Дождь (МакСим) / Rain (Maksim) - my lyrics

This one was a pain to translate because, as it turned out, there is not really a rhyme to most of the lines, but they were in sync somehow nevertheless. The only rhymes that were there were very short ones - very hard to imitate in English. Well, I did my best for now. I still have studies to do tonight, so this will have to do for now.

My version of the "Rain"

My January sky, cold and rainy dreams -
You are the only one who knows.
No place to go in this rain.
I cannot explain
How tired is this Sun of beating...

Chorus:
And I never knew how I loved rain.
The gray colors of the skies -
This is the color of your hair and your eyes,
This is a gray name: Rain.

If I could break the spell
So that I could tell
How much longer I have to breathe.
All my dreams, big and small,
I would give up all
For a simple "Hey I miss you!"

Chorus:
And I never knew how I loved rain.
The gray color of the skies -
This is the color of your hair and your eyes,
This is a gray name: Rain.


And I never knew...
The gray color...
And I never knew....

It took my hand again,
Washed away the pain,
This is the kiss of the rain.
Faces in the crowd disappear,
So why are you still here?
You will get cold, so get inside, my dear...

Chorus:

And I never knew how I loved rain.
The gray color of the skies -
This is the color of your hair and your eyes,
This is a gray name: Rain.
