ЗдравствуйZdravstvuy

Hello

An ode to all of us building sand castles amidst mirages.

Russian2:26

I was very proud of this song, and of the duet — especially where they start singing in two voices in the chorus — and of the powerful instrumental post-chorus. A couple of times, once Suno had become much more advanced, I tried to continue it, to remix it, but nothing close to it in spirit ever came out. That’s probably how it should be.

Lyrics

The translation is a crib, not a singing version.

Здравствуй, сколько дней
Zdravstvuy, skolʼko dney
Сколько снов я тебя ждала
Skolʼko snov ya tebya zhdala
Здравствуй, в тишине вместо слов
Zdravstvuy, v tishine vmesto slov
Только зеркала
Tolʼko zerkala
Здравствуй, оглянись
Zdravstvuy, oglyanisʼ
Это свет, или лишь мираж?
Eto svet, ili lishʼ mirazh?
Здравствуй, там вдали
Zdravstvuy, tam vdali
Страха нет, там оазис наш
Strakha net, tam oazis nash
Рука в руке
Ruka v ruke
Мы строим наши замки на песке
My stroim nashi zamki na peske
Душа к душе
Dusha k dushe
Не бойся, я с тобой уже
Ne boysya, ya s toboy uzhe
Hello, how many days
How many dreams I spent waiting for you
Hello, in the silence, instead of words
Only mirrors
Hello, look around
Is it light, or only a mirage?
Hello, there in the distance
There is no fear, there is our oasis
Hand in hand
We build our castles on the sand
Soul to soul
Don’t be afraid, I’m with you now
