Текст песни Ольга Арефьева - Табакера

Snuff
Goran Bregovic Kaya
trans. Olga Arefieva

Today i'm lying
Lonely in bed
Only tobacco to me -
Girlfriend and help.

Goes to eternity Tuesday
The window is shining
I take tobacco
And remember:

It's time to go to bed
But before I fall asleep
I light it quietly
Instead of a kiss.

Are you falling asleep somewhere
And it’s like I’m near
Your initials
I caress.

That snuff
The gift of farewell dreams and words
About the snuff,
It's like your love in her
About Tobacco
You can touch and open -
And there is no more separation:
Oh snuff!
The smoke draws in like sweet poison
About the snuff,
My pain will subside
About the snuff,
Smoke poison bitterness
From tobacco and pain!

You fall asleep somewhere
So late, so early
Nothing like before
Nothing like a wound:

It's time to go to bed
But before I fall asleep
I am instead of your lips -
I will kiss a cigarette.

I am comforted in sadness
Breathing in the smoke little by little
Touching your hand
Initials.
