By your side

З тобою
(Literal translation: 'With you')

Going through my window, moon

Offered me a cup of tenderness...

By your side, by your side!

High wind is getting even stronger;

Rock-n-roll is always alive...

By your side, by your side!

Chorus:

By your side, by your side

Even winter turns into spring…

And how my soul resonates?

You could say that something trembles deep in it...

When I'm by your side!

Exotic isles

Are always in my mind...

By your side, by your side!

Living each night as though it was the last

And feeling in every word a clamor...

By your side, by your side!

Chorus

And it doesn't matter

To know what the world looked like before us...

And it's of no interest

To know what it'll be after us...

And it doesn't matter

To know what the world looked like before us...

And it's of no interest

To know what it'll be after us...

When I'm by your side!

Chorus

And how my soul resonates?

You could say that something trembles deep in it...

When I'm by your side!

And how my soul resonates?

You could say that God made something trembles deep in it...

When I'm by your side!

As I explained in an older post, this song is special to me because it reflects me and the way I am... These lyrics are, as usual, amazing... I'm fascinated by Vakarchuk's talent to describe in a few words our emotions! Don't ask me why I am fond of his works... :)
