Кооператив Звезда - Коричневый дождь / trans.

[ayalas]

Here I stand
On the dampening ground,
Empty mind,
Only dull ringing sounds,
Only grime,
And the dark endless lane,
Only smoke,
And the brown sullen rain

All is smoke,
Who is right, who is wrong
Brain is dry,
Fog is coating the sky,
Till the end
Always life, always fear
And deceit, the cruellest deceit

The brown sullen rain
Of money, of shit and of love
Crush it all and live on,
This is rain
Of tears, burning stenches and lies,
This rain isn't like anything else -
This is life

With each day,
All the signals grow fainter
on board
Of the ship lost at sea,
With each day,
Darkness claims bits of sky,
Any strength
That could fix sails is gone,
I am now
In no rush, I am here
I don't shout,
I am just barely breathing,
I'm here
There's no leaving my chains,
There's no flight in clouds and in rain

The brown sullen rain
Of money, of shit and of love
Crush it all and live on,
This is rain
Of tears, burning stenches and lies,
This rain isn't like anything else -
This is life

And they say
That our souls never rot;
That is true,
Given that there is pot,
And they say
That it's good to be here;
That is true,
Given powder is near,
And they say
That a human reigns fair;
That is true,
Given heroin's there;
And they say
Life has fragrance and sound;
That is true,
Given money's around,
And they say
Love can do anything;
That is true,
Given influence-rings,
And they say
Glad is easy to be;
That is true,
Given there's LSD,
And they say
That no boundaries run;
That is true,
Given you have a gun,
And they say
That the sunshine is yours;
That is true,
Given you can afford,
And they say...
So, what else do they say?

Come listen. Hear them?
Drops make their way
Down the earth,
On our fate, on the wall,
This is rain, it's inside of us all

The brown sullen rain
Of gold and of blood and of hate
All the curses don't wait,
This is rain
Of corpses and people and cars,
This rain enters the flesh like a knife -
This is life
