In the Crystal of Golden Smoke [Verse 1] In the crystal of golden smoke, Through the prisms of colored illusions, We walk, yet somehow we miss the road, In tango rhythm, in misty blues. Time beats hard beneath our skin, Time has marked us as its aim, But it cannot throw us out of tune — We were detuned before we came. [Verse 2] Out of tune like an old guitar, Like a piano lost to time, We wander across this earthly star, Tripping on the rakes of everyday life. Yet the lacework of vivid patterns Does not blind us to the light, The eternal flame that held us steady, Answering every question inside. [Verse 3] That ясный светоч carries hope, Without it we'd be lost in sand, It calls us, leads us, holds us close, Without it even worlds would freeze and stand. It is love — the ground we stand upon. [Chorus] So let us fearlessly hold on tight, Clasp each other with all our might, In the crystal of golden smoke.
