Волки, БИ-2 / Wolves, BI-2 - my version (revision 1)







1. The wolves are leaving for the skies,
2. The cold light's shining in their eyes, 
3. And to rely on a fortune is
4. No longer wise.
5. And every day a different test
6. They don't know pain, they don't know rest.
7. The other pack is ready for
8. The brazen guests...

Chorus:
9.  The souls cling to the day
10. To find our way
11. At any cost.
12. The light is growing thin
13. I feel with my skin -
14. We are all lost.

15. They don't see dreams, don't recall words,
16. They outgrew their own gods,
17. And growing worn are rugged blades
18.  Of their swords.
19. The shame and glory run in their blood,
20. Their death and love lay the mud,
21. But one cannot completely tame
22. A wild heart...

Chorus (twice)

The wolves are leaving....
The wolves are leaving...
The wolves are leaving...

Волки, БИ-2 / Wolves, BI-2 - my version

My version of "Wolves." I am quite pleased with my efforts, except for the chorus. I is not as expressive as I would like (some meaning got lost) because it is difficult to make complete sentences out of 1-2 words in English, so I had to fit 1 sentence into 3 stanzas to substitute for 3 Russian sentences....

I will check with Michael  about stanza #5, it seems to me it HAS to have "there is" in that sentence, but it won't fit in m melody-wise....



1. The wolves are leaving for the skies,
2. The cold light's shining in their eyes, 
3. And to believe in fortune is
4. No longer wise.
5. And every day a different test
6. They don't know pain, they don't know rest.
7. The other pack is ready for
8. The brazen guests...

Chorus:
9. The souls cling to the day
10. To get away
11. At any cost.
12. We can escape, but we can't win
13. I feel with my skin -
14. It is all lost.

15. They can't see dreams, can't recall words,
16. They have become their own lords,
17. And in the end they will fall on
18. Their own swords.
19. The shame and glory are in their blood,
20. The death and love lay in the mud,
21. But one cannot completely tame
22. A wild heart...

Chorus (twice)

The wolves are leaving....
The wolves are leaving...
The wolves are leaving... 


P.S. I just found out that there are no minus-versions of this song available online. So, I am really sad.

Волки, БИ-2 / Wolves, BI-2

I wanted to make a decent translation for this song, and, possibly, make my own version. It is not one of my most favorite BI-2 songs, but the melody is very relaxing to me, and I feel like it would be fun to play with it for a bit.



Волки уходят в небеса
Горят холодные глаза
Приказа верить в чудеса
Не поступало
И каждый день другая цель
То стены гор то горы стен
И ждет отчаянных гостей
Чужая стая

Припев:
Спиной к ветру и все же
Вырваться может
Чья-то душа
Спасет но не поможет
Чувствую кожей
Пропащая

Не видят снов не помнят слов
Переросли своих отцов
И кажется рука бойцов
Колоть устала
Позор и слава в их крови
Хватает смерти и любви
Но сколько волка не корми
Ему все мало


My "true to the text" translation":

The wolves are leaving for the skies,
The cold eyes are glowing.
No one gave an order to believe in miracles.
And every new day there is a new target.
One day it is the walls of the mountains,
The other - it is the mountains of walls.
And the other pack
Is already waiting for the brazen guests...

Chorus:
Standing with back to the wind,
And yet
Someone's soul might get away.
It will save, but it won't help.
I feel with my skin -
It is all lost.

They don't see dreams, don't remember words,
They outgrew their parents.
And it seems that the fighters' hands are growing tired.
The shame and glory run in their blood,
And plenty of death and love to go around.
But no matter how well you feed the wolf,
The call of the wild is stronger...

Chorus:
Standing with back to the wind,
And yet
Someone's soul might get away.
It will save, but it won't help.
I feel with my skin -
It is all lost.

The wolves are leaving...
The wolves are leaving...
The wolves are leaving...
