Текст песни Владимир Набоков - В хрустальный шар заключены мы были

In a crystal ball, we have concluded,
     and we were flying past the stars with you,
     rapidly, we glided silently
     from gloss to shine blissfully blue.

     And there was no past, no purpose;
     We joined the delight of eternity;
     the heavens, arms around each other, we flew,
     blinded by the smiles of the stars.

     But someone's sigh broke our crystal ball,
     I stopped our fiery rush
     and kiss broke our beginningless,
     and in captivity world left us, I parted.

     And on the ground, we have forgotten a lot:
     only occasionally vospomnitsya dream
     and our awe and thrill of stardust,
     and a wonderful buzz, trembling in the sky.

     Although we grieve and rejoice discord
     your face, among all the beautiful people
     I know of this stellar dust,
     remaining on the tips of the eyelashes ...

             1918, Crimea
