Far away
Far away, far away, oh1, far away,
It feels lonely, oh, it feels lonely.
Don't pity him, don't pity.
He's in no mood for [feeling] bad,
He's in no mood for laughing,
And he left, he didn't leave again.
His not quite peaceful sleep belongs to no one2.
He was falling to
The sun crying at the top of his lips.
A day of the month.
Today there's a key, a fireplace.
The firmament
Makes him a sweet bed,
Going to sit near his shoulder.
Nobody's night of the year,
Nobody's night of the year.
Far away, far away, oh, far away
The day of the night lies down at his shoulders.
Don't pity him, don't call him.
A day of the night, a week of the night,
And you don't want to if he doesn't want to.
Live his not quite peaceful sleep.
He was falling to
The sun... etc.
- 1. The word ли is actually an interrogative particle, but in folk songs it can also serve as a 'filler' with no particular meaning. As the song is folk-ish, I interpret it as such.
- 2. Сон не до покой - I interpret it as сон-недопокой, which comprises сон 'sleep', недо- 'a prefix of incompleteness', and покой 'peace'.
