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.

Дождь (МакСим) / Rain (Maksim)

Found this song yesterday, and I have been humming it ever since. Makes me think of Mom...

Here are the lyrics in Russian:

Про небо в январе, знаешь только ты
Про мои сны, знаешь cтолько...
Мне некуда бежать
Не могу сказать, как устало солнце биться.

Привев:
А я и не знала, как люблю дождь
Туман в городе моём серый
И он цвета глаз твоих, цвета волос
И имя серое твоё дождь.

Встречь, знать бы по часам
Видеть по рукам, сколько мне дышать,
Так раз и навсегда, всё бы отдала
За простое "я скучаю"...

Припев.

А я и не знала...
Туман в городе моём..
А я и не знала...

Взяв за руку c собой, краску смыл водой
Так целует дождь,
Взгляд прочь бегущих лиц
Что же ты стоишь, заболеешь прячься слышишь...


Word-for-word translation:

About the sky in January, you are the only one who knows.
About the dreams you know so much.
I have no place to run,
I cannot tell you how much this sun is tired of beating...

Chorus:
I didn't even know how much I loved rain,
The fog in my gray city.
It is the color of your eyes, color of your hair,
It is your gray name, Rain.

How many meetings, if I could read the watch,
If I could read the hands, how much longer to breathe.
Once and for all, I could give up all
For a simple "I miss you"

Chorus:
I didn't even know how much I loved rain,
The fog in my gray city -
It is the color of your eyes, color of your hair,
It is your gray name, Rain.


And I didn't even know...
The fog in my city...
And I didn't even know...


It took my hand, washed away my make-up,
This is the kiss of the rain.
The eyes of the faces running by,
So, why are you standing there, you will get cold, go hide, you hear me?

Chorus:
I didn't even know how much I loved rain,
The fog in my gray city.
It is the color of your eyes, color of your hair,
It is your gray name, Rain.


My "makes sense in English" translation:

You are the only one who knows about the sky in January.
You know so much about my dreams.
I have no place to run,
I cannot even tell you how much this sun is tired of beating...

Chorus:
I didn't even know how much I loved rain...
The fog in my gray city-
It is the color of your eyes, color of your hair,
It is your gray name, Rain.

If only I could tell by the watch, how many more meetings we have,
If only I could read the hands to see how much longer I have to breathe.
Once and for all, I could give up everything
For a simple "I miss you"

Chorus:
I didn't even know how much I loved rain...
The fog in my gray city -
It is the color of your eyes, color of your hair,
It is your gray name, Rain.


And I didn't even know...
The fog in my city...
And I didn't even know...


It took my hand and washed off my make-up -
This is the kiss of the rain.
The eyes of different faces are running by,
So, why are you standing there? You will get cold, go inside, you hear me?

Chorus:
I didn't even know how much I loved rain...
The fog in my gray city -
It is the color of your eyes, color of your hair,
It is your gray name, Rain.
