Fate, be silent, don’t you cry

1.
Outside the window — fog and storm,
The wind drives leaves along the ground.
I stand beneath a crossing, worn,
Like a shadow chained and bound.
Red lipstick, dress that shines and glitters,
But inside — just cold and void.
My life decays at broken corners,
Frozen filth I can’t avoid.

Chorus:
My candle stub is burning low,
In rough embraces, harsh and cold.
Fate, be silent, don’t you cry,
I won’t return to life I know.
With a smile I hide my pain,
With my sin I pay my soul.
Nothing from the past remains,
Just to end this nightly toll.

2.
Someone’s searching love and care,
Or just a moment to forget.
But poisoned blood holds nothing fair,
A festering wound I can’t reset.
I dreamed of home, a family’s light,
Of simple warmth, sincere and true.
But life broke hard, destroyed my sight,
Lost among the crowd I flew.

Chorus
My candle stub is burning low,
In rough embraces, harsh and cold.
Fate, be silent, don’t you cry,
I won’t return to life I know.
With a smile I hide my pain,
With my sin I pay my soul.
Nothing from the past remains,
Just to end this nightly toll.
3.
Evening falls, the city’s tired,
And the moon looks through my pane.
Little joy my life acquired,
All has passed like some old frame.
Makeup hides the tears and sorrow,
Smile — just ice, a hollow mask.
Birch trees sway as if no tomorrow,
No one waits… no one will ask.

Chorus:
Streetlights glow on Soho,
Shimmering in rainy streets.
I sell body, soul, and shadow,
To the eyes that twist and cheat.
For cheap coins that lie and glitter,
I betray my final dreams.
There is no more joy, no shimmer,
Only night… and you… and me.
