Vospominaniya o Byloj Lyubvi (translation)

My dark castle

Slumbers beyond the mountain

Sometimes the calm that reigns there tortures my soul

I'm the desirous hero of my fantasies

And all the images of my living love i keep with me

Chorus:

So often i see fear in eyes staring at me

They're destined to fall asleep inside my walls

To freeze inside my worlds

But my heart is lingering for love, my soul is aching

And wax statues look delightful

Such calm is reigning everywhere!

I used to bring them in my beautiful home

Offered them wine, and pleasure was to follow

Sometimes they'd feel a light fright

From the touch of strong hands on their gentle necks

Chorus

There one is bringing me flowers

There another stands, in her daydreams she floats

I've tried to make them die from laughter

But such as in an old tale, i've had to simply strangle them

Chorus
