Lyrics and English translation Arkona - Odna

Odna

Dym okrutit vlasom
Dlan′ jarogo ognja
Bol' vozdymitsja glasom:
Nebo, voz′mi menja!
Ja otdam slepuju dushu
Sgorju do tla
V vechnyh cepjah udush'ja
Cnova vernus' sjuda

Oj, da ne spitsja
Mne, da temnoj nochkoj
Da, ne razveet veter bol′ o rodnom
Pticej podnjat′sja vvys', oj - de tam ostat′sja
Da ne dostat' do neba odnim krylom

Ta bol′ szhiraet dushu
Moj mir razrushen
No ja zhe zdes'
Pod vzorom alchnyh lic
Chuzhih kornej
Ja ljagu nic na Zemlju-Mat′
I mne ne vstat' s nee

Ne vstat'!
Teper′ ne vstat′!

Odna sred' bleklyh likov
V miru chuzhih tenej
Snova brozhu po svetu
Da skryvajas′ ot ljudej
Tajnu svoju otkroju
Predkov zavet hranja
Mozhet chrez stolet'ja
Rod moj najdet menja

Kak ja za kolo-vremechkom ubegaju
Ubegaju, da Jav′ za soboj zovu
No molvit glasom Jav'-de:
Ja umiraju s chuzhdoj dushoj
Da vo rodnom vo kraju

Umiraju, ubegaju...

Moj rod usnul v zabvenii
Ja stala zven′em
Mirskoj cepi
Chto skovana iz chuzhdyh mne idej
Lzhivyh rechej
Hochu bezhat' otsjuda von
Podal'she ot ljudej

Bezhat′!

Odna sred′ bleklyh likov
V miru chuzhih tenej
Snova brozhu po svetu
Skryvajas' ot ljudej
Tajnu svoju otkroju
Chto predkami dana
Mozhet chrez stolet′ja
Budu ja ne odna!
Stojat' u pepla
Mertvogo ognja
Rodny bogi, gde vy?
Nebo! uslysh′ menja!
Ja otdam slepuju dushu
Sgorju do tla
V vechnyh cepjah udush'ja
Snova vernus′ sjuda

Odna

Smoke curls around your hair
The palm of fiery passion
Pain will raise its voice:
Heaven, take me away!
I'll give you my blind soul
I'll burn to the ground
In eternal chains of suffocation
Torment will return here

Oh, may it not end
For me, on this dark night
May the wind not dispel the pain of my homeland
To rise up as a bird, oh - to stay there
But I cannot reach heaven with only one wing

This pain tears at my soul
My world is destroyed
But here I am
Under the gaze of greedy faces
Of foreign roots
I'll lie down on the Mother Earth
And I will not rise from her

Not rise!
Not rise again!

Alone among pale faces
In a world of alien shadows
Again, I wander the world
Hiding from people
I will reveal my secret
I keep the covenant of my ancestors
Perhaps through the centuries
My kin will find me

As I run away on the wheel of time
I run away, and I call the Reveal behind me
But the Reveal whispers to me:
I am dying with someone else's soul
In a foreign land

I am dying, I am running away...

My kin have fallen into oblivion
I have become a sound
A worldly chain
That is forged from ideas foreign to me
False words
I want to run away from here
Far away from people

Run away!

Alone among pale faces
In a world of alien shadows
Again, I wander the world
Hiding from people
I will reveal my secret
That was given to me by my ancestors
Perhaps through the centuries
I will not be alone!
I will stand at the ashes
Of a dead fire
My native gods, where are you?
Heaven! Hear me!
I'll give you my blind soul
I'll burn to the ground
In eternal chains of suffocation
I'll return here again
