Сердце в тясячу свечей (Ирина Дубцова) / The 1000 lumens heart (Irina Dubtsova) - my version

Whew, this song was a seriously tough one to translate. I was trying to hard to preserve the unique images of the original song while at the same time fighting the usual sentence-size issues, and, well, rhyming issues of course. I like my translation so far, except for the lack of rhyme of the "And I will stay here" piece...

1000-Lumen Heart

I have set you free,

I know you desire

The shade of another tree.

Go soar in the sky,

But close to the fire,

I beg you, please do not fly.

And I will stay here,

And try to explain time and time again

To all silent rooms and friends who are calling

That all their hope is in vain.

Chorus:

The fire in my heart will shine above

The darkness of your night,

And will never dim, never go off

This 1000-lumen light.

The fire in my heart will shine above

The darkness of your night,

And will never dim, never go off

This 1000-lumen light.

And you were my tease,

And you were my peace,

And you were my war.

And you were strong,

And how do I long

So see you walk through my door.

And I will stay here,

And try to explain time and time again

To all silent rooms and friends who are calling

That all their hope is in vain.

Chorus:

The fire in my heart will shine above

The darkness of your night,

And will never dim, never go off

This 1000-lumen light.

The fire in my heart will shine above

The darkness of your night,

And will never dim, never go off

This 1000-lumen light.
