Zemlyane - Trava U Doma (w/ English translation)

Эксклюзивное видео на сайте deadmansongs.ru! This great old song is not only part of the Soviet/Russian music legacy loved by many but also it became an unofficial anthem of people working in Russian space industry astronauts as well of course.Below is my take on translating the song's lyrics into English. It's not a literal translation and has slight improvisation here and there either. I did so because I thought word-for-word could ruin the mood and the beauty of the song. So the following text is made to convey the meaning and the mood of the song though it still stays quite close to the original lyrics. It's not intended to rhyme but it does sometimes. And I'm not so good at English as you might notice so I believe there are some mistakes. Anyhow I'm sure it's understandable and gives to those who don't speak Russian an idea what this song is all about well enough!So here we go...The Earthmen - Grass By The HouseVerse 1:The Earth is in the porthole, the Earth is in the portholeThe Earth in the porthole is clearly seenLike a son misses his mother, like a son misses his motherWe yearn for the one and only EarthAnd the stars above our heads, the stars above our headsAre slightly closer but as always coldAnd like when the sun is missing, just like in hours of eclipseWe're waiting for the light, we dream about the EarthChorus:And what we're dreaming of is not the roar of a spaceportAnd not this icily cold and bluish viewWhat we're seeing is the grass that grows at homeOh this bright-green, this bright-green lively grassVerse 2:We're flying in the orbits, unbeaten murky tracksOf the vast that's riddled with meteoritesOur risk and valor not in vain, the cosmic music in our veinsWe feel it when we talk and when we workWhen evening glow or day break comes the soft mist clasps the globe in armsAnd slowly let goes when it fades awayThe son misses his mother, the son misses his motherAnd the mother waits her son so does the EarthChorus:. - с лучшим качеством и звучанием!
