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.

Я тебе по-справжньому кохала...
Я тебе по-справжньому кохала... Так, неначе зовсім не жила. І тобі лиш серце відкривала, Я тебе кохала, як могла. Я тобі всю душу і все серце, Все віддам, ти тільки попроси. Я тебе кохатиму до смерті, Я з тобою навіки і завжди. Я тобі відкрию таємниці, Все, що маю — все віддам тобі. І поля, і чистії криниці, І прекрасний спів тих солов'їв. Я тебе по-справжньому кохала, Весь свій час, я віддала тобі. Я була наївною . Не знала, Що не брешуть тільки солов'ї.

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.
