in a cage
Forgive me, I'm flying away
I'm just so different now
I'm just like a bird in the heights of the sky

There was love
Was love, but only it has gone
In you, I'm different today
Alone, alone
Like a bird could fly away
Was there love at all

Each time, during the night
Had to cry in silence, wanting to scream out loud
From my offences
I couldn't, I shouldn't have
Lived besides you like I did
Forgive me
Keep on living, I'm flying away
I'm just so different now
I'm just like a bird in the heights of the sky

There was love
Was love, but only it has gone
In you, I'm different today
Alone, alone
Like a bird could fly away
Was there love at all

There was love
There it was, all went away
Love, I am so different today
Alone, alone
Like a bird could fly away
Was there love at all
Was your love, love at all
