Guys, I translated one of karaoke songs I like to sing to English. There is no rhyme, it is mostly to show the people what the song is about while I'm singing it in Russian. Since that's my first attempt, I'd appreciate some comments ("your English sucks" is acceptable, but you need to explain).
This might also help some of you to give a grasp of Russian culture - this is quite a typical song, content-wise. We do not really have those "baby, please accept me back" crap. This song also is very well-known in Russia. You can also listen to the song here, the guy has his own translation too, but I feel like mine is better.
So here it is:
It is very quiet above me
The sky is cloudy and it is raining
and this rain is piercing me through
But I feel no pain anymore
Along to the whisper of cold stars
We burned our bridges
Suddenly everything's felt into abyss
And freedom I will gain
from good, and from evil
My soul balanced on the edge
like a blade runner
I could have been with you
I could have forgotten it all
I could have loved you
But it is all just a game
With the wind whispering
behind my back
I will forget you forever
And forget that immerse love
That burned us out to ashes
and I've been losing my mind
Now I kicked you out, and
there is no room for you in my soul
At last I am free
like an eagle in the skies
At last I am free
I forgot what word "fear" means
At last I am free
I am stronger than the wind
At last I am free
and it is not a dream anymore
It is quiet around here
The sky is raging with fire
The light passes
through me
And here I am free again!
Free from love and from hate
Free from enemies and gossips
Free from prophecies and fate,
Free from those chains which held me down
From evil, and from good
And my soul is finally free from any
feelings toward you
At last I am free
like an eagle in the skies
At last I am free
I forgot what word "fear" means
At last I am free
I am stronger than the wind
At last I am free
and it is not a dream anymore
