NO FUSS THIS TIME

performed by Valery Meladze, music by Konstantin Meladze (his brother)

I'm playing, I'm risking.
Oh God, how she is dancing!
A sudden pang -
something's not quite clear, approaching fast,
something's about to start.

I'm crying
and she is laughing.

CHORUS
If you have come - ok, look
how I've learnt to live without you.
See, I'm flying -
like a stone off the soul*.
Look! once again it's you;
only this time
there should be no fuss, no haste.

Probably it's wrong to go on getting on her nerves.
I called her name - she flew to me.
What for, on earth, has she come back?
What's broken cannot be fixed,
it will break again thrice before sunset.

I'm crying
while she is laughing.


If you have come - ok, look
how I've learnt to live without you.
See, I'm flying -
like a stone off the soul.
Look! once again it's you;
only this time
there should be no fuss, no haste.

Look
how I've learnt to live without you.
See, I'm flying -
like a stone off the soul.
Look! it's you, once again;
only this time
there should be no fuss, no haste.


* as if a stone has fallen off my soul - a Russian saying meaning I feel relieved
