Время остановилось
между сказкой и былью
Я решил немного поиздеваться над любимой группой Моя попытка построчного перевода (литературный перевод - это выше моих сил). В общем, я открыт для критики.

THE BRIDGE OVER THE MISTY BAY
The time had stopped
between fairytale and reality
I stand on cold slabs
covered with stardust
The bridge over the misty bay
Painfully familiar feeling
I close my eyes and I’m melting down,
Falling into imponderability
The sea dreams of thunder
Soft grasses dream of dew
The free wind dreams of
wings and sails
But I am the one who cannot sleep
Today, I am imprisoned
by bittersweet memories,
which bring back this spring

Despite of frost
Sprouts burst to life…
The moon waxes…
The dreams sail through years
Through sea tides
Through April rains
And I wish it lasts forever

Sounds and colors rushed
like unstoppable flow
And the final bound of tension
of nerve fibers was broken
Incredible whirlwinds
don’t allow to hold myself
They pull me from the earth
despite of law of gravitation

Kilometers of wild grasses…
The campfire keeps burning…
Honeycombs get filled with honey…
And the wine brims over…
And the threads of roads weaves themselves
Into necklace of sleepless nights…
And all of this just for me to fall asleep
On your shoulder someday

Rustle of crumpled pages…
Boundless ocean…
I feel every beat
of your heart
Silent whisper and scream
of intonations and rhymes…
I whish it lasts forever…

The time had stopped
between fairytale and reality
I stand on cold slabs
covered with stardust
The bridge over the misty bay
Painfully familiar feeling
I close my eyes and I’m melting down,
Falling into imponderability

Volcanoes slumber in the haze…
Clouds sink into the water…
The immense world reflected in your eyes
Is full of mysteries…
And I still cannot sleep
I am imprisoned forever
Because all the roads in the end
Return to this spring

Despite of frost
Sprouts burst to life…
The moon waxes…
The dreams sail through years
Through sea tides
Through April rains
And I wish it lasts forever

I will continue to translate songs if it makes sense.
