За вздохом утренним мороза,
Румянец уст приатварЯ,
Как странно улыбнулась роза
В день быстролетней сентября!
Перед порхающей синицей
В давно безлИственных кустах
Как дерзко выступать царИцей
С приветом вЕшним на устАх.
РасцвЕсть в надежде неуклонной —
С холодной разлучась грядой,
ПрИльнуть последней, опьянённой
К груди хозяйки молодой!
Beyond the morning frost’s soft sigh,
With lips half-parted, flushed and fair,
How strangely smiled the rose on high
On swift September’s fleeting air!
Before the fluttering chickadee
Amid the long-leafless shrubs she stands—
How boldly steps this queen, carefree,
With springtime greetings on her lips.
To bloom with steadfast hope once more,
Parting from cold, unyielding rows,
And press, the last—intoxicated—
Against her youthful mistress’ breast!
За вздохом утренним мороза,
Румянец уст приатварЯ,
Как странно улыбнулась роза
В день быстролетней сентября!
Перед порхающей синицей
В давно безлИственных кустах
Как дерзко выступать царИцей
С приветом вЕшним на устАх.
РасцвЕсть в надежде неуклонной —
С холодной разлучась грядой,
ПрИльнуть последней, опьянённой
К груди хозяйки молодой!
Beyond the morning frost’s soft sigh,
With lips half-parted, flushed and fair,
How strangely smiled the rose on high
On swift September’s fleeting air!

How boldly steps this queen, carefree,
With springtime greetings on her lips.
To bloom with steadfast hope once more,
Parting from cold, unyielding rows,

[Verse]
Counting steps on a path so tight
Each breath whispers into the night
His shadow bends
The stars align
The sky drops petals
A quiet shrine
[Chorus]
Steps and breaths
A rhythm divine
Falling flowers
A cosmic sign
Steps and breaths
The world unwinds
In this dance
The stars are mine
[Verse 2]
The earth hums low
A secret tune
The wind wraps round like a silk cocoon
Each step a story
Each breath a line
Under this sky
The moments shine
[Bridge]
How many steps till the edge of time
How many breaths till the stars combine
Counting on
The night won't tell
Lost in the sway of this quiet spell
[Chorus]
Steps and breaths
A rhythm divine
Falling flowers
A cosmic sign
Steps and breaths
The world unwinds
In this dance
The stars are mine
[Verse]
Counting steps on a path so tight
Each breath whispers into the night
His shadow bends
The stars align
The sky drops petals
A quiet shrine

Steps and breaths
The world unwinds
