Нас Нет (И. Билык) / We are Gone (I. Bilyk)

I don't care much for the song itself (I think it is a bit contradictory in places, and too sugary-sweet), but I am in love with the melody. So, this time I am translating it only so that I could put my own, less syrupy words onto the melody.


Нас Нет (Ирина Билык)






    Незаметно уходит день
    Мы свою отпускаем тень
    На свет, на свет
    Все равно, что там за окном
    Обо дном мысли , обо дном
    Нас нет, нас нет


    Для всех нас просто нет,
    Отключим телефон
    В глазах надежды след
    Признаний полутон
    Томление огня и тени силует
    Молчание, глубина
    Для всех нас просто нет



    Эта ночь на двоих одна
    Нас запомнит по именам
    Она, она
    Я минуты не тороплю
    Я желанья твои ловлю
    Люблю, люблю

    Для всех нас просто нет,
    Отключим телефон
    В глазах надежды след
    Признаний полутон
    Томление огня и тени силует
    Молчание, глубина
    Для всех нас просто нет





Word-for-word translation:

We are Gone (Irina Bilyk)

The day is insensibly disappearing,
We are letting our shadow go
Into the world, into the world.
Who cares what is outside the window,
All thought are only about one thing.
We are gone, we are gone.

Chorus:
For everyone else - we are just gone,
The phone is turned off.
The light of hope is in our eyes,
And the subdued tone of our declarations.
The smoldering fire,
The shadows of our silhouette,
The depth of the silence..
For everyone - we are just gone.



This night is for both of us,
And will remember us by name
This night, this night
I am not rushing the minutes,
I am predicting your wishes,
I love you, I love you.



Chorus:
For everyone else - we are just gone,
The phone is turned off.
The light of hope is in our eyes,
And the subdued tone of our declarations.
The smoldering fire,
The shadows of our silhouette,
The depth of the silence..
For everyone - we are just gone.

My own version - Draft 1

On the plane from Moscow to NY



We are Gone (Irina Bilyk)

Hands of clocks are moving slow,
We are letting our shadows go,
Go home, go home.
Velvet paws of approaching night,
And who cares what is outside.
We are gone, we are gone.

For everyone we are gone, 
Let's turn off our phone,
It's past the midnight mark,
Our whispers in the dark...
The trembling of the light.
One candle until dawn,
The silence of the night,
For everyone - we are gone.
For everyone - we are gone.

And this night's just for your and me,
Quiet island in the stormy sea...
We are free.. we are free...
And these minutes are just too few
For our silent dreams to come true.
Love you... love you...


For everyone we are gone, 
Let's turn off our phone,
It's past the midnight mark,
Our whispers in the dark...
The trembling of the light.
One candle until dawn,
The silence of the night,
For everyone - we are gone.
For everyone - we are gone.

We are gone...
For everyone - we are gone.
