I know we hear daily about “The Next Jackie Evancho.“ We all know there is no one like our Jackie, but this little girl is the closest I have seen to her natural gift, the music obviously flows through her, and the performance is magical! She is 8-year old Anastasia Petrik from the Ukraine. I have taken a few poetic liberties in translation of the lyrics, hopefully it makes more sense than some of the literal translations offered.
Why is the snow so cruel, leaving traces of you?
And why do we run in circles? Why are you running away from me?
The melting snow turning to water wouldn’t let me sleep till the morning.
There is one thing you must know. I will love you forever.
The melting snow turning to water wouldn’t let me sleep till the morning.
There is one thing you must know. I will love you forever.
Why are the voices of the stars so quite at dusk?
The wind brought the tears of the rain, but I don’t need any tears.
I no longer look in the future. I no longer count to a hundred.
I no longer love February. It took you away from me forever.
I no longer look in the future. I no longer count to a hundred.
I no longer love February. It took you away from me forever.
We separate because of a lie. We sleep when it is dark.
And when the body trembles with excitement, it’s ok to lose your mind.
If you want to go, just go. If you want to forget, forget.
Only know that at the end of the road she will return nevermore.
If you want to go, just go. If you want to forget, forget.
Only know that at the end of the road she will return nevermore.
If you want to go, just go. If you want to forget, forget.
Only know that at the end of the road it will return nevermore.
Only know that at the end of the road ... she will return nevermore.
