The original song and lyrics, if you're curious https://youtu.be/z03wZdJzjBs?list=RDz03wZdJzjBs

Edit - I made it as a small personal project; I've prolly not taken the nuances of translating it from Russian so... welp

Verse 1

White snow, cold ice

Onto an Earth quite dry

Like a plaid stitched into place

The city roads loop and tie.

Clouds pass in the sky above,

Hiding the heavenly lights,

Yellow mist takes its place

Two millennia of such nights

That records another

upcoming - winter solstice.

Verse 2

For two millenia, it knew only war

The reason? Forgotten so far

Tis a venture for those very young

They shall not grow further on

Red blood is the toll on the ground

Past an hour, it makes a shroud

After two, flowers and grass

After three, peace now alas

Warmed by the rays

Of an incoming - summer solstice

Verse 3 (prolly the weakest)

To be continued...
