A Havaiian legend about a red flower
The version in the English language Ohia - is the first tree, breaking through the solid lava, The red floret - lehua is blooming on its twigs; But, please, don't pluck this haematic flower - At the Havaii - it is a symbol for those, who in fidelity and love believe. Ohia was the strongest of all men and very handsome And Lehua was the most beautiful among the girls; But when Pele saw Ohia, goddess of fire wished to know the answer - If the strongest of all men fancies to merry her. The warrior denied her - he loved Lehua only, Pele got angry and turned him into tree, Gods felt pity for the girl and not to leave her lonely - They changed her into flower - for lovers forever together to be. Until red flowers are blooming in the silence - The weather always will be warm and mild; But when you pluck a flower - wait for weather violence - In such a way Lehua misses being apart with her beloved.

"Ми усе подолаємо разом..."
«Ми усе подолаємо разом, Ми усе з тобою минем, І я не боюся поразки, Я не боюсь, що помрем!» А я чула і вірила щиро, Немов би п'ять років було, Я була неймовірно щаслива І такою не стану вже знов. І знаєш, коли мені складно, Я твої згадаю слова — Вони затримають слабкість, Запевнять мене, що жива... «Ми разом усе подолаєм! Мила, ти чуєш мене?» Я чую і знову чекаю, Що небо тебе поверне... І ось майже два роки Шукаю тебе — не знайшла, І, до смерті роблячи кроки, Я твої згадаю слова... І до сліз сон мене вразить, Де знову почую тебе: «Ми усе подолаємо разом, Ми усе з тобою минем...»

I Saw a Dream
I saw a dream, and there were you, And there was coldness in your eyes. I wonder what a kind of true Made you become as cold as ice. And later I looked back to get a sense This empty glance was hellish call of past. It used to be a high and strong defense Against the world, the pain and me at last. You looked at me, and peering in your soul, I felt so lonely, as something vital died. And that is what I fear most of all - That nothing gentle will remain inside. Inside of you. Inside of me as well. And nothing will be said to farewell.
