Vocalise: Katusha's Song


My soul seems cold, bleak without part of
someone I saw everyday,
and that is you, without you, my love.

I don't know what to do without you
by my side.
It hurts so much saying goodbye.
Kiss by kiss we touch,
lingering
To be with you, day by day.
This light of love blinds me,
and this fading love's light
takes with it my sight.
So night falls upon my tear-stained eyes.
Paths turn:
rosebuds filled all my thoughts of you.
Beautiful, strong, and calm.
Paths cross, paths turn,
and one day our turn will come again,
one day soon.

No longer do I feel
your strong, gentle arms on my waist.
I cannot embrace or feel your tender touch.
I can't fill this empty rink.
You no longer lift me into the skies,
my own Seriozha.

Without you, all else is cold and bleak.
Without you, love grows empty,too.
Without you, without you, without you
no sun shines for me.
Without you, art and poetry are dead.
Nothing ever remains the same
instead remains a space
in heart filled with remorse and doubt.

Without you, nightmares come and stay.
The colors of life fade away
into gray that I can't quite see through
without you.
Tears are my food and drink.
Without you, life is but a shadow
and beyond the grave,
there you are
Without me.
