Victor Tsoy — Red-Yellow Days

It’s the last song that Kino finished recording in studio before Victor Tsoy’s death in a car accident. It is on the last Kino’s album titled “The Black Album” (1990).

Red-Yellow Days
Victor Tsoy

My train stayed in the depot for too long.
I leave again. It’s time…
On the doorstep wind waited so much for me.
On the doorstep autumn is my sister.

After the red-yellow days
The winter will begin and will end.
O my woe from my wit,
Don’t be sorrowful, look up with a smile,
And I’ll return home
With a shield or maybe on a shield,
In silver or maybe in poverty,
But as soon as possible.

Tell me about those who are tired
Of merciless street dramas
And about the church built of broken hearts
And about those who walk into this church.

After the red-yellow days
The winter will begin and will end.
O my woe from my wit,
Don’t be sorrowful, look up with a smile,
And I’ll return home
With a shield or maybe on a shield,
In silver or maybe in poverty,
But as soon as possible.

And I dreamt: the world is ruled by love,
And I dreamt: the world is ruled by dream.
And above it all splendidly shines a star,
And I woke up and got it: oh my…

After the red-yellow days
The winter will begin and will end.
O my woe from my wit,
Don’t be sorrowful, look up with a smile,
And I’ll return home
With a shield or maybe on a shield,
In silver or maybe in poverty,
But as soon as possible.

Victor Tsoy — Peaceful Night

This is amazing song by a Russian visionary musician Victor Tsoy called “Peaceful night.”



Victor Tsoy (leader of the rock band Kino)
Peaceful Night

The roofs of houses tremble under the heaviness of days,
A skyline shepherd shepherds the clouds,
The city shoots in the night with the pellets of flames,
But night is stronger, her power is huge.

Those who go to sleep—
Have a peaceful sleep.
Have a peaceful night.

I have waited for this time; and this time has come,
Those who were silent stopped being quiet.
Those who have nothing to wait for get on the saddle,
It’s impossible to catch up with them anymore, already not possible.

Those who go to sleep—
Have a peaceful sleep.
Have a peaceful night.

Neighbors come in, they hear the patter of hoofs,
It doesn’t let them to get asleep, it disturbs their sleep.
Those who have nothing to wait for embark on a journey
Those who are saved, those who are saved.

Those who go to sleep—
Have a peaceful sleep.
Have a peaceful night.
