I Already Know
Lyrics
[Verse] Where did you come from, I keep asking, So suddenly amid the rush? Like an enchantress, with one bright look, You captured both my heart and mind. What do I do now? Where do I go? I wasn't looking for love just now, But it's too late, because every moment My heart is already burning in your gaze. [Chorus] I look at you and I already know This is more than a rush of passion. These feelings frighten me. I've fallen so deeply in love with you. I look at you and I already know What tomorrow holds, and every day after. I'm madly in love with you, And there's no getting away from you now. I already know... I already know... I already know... [Verse] I ask myself where you came from, Perhaps from a fairy tale with intoxicating worlds. You drive me wild every time, And now I know this won't pass soon. What do I do now? How do I approach you? I can't find the words at all. But it's too late, because every moment My heart is already burning in your gaze. [Chorus] I look at you and I already know This is more than a rush of passion. These feelings frighten me. I've fallen so deeply in love with you. I look at you and I already know What tomorrow holds, and every day after. I'm madly in love with you, And there's no getting away from you now. I already know... I already know... I already know... [Verse] I ask fate where you came from, Where you found such purity. Perhaps you'll give me your heart too, And we'll be together as if in a dream. How can I say it? How can I find the moment To make my way gently into your soul? Because it's too late now, every single moment, My heart is already burning in your gaze. [Chorus] I look at you and I already know This is more than a rush of passion. These feelings frighten me. I've fallen so deeply in love with you. I look at you and I already know What tomorrow holds, and every day after. I'm madly in love with you, And there's no getting away from you now. I already know... I already know... I already know... I already know... I already know... I already know...02
Let's Talk Without Words
Lyrics
[Verse] Another day has begun, And in the morning I'm off to class. Once again I hoped I might come up to you. You walk past me again. I silently watch you go. Yet with a fleeting glance, As always, I say hello. [Chorus] Let's talk without words, For words can sometimes lie, But there's no lie in the eyes. It's through the eyes that the soul shines. Let's talk without words, Let one soul touch another. Tell me with a glance If love is beating in your chest. [Verse] I'm walking downtown with friends. We talk as we go, Yet in my heart I feel I'm going to see you again. You walk past me again. And I'm burning up inside. And with a fleeting glance, As always, I say I love you. [Chorus] Let's talk without words, For words can sometimes lie, But there's no lie in the eyes. It's through the eyes that the soul shines. Let's talk without words, Let one soul touch another. Tell me with a glance If love is beating in your chest. [Verse] We're walking through Stryiskyi Park. Déjà vu catches up with me again. Because in some strange way My heart always knows where you are. You walk past me again. I smile as we say goodbye. With a fleeting glance, As always, I say love. [Chorus] Let's talk without words, For words can sometimes lie, But there's no lie in the eyes. It's through the eyes that the soul shines. Let's talk without words, Let one soul touch another. Tell me with a glance If love is beating in your chest.03
You're as Enchanting as…
Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Like a muse from my dreams, Like gold carried on the wind, You appeared in my life. I dreamed of you for a reason. I look at you and don't know What I'm supposed to do now. You're too perfect. Take me to paradise. [Pre Chorus] My heart burns and cries, Wild and feverish. I want to tell you You're as enchanting as... [Chorus] Like a dream just before dawn, Like the moon behind a veil of mist, Like music through a downpour, Like happiness for no reason. Like rain in the desert, Like a cloud above the cliffs, Like a wandering little flame. Like a heart in love. [Verse] Like light piercing darkness, Like spring in full bloom, You bring me happiness. Your gaze casts a spell on me. I look at you and burn, For I'm drowning in your eyes. You're too perfect. Take me to paradise. [Pre Chorus] My heart burns and cries, Wild and feverish. I want to tell you You're as enchanting as... [Chorus] Like a dream just before dawn, Like the moon behind a veil of mist, Like music through a downpour, Like happiness for no reason. Like rain in the desert, Like a cloud above the cliffs, Like a wandering little flame. Like a heart in love. [Instrumental Break] [Pre Chorus] My heart burns and cries, Wild and feverish. I want to tell you You're as enchanting as... [Chorus] Like a dream just before dawn, Like the moon behind a veil of mist, Like music through a downpour, Like happiness for no reason. Like rain in the desert, Like a cloud above the cliffs, Like a wandering little flame. Like a heart in love.04
Let Me Go
Lyrics
[Verse] Let me go, it's far too late, And snow has buried the road. Even though I still care, I've lost my way in the winds. Let me go, I'm tired. I have no strength to go on. I'd be better off staying home, Even though I need you. [Chorus] Let me go... Let me go... Let me go... Let me go... Let me go... Let me go... [Verse] Let me go, the leaves have fallen, And soon the snow will come. No matter how hard I fought fate, I couldn't win. Let me go, it's for the best. Wipe the scar from my heart. Let it forget everything And begin a new life. [Chorus] Let me go... Let me go... Let me go... Let me go... Let me go... Let me go... [Verse] Let me go, we're so different. We've walked completely different roads. Though I love you deeply, I doubt you'll love me back. Let me go, a time will come When there's no turning back. Your heart is dear to me, Yet your life is worlds away from mine. [Chorus] Let me go... Let me go... Let me go... Let me go... Let me go... Let me go... [Outro] Let me go, I'm begging you. No, wait, don't let me go. I truly love you. If you can, love me too.05
Your Smile
Lyrics
[Verse 1] The day seemed unremarkable, Like hundreds of other days. I wasn't in the best of moods, And I wanted nothing in the world. Then suddenly the world seemed to change And grew brighter for a moment, Because once again amid the city's noise Your gaze made my heart reel. [Pre-Chorus] Yes, I make everything so complicated. It could have been much simpler. When you smiled at me, I could have stayed and held you, Lifted you up in my arms And kissed you gently on the lips. Yet even that wouldn't be enough To show you all my love. [Chorus] So now I'm walking home, And I won't tell anyone What warms my soul Or what inspires my heart. You're the only one who needs to know. I can't help loving you, Because your enchanting smile Sets me on fire. [Verse 2] I could simply have said hello, Said a few warm words, But again my heart whispers: “That isn't enough for what you feel.” How can words convey What's been burning in my soul for years? Even the tenderest words would fall short, And your smile still goes to my head. [Pre-Chorus] Yes, I make everything so complicated. It could have been much simpler. When you smiled at me, I could have stayed and held you, Lifted you up in my arms And kissed you gently on the lips. Yet even that wouldn't be enough To show you all my love. [Chorus] So now I'm walking home, And I won't tell anyone What warms my soul Or what inspires my heart. You're the only one who needs to know. I can't help loving you, Because your enchanting smile Sets me on fire. [Verse 2] I could simply have said hello, Said a few warm words, But again my heart whispers: “That isn't enough for what you feel.” How can words convey What's been burning in my soul for years? Even the tenderest words would fall short, And your smile still goes to my head. [Pre-Chorus] Yes, I make everything so complicated. It could have been much simpler. When you smiled at me, I could have stayed and held you, Lifted you up in my arms And kissed you gently on the lips. Yet even that wouldn't be enough To show you all my love. [Chorus] So now I'm walking home, And I won't tell anyone What warms my soul Or what inspires my heart. You're the only one who needs to know. I can't help loving you, Because your enchanting smile Sets me on fire. [Outro] It sets me on fire And makes me love you with passion. That wonderful smile of yours, Yet I don't know what to say. Nothing would be enough: No words, no deeds, no heart of mine Could ever put into words How deeply one can fall in love. So I don't know what to do, Or how to change anything now. It's already grown too large, This thing I cannot stop. So I'll go home again And sink back into my thoughts, Drowning in your wonderful smile As I remember it.06
Every Day I Look for Your Eyes
Lyrics
[Verse] Longing for you devours everything inside me. No one but me knows how sad I am. If only I could see you and tell you everything. It's so hard to keep it inside day after day. But I haven't seen you in so long. The time I spent with you meant so much. All that's left in my heart is your tender gaze. Without it I can't be happy. [Chorus] Every day I look for your eyes, And every day I wait in this place. As I leave, the longing comes back. You still haven't come, and I don't know where you are. Every day I look for your eyes, I'd recognize your smile among all the others. Sad as I am, I still don't lose hope, Because I know I love you without restraint. [Verse] I can't eat and I can't sleep. It's hard to love you with you so far away. It's hard to punish myself day after day, Because I could have said it all, but I chose silence. Now I keep wandering through the places Where I saw you, searching every face. You're nowhere there, and I don't know what to do, Or where to find the one I love. [Chorus] Every day I look for your eyes, And every day I wait in this place. As I leave, the longing comes back. You still haven't come, and I don't know where you are. Every day I look for your eyes, I'd recognize your smile among all the others. Sad as I am, I still don't lose hope, Because I know I love you without restraint. [Verse] You'll come to me in dreams full of color, My favorite dreams, familiar by now. In those dreams I hold you tight And look into the eyes I love. But sunlight brings it all to an end. I'm alone in my bed, and you're not here. So I find the strength to leave the house And search again for the one I love. [Chorus] Every day I look for your eyes, And every day I wait in this place. As I leave, the longing comes back. You still haven't come, and I don't know where you are. Every day I look for your eyes, I'd recognize your smile among all the others. Sad as I am, I still don't lose hope, Because I know I love you without restraint. [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Every day I look for your eyes, And every day I wait in this place. As I leave, the longing comes back. You still haven't come, and I don't know where you are. Every day I look for your eyes, I'd recognize your smile among all the others. Sad as I am, I still don't lose hope, Because I know I love you without restraint.07
A Dream
Lyrics
[Verse 1] You came to me in a dream again And looked into my eyes, With that soft, tender gaze, So bright and full of love. And in that dream you asked me Why I always stay so quiet. If you don't know how to speak, I'd be glad to teach you. [Verse 2] You came to me in a dream again In the dream you nestled gently against me, And the fierce warmth of your body Felt like a wondrous gift. And in that dream you asked me Why don't you fly with me? If you don't know how to fly, I'd be glad to teach you. [Verse] You came to me in a dream again In the dream you grew tired in my arms, Lay there looking at me tenderly, And opened your heart to me. And in that dream you asked me Why haven't you lit a candle? If you don't know how to light it, I'd be glad to teach you. [Outro] And in that dream you asked me Why didn't you lift me in your arms? Why, in a rush you couldn't hold back, Didn't you kiss me on the lips? There's no use asking me this. I'd rather stay quiet. If you let me, you'll discover I can teach you this myself.08
My Angel
Lyrics
[Verse] In the desert of a city made of stone, Of bright and empty shop windows, Life passes unnoticed, And there's no reason for miracles. Though they say wonders never happen here, That this world is ordinary and plain, I know my own truth: My angel walks among us. [Chorus] My angel walks among us, Through the streets of old Lviv. We always see each other there, As if every meeting were by chance. My angel gives me strength, Leads me through storms and inspires me. My angel is all I have, Though afterward she always disappears into the distance. [Verse] In the desert of a city made of stone, Of bright and empty roads, It's so easy to lose your way, To drown in a sea of sins. None of that frightens me. To me it's time gone to waste. Because, unlike the others, I know: My angel walks among us. [Chorus] My angel walks among us, Through the streets of old Lviv. We always see each other there, As if every meeting were by chance. My angel gives me strength, Leads me through storms and inspires me. My angel is all I have, Though afterward she always disappears into the distance. [Verse] In the desert of a city made of stone, Of bright and empty lives, My angel keeps me warm Through cold and dark days. She lays out a path for me, And keeps my flame from going out. Tirelessly through the city streets, My angel walks among us. [Chorus] My angel walks among us, Through the streets of old Lviv. We always see each other there, As if every meeting were by chance. My angel gives me strength, Leads me through storms and inspires me. My angel is all I have, Though afterward she always disappears into the distance. [Outro] My angel walks beside me, Wandering down the old streets. My angel warms my soul, Then disappears again each time.09
The City Is Empty
Lyrics
[Verse] How long I waited for this moment To tell you everything I'd kept inside. I don't know why I put it off. Things would have happened as fate intended. Why did I wait so long For everything to happen by itself? I got in my own way and lost. Your trail dissolved into the haze. [Pre Chorus] While I was buying flowers, You had already flown out of the city. I stood sadly outside your home. Only the dark night met me there. [Chorus] Without you everything is empty. The city is dark and empty. Everyone has become a stranger. Fog has swallowed the mirages. Your plane has already flown away, And I got everything wrong. What I should have told you face to face May now be heard by the night alone. [Verse] How long I waited for this moment, But in the end I was too late. I have only myself to blame. I woke up to it much too late. It always seemed there was still time, But fate has plans of its own. And now the city is empty, And there are wounds in my soul. [Pre Chorus] While I was buying flowers, You had already flown out of the city. I stood sadly outside your home. Only the dark night met me there. [Chorus] Without you everything is empty. The city is dark and empty. Everyone has become a stranger. Fog has swallowed the mirages. Your plane has already flown away, And I got everything wrong. What I should have told you face to face May now be heard by the night alone. [Verse] I walk through this weary city. Nothing moves me anymore. Everyone feels like a stranger, And even sunlight brings no comfort. You aren't here anymore. I'll probably never see you again. This city is dark and empty. I see no light in it anymore. [Pre Chorus] While I was buying flowers, You had already flown out of the city. I stood sadly outside your home. Only the dark night met me there. [Chorus] Without you everything is empty. The city is dark and empty. Everyone has become a stranger. Fog has swallowed the mirages. Your plane has already flown away, And I got everything wrong. What I should have told you face to face May now be heard by the night alone. [Instrumental Break] [Outro] And only the night will kiss me And wrap me in its dark arms. Only the night will give me strength With its dark lips. You're gone, and so am I. Everything ended and died. I'm no longer a person. I'm a mirage. This city erased my soul.10

Flowers Aren't Meant to Die
Lyrics
[Verse] You can tell me That I don't know you at all. You may not understand Why I still hold you in my heart. But how can I show you That what I feel is real? You may not love me, But I still love you endlessly. [Chorus] You may not remember, But I still remember it all. You may forget everything. I forget nothing. You may let it go, But I keep it all in my heart. You can live without me, But I don't know how to live without you. You may not remember, But I still remember it all. You may forget everything. I forget nothing. You may let it go, But I keep it all in my heart. I can't let you go, Though it's the memory I hold, not you. [Verse] You can tell me That I'm drowning in my ideal of you, You may not understand Why I say your name at night. And though it may be hard to accept That I still cherish every memory in my soul, You don't have to love me. But I still love you endlessly. [Chorus] You may not remember, But I still remember it all. You may forget everything. I forget nothing. You may let it go, But I keep it all in my heart. You can live without me, But I don't know how to live without you. You may not remember, But I still remember it all. You may forget everything. I forget nothing. You may let it go, But I keep it all in my heart. I can't let you go, Though it's the memory I hold, not you. [Outro] You may not understand But what can I say? To me, love is flowers, And flowers aren't meant to die. I know more than just your face. I know what lies behind it. And you keep showing me That I didn't imagine it all. You needn't tell me I'm wasting my love. I can't give anyone else What I have only for you. I thank you, truly, For every warm word you said. I knew how wonderful you were, And you showed me once again. I was glad to hear from you. There's no reason to be sad. Yet I can't forget, And I can't help loving you. But now I can be glad, Though I'll always remember: My love for you is flowers, And flowers aren't meant to die.12
Somewhere Out There Your Heart Is Beating
Lyrics
[Verse] Life keeps rushing forward. We lose some things and find others. Each day brings something new, Sometimes awful, sometimes wonderful. And sometimes it seems Spring will never come. On days like that, one thought keeps me warm: Somewhere out there your heart is beating. [Chorus] Somewhere out there your heart is beating, May it always laugh, May it warm everyone around you, And never know sorrow or trouble. Somewhere out there your heart is beating, It rushes through ordinary days. May it rejoice and burn bright, May it know only warmth. [Verse] Year after year will rush past. We'll lose things and some will return. Sometimes we dive into happiness. Sometimes we drown in grief. A new day will begin tomorrow, Yet somehow sleep won't come. I wonder how life is treating you There where your heart is beating. [Chorus] Somewhere out there your heart is beating, May it always laugh, May it warm everyone around you, And never know sorrow or trouble. Somewhere out there your heart is beating, It rushes through ordinary days. May it rejoice and burn bright, May it know only warmth. [Outro] It's time I went to sleep, But it's so good to know The sun will smile on us again, And somewhere your heart is beating.13
Don't Stay Silent
Lyrics
[Verse] Don't stay silent, I'm so sad, As if winter had already come. Tell me what happened, And whether you're alone right now. Tell me honestly What's worrying you or hurting you. I need to know What's weighing on your soul. [Chorus] Don't stay silent, we don't know How much time we still have, Or whether the sun will rise tomorrow, Or whether we'll feel its warmth. Don't stay silent, we're losing time. The time we have is only borrowed. Tomorrow something will be gone, And we don't know what will be there. [Verse] Don't stay silent, I'm worried About how you'll manage on your own. I'm anxious and concerned, Though time is short for me too. Tell me if it's hard, If you have enough strength, And whether everything that's happened Has broken your wings. [Chorus] Don't stay silent, we don't know How much time we still have, Or whether the sun will rise tomorrow, Or whether we'll feel its warmth. Don't stay silent, we're losing time. The time we have is only borrowed. Tomorrow something will be gone, And we don't know what will be there. [Verse] Don't stay silent, time is passing. Years will fly by in a moment, And none of us knows What luck we'll have along the way. Perhaps everything will turn out well, And we'll live and grow. Perhaps tomorrow we'll be gone, So don't stay silent today. [Chorus] Don't stay silent, we don't know How much time we still have, Or whether the sun will rise tomorrow, Or whether we'll feel its warmth. Don't stay silent, we're losing time. The time we have is only borrowed. Tomorrow something will be gone, And we don't know what will be there. [Outro] Don't stay silent... Don't stay silent... Don't stay silent...14
Beyond the Clouds
Lyrics
[Verse] Somewhere out beyond the clouds, Somewhere out beyond the stars, Strange inhabitants live In bodies unlike ours. On their planet There is no sadness, No one lives in poverty, And no one knows misfortune. [Pre-Chorus] They have no sorrow at all, And no one knows hardship. All of life seems perfect. No one there ever dies. But they have no love, And no one ever feels The wonderful taste of passion, Because no one there falls in love. [Chorus] Is it worth flying far away To a place that knows no sorrow? Is it worth living that way And paying such a price? To have everything in the world, Yet never fall in love? Do we have something in this world We could live without over there? [Verse] Somewhere beyond the planets, An unfamiliar world exists. No one living there Can hear the heart sing. No one there cries, And there is no soul. They have enough of everything, Yet something is missing. [Pre-Chorus] They have no sorrow at all, And no one knows hardship. All of life seems perfect. No one there ever dies. But they have no love, And no one ever feels The wonderful taste of passion, Because no one there falls in love. [Chorus] Is it worth flying far away To a place that knows no sorrow? Is it worth living that way And paying such a price? To have everything in the world, Yet never fall in love? Do we have something in this world We could live without over there? [Outro] Somewhere out beyond the clouds, An unfamiliar world keeps turning. And in that world, What is waiting for us there?
