Lyrics
In Ivan the Lord
In Ivan the Lord
Jealousy
Jealousy is a flower that grows for loneliness
o night bloody as desert ships
neither an uninvited guest nor a wind to come across
to open the door to the world
allow light and petals of words
Girl, do not tie
Don't you dare, lass,
to tie red poenies on a gifted piece
But black lilies
And let the severe vigilance
Of a swarm of wounded horses
Decorate these.
Your beloved one
Cannot hear the cries
on the battlefield this young man flies
glorifying death in which he will not die
the way you will darn
the life in which you do not stay alive.
