Текст песни Арсений Тарковский - Я тень из тех теней

I shadow of the shadows that once
Having drunk the water of the earth , does not quench your thirst
And returning to his flinty path ,
Confused dreams alive , take a sip of the water of life .

As the first boat from the womb of the ocean ,
As a sacrificial pitcher leaves the mound ,
So I 'll go up the stairs to the stage ,
Where will I wait your living shadow .

And if it's a lie , but if it is a fairy tale ,
And if you do not face a plaster mask
He looks out of the ground for each of us
Stones their hard tearless eyes ? ..
