All in a day's work. Today's goal of the day was to learn the Cyrillic alphabet and to get some practice transcribing it into the Roman alphabet. Since I've been addicted to this song by Vintazh (one of my favorite Russian groups ever), I decided to use it as practice. Now I can at least try to sing along to it (no one ever said Russian was an easy language to master, but hey, at least I'm getting used to the Russian sounds.) Of course, I added the English translation (compliments of Google translate) for all of you (and myself, too) to understand what's actually being said. Anyways, I think I can call it a night now... hehe. 'Twas a very productive day, indeed.
Винтаж – деревья
Vintazh – Derev'ya
Vintage - Trees
Твой кумир – полубог.
Tvoy
kumir – polubog
Your idol – a demigod
Он
придумал тебя, и ты поверил
On
pridumal tebya, i ti povyeril
He came up with you and you believe
В
пустоте, между строк
V pustotye mezhdu strok
In the void between the lines
Ты
коснулся любви, и она сгорела.
Ty
kosnulsya lyubvi, i ona sgoryela
You spoke of love, and she was burned.
Картинки, машинки, бумажки.
Kartinki,
mashinki, bumazhki
Pictures, typewriters, paper
А где настоящая жизнь?
A gdye
nastoyashchya zhizn
And where is the real life?
Ты утром проснёшься однажды.
Ty utrom
prosnish’sya odnazhdy
You wake up one day in the morning.
Скажи мне...
Skazhi
mnye
Tell me
Расскажи мне, где ты был?
Rasskazhi
mnye, gdye ty byl?
Tell me
where have you been?
Где ты был, когда на Земле любовь жила?
Gdye ty
byl, kogda na zemlye ljubov zhila
Where
were you when love is on earth live?
Где ты был, когда я одного тебя ждала?
Gdye ty
byl, kogda ya odnogo tyebya zhdala
Where were you when I’ve been waiting?
Когда деревья были большими,
Kodga
derev’ya byli bol’shimi
When the trees were large.
Когда все мальчики становятся мужчинами...
Kodga
vsye mal’chiki stanovyatsya muzhchinami
When all the boys became men…
Бей меня, мой сатир.
Byei
myenya, moi satir
Beat me, my satires
Только я прожила чуть больше жизни.
Tol’ko ya prozhila chut’ bol’shye zhizni
I lived only a little more life
И держу этот мир,
I derzhu
etot mir
And keep this world
Как ребёнка в руках, а ты отец лишь на
словах!
Kak
rebjonka v rukakh, a ty otets lish’ na slovakh
As a child in his hands, you are my father in
name only!

Kodga
vsye mal’chiki stanovyatsya muzhchinami
When all the boys became men…
И не играют больше в гонки и в войну,
I ne
igrayut bol’shye v gonki i v voynu
And do not play more in the race and the war…
Не разбивают на осколки тишину
Nye
razbivayut na oskolki tishinu
Do not break up into fragments silence
И целый мир они держат на ладони?
I tselyi oni
dyerzhat na ladoni
And the whole world they keep in the palm?
На ладони...
Na ladoni…
In the
palm…
Когда деревья были большими,
Kodga
derev’ya byli bol’shimi
When the trees were large.
Когда все мальчики становятся мужчинами...
Kodga
vsye mal’chiki stanovyatsya muzhchinami
When all the boys became men…
мужчинами...
Muzhchinami
Men
