Translation: The Peace of the Night

Song lyrics Originally written and performed by: Victor Tsoi from the group: Kino Translated by: Gene16180 Language of origin: Russian Spokoynaya Noch / The Peace of the Night Rooftops of homes shake, tremble with weight of the day, Herding clouds up above is the shepherd of skies The night is hit by bullets of light as a town fires away, But night’s strength is vast, her power defies Chorus To those who now lay their heads – have peace in your dreams, Take peace through the night To those who now lay their heads – have peace in your dreams, Take peace through the night I’ve waited so long for this time and now it is here, Those silent before, their silence now tore, Those tired of waiting mount saddles as horses appear, They’ll never be caught, no, caught nevermore, Chorus To those who now lay their heads – have peace in your dreams, Take peace through the night To those who now lay their heads – have peace in your dreams, Take peace through the night Neighbors now gather they’re hearing hoofs pounding the ground, Disturbing their sleep, in their dreams they’re afraid, Those tired of waiting set sail on a journey profound, Those who are saved, those who are saved… Chorus To those who now lay their heads – have peace in your dreams, Take peace through the night To those who now lay their heads – have peace in your dreams, Take peace through the night Here is a link to hear the original performance http://www.russiandvd.com/store/product.asp?sku=2449&genreid Track 10 You might have to copy and paste the link to access the site, it is free to listen, no memberships or downloads required, just click on the small play button to the right of the song.
