Magician's song. The spell


My translation to the "Magician's song" from the movie "Ordinary miracle" (1978),
by producer M.Zaharov based on the Eugene Schwartz's play. Music - G.Gladkov,
lyrics - U. Kim, singer - L.Serebrennikov

It is absurd, ridiculous, foolish,
crazy, magical.
Neither the sense nor the good,
not in the way, completely out of place.

There comes a day, there comes the hour,
a time in hostage, locked in tower,
and the connection breaks.

Granite is boiling, burning ice,
and getting strength a lightweight fuzz,-
what kind of nuisance.

And Trin-Trava is blooming high,
enlightened owl sends insight,
and even fragile thin thread
unable to be cut by
the steel blade
the steel blade.

It is absurd, ridiculous, foolish,
crazy, magical.
Neither the sense nor the good,
not in the way, completely out of place.

There comes a term, along with it
a chills and fear, and a secret heat,
delight and power,

the pain and laughter, the shadow and the light -
in same campfire out of sight, -
what kind of nuisance.

From the mirage surreal line
from an extravagance of mine -
figure impression.
The color, sound it'll find,
and flesh and passion
and flesh and passion.

It is absurd, ridiculous, foolish,
crazy, magical.
Neither the sense nor the good,
not in the way, completely out of place.
