(Translation of song from Ukrainian to English)

The strings sound softly, night has fallen on my shoulder
I hold your name, like a fire only in my soul

You are silent, your thoughts are flying somewhere in the distance
I'm afraid that you will leave and leave me in the darkness
I watch as your gentle hands tremble
I so want to be near, to share all the torments

I will always be by your side, my friend, believe me
If the cold comes — I will melt this snow and the air
Don't be afraid, I won't disappear, I will become a light for you
You and I, through everything, even through storm and deception

If pain finds you, I will accept it too
If the world falls — I will rush to lift it without limits
You are like a heart to me, that beats beneath my skin
And I pray for us every night, to remain with you

I will always be by your side, my friend, believe me
If the cold comes — I will melt this snow and the air
Don't be afraid, I won't disappear, I will become a light for you
You and I, through everything, even through storm and deception

A string quietly whispers about love and about dreams
You are always to me — a light in my clear skies
