You were born in '67
About 9 o'clock at night

Нам так светло. Вечер. Май.
По воде танцуем.

A couple years before I lost control
and ended up inside.

Кто нас узнал? Угадай.
Мы его рисуем.
Я для тебя стану здесь
Самой звонкой лирой
Пой, пусть слова улетят
На вершину мира.

/chorus/
The clouds in
Camarillo (на вершину мира)
Shimmer with a light that's
So unreal (на вершину мира)
Now I fear the stories
That they told me (на вершину мира)
Of how I hurt my baby
Must be somehow true

I stopped taking all my pills
they made me feel so dead inside.

Время бежит и никто
У него не спросит.

Just like the sun was going out
I didn't think I сould survive

Знает об этом лишь он.
Он тебя попросит
Спеть ему несколько слов
Старого мотива.
И те слова улетят
На вершину мира.

/chorus/
The clouds in
Camarillo (на вершину мира)
Shimmer with a light that's
So unreal (на вершину мира)
Now I fear the stories
That they told me (на вершину мира)
Of how I hurt my baby
Must be somehow true

Now I'm writing from a caravan
behind your nana's place

Солнце играет с огнем
Мы играем с ветром

I think my spirit will be happier
with the stars in outer space.

Нам так светло мы вдвоем,
Вместе станем пеплом.
И когда солнце зашло,
Как же ты просила
Взять за собою тебя
На вершину мира.

Chorus
The clouds in
Camarillo (на вершину мира)
Shimmer with a light that's
So unreal (на вершину мира)
Now I fear the stories
That they told me (на вершину мира)
Of how I hurt my baby
Must be somehow true

Brazzaville - Clouds in Camarillo (with Minerva)

You were born in '67
About 9 o'clock at night
(Ты родился в 67-м
Около 9 часов вечера)

Нам так светло. Вечер. Май.
По воде танцуем.

A couple years before I lost control
and ended up inside.
(Пару лет назад я потеряла контроль
и закончила на дне)

Кто нас узнал? Угадай.
Мы его рисуем.

Я для тебя стану здесь
Самой звонкой лирой
Пой, пусть слова улетят
На вершину мира.

The clouds in
Camarillo (на вершину мира)
Shimmer with a light that's
So unreal (на вершину мира)
Now I fear the stories
That they told me (на вершину мира)
Of how I hurt my baby
Must be somehow true
(Облака в Камарилло,
мерцают такими невероятными огнями,
мне страшно от историй,
которые они рассказали мне,
о том, что я причинила боль своему ребенку,
должно быть это правда)

I stopped taking all my pills
they made me feel so dead inside.
(Я прекратила пить таблетки,
они убивали меня изнутри)

Время бежит и никто
У него не спросит.

Just like the sun was going out
I didn't think I сould survive
(Как будто солнце садилось за горизонт,
я не думала, что смогу выжить)

Знает об этом лишь он.
Он тебя попросит
Спеть ему несколько слов
Старого мотива.
И те слова улетят
На вершину мира.

Now I'm writing from a caravan
behind your nana's place
(Теперь я пишу из фургона,
позади дома твоей бабушки)

Солнце играет с огнем
Мы играем с ветром

I think my spirit will be happier
with the stars in outer space.
(Я думаю, моя душа будет спокойна
со звездами в ином пространстве)

Нам так светло мы вдвоем,
Вместе станем пеплом.

И когда солнце зашло,
Как же ты просила
Взять за собою тебя
На вершину мира.

You were born in '67
About 9 o'clock at night

We are so light. Evening. May.
Dancing on the water.

A couple years before I lost control
and ended up inside.

Who knows? Guess.
We all draw.
I'm here for you
The most sonorous lyre
Sing, let words fly
On top of the world.

/chorus/
The clouds in
Camarillo (on top of the world)
Shimmer with a light that's
So unreal (on top of the world)
Now I fear the stories
That they told me (on top of the world)
Of how I hurt my baby
Must be somehow true

I stopped taking all my pills
they made me feel so dead inside.

Time is running and nobody
He didn't ask.

Just like the sun was going out
I didn't think I could survive

Knows about it only he.
He asked you
To sing him a few words
The old motive.
And those words will fly away
On top of the world.

/chorus/
The clouds in
Camarillo (on top of the world)
Shimmer with a light that's
So unreal (on top of the world)
Now I fear the stories
That they told me (on top of the world)
Of how I hurt my baby
Must be somehow true

Now I'm writing from a caravan
behind your Nana's place

The sun is playing with fire
We play with the wind

I think my spirit will be happier
with the stars in outer space.

So we light the two of us,
Together become ashes.
And when the sun went down,
As you requested
Take him with you
On top of the world.

Chorus
The clouds in
Camarillo (on top of the world)
Shimmer with a light that's
So unreal (on top of the world)
Now I fear the stories
That they told me (on top of the world)
Of how I hurt my baby
Must be somehow true

A TRANSLATION OF THE ENGLISH VERSION.

Brazzaville - Clouds in Camarillo (with Minerva)

You were born in '67
About 9 o'clock at night
(You were born in 67-m
Around 9 PM)

We are so light. Evening. May.
Dancing on the water.

A couple years before I lost control
and ended up inside.
(A couple of years ago I lost control
and finished on the bottom)

Who knows? Guess.
We all draw.

I'm here for you
The most sonorous lyre
Sing, let words fly
On top of the world.

The clouds in
Camarillo (on top of the world)
Shimmer with a light that's
So unreal (on top of the world)
Now I fear the stories
That they told me (on top of the world)
Of how I hurt my baby
Must be somehow true
(The clouds in Camarillo,
such amazing twinkle lights,
I'm scared from the stories
they told me
that I hurt your child,
it must be true)

I stopped taking all my pills
they made me feel so dead inside.
(I stopped to drink tablets
they killed me on the inside)

Time is running and nobody
He didn't ask.

Just like the sun was going out
I didn't think I could survive
(As if the sun was setting over the horizon,
I didn't think I could survive)

Knows about it only he.
He asked you
To sing him a few words
The old motive.
And those words will fly away
On top of the world.

Now I'm writing from a caravan
behind your Nana's place
(Now I'm writing from the van,
behind the house your grandmother)

The sun is playing with fire
We play with the wind

I think my spirit will be happier
with the stars in outer space.
(I think my soul will be calm
with the stars in a different space)

So we light the two of us,
Together become ashes.

And when the sun went down,
As you requested
Take him with you
On top of the world.
