Breathe in

Савва Шанаев
Перевод: Наутилус Помпилиус "Дыхание" (1996)

I barely wake up
Covered up in cold sweat
I barely wake up
Still nightmaring and scared
That the ocean
Flooded down our house
And the only people left alive are us

And that above us
Miles of water and waves
That above us
Whales are whacking their tails
That the air is
Becoming very scarce
I lay down in the dark

Listening to our own breathing
I’m listening to our own breathing
I could not have imagined both of us
To share together a single breathing
Breathe in

I am trying
To stop breathing at all
To give you some
Before we run out of
This precious substance
We could not value more
But you’re asleep and not knowing

That above us
Miles of water and waves
And that above us
Whales are whacking their tails
That the air is
Becoming very scarce
I lay down in the dark

Listening to our own breathing
I’m listening to our own breathing
I could not have imagined both of us
To share together a single breathing
Breathe in
