Flame of Love

Get Directions

Dear Friends! 

 

We are so excited to meet with you again and share the original soulful songs and other exciting projects and collaborations, musical experiments. 

 

I now have 3 local SD authors I collaborate with, all of whom I am hoping will be in attendance, added few new original songs in English in my repertoire plus beautifully translated some of the older songs that were originally written in Russian. While music is universal language, the lyrics is super important to me, therefore I always want to convey meaning in both languages whenever I share my music.

 

Most of the first part will consist of original pieces with guitar accompanied by amazing Andrey Chuguev on a guitar and Timur Sabirov on a keyboard. The program will also include theater elements and most likely will incorporate dance, audio visual and few other surprise elements that will add a special touch to this program. 

 

In the second part I will cover few of my favorite songs. Also, there is grand piano in the space where the event will be held and our special guest: amazing maestro Lev Ratner will be putting it to a good use in the second part of the program and at the end I will join him without the guitar for a surprise set we are preparing for this evening, in a style not typical for me. 

 

Stay tuned for more information as we are finalizing the program and  we cannot wait to meet you in this beautiful space.

With gratitude and love, 

All of us involved in this endeavor!

3. Grape seed

 

In the warm soil I will bury a grape seed and wait for a harvest

And will kiss tender vine and will pick the sweet grapes, like a gold

Then I'll call all my friends and to love tune my heart, as we gather

Otherwise, what's the purpose of living in this lasting world?

 

Gather on, dear guests, come to eat, please accept invitation,

Tell me straight to my face the opinion of me that you hold,

King of Heaven will send me forgiveness for all my transgressions.

Otherwise, what's the purpose of living in this lasting world?

 

Dressed in dark red, my beautiful Dali for me will be singing,

Dressed in black and white, I'll bow my head without saying a word,

And will listen enchanted and die from deep love and sad feeling,

Otherwise, what's the purpose of living on this lasting earth?

 

When the sunset starts swirling and swinging it's light in the corners

As if real, again and again, may the images float of a blue ox, white eagle, and golden forelle right before me,

Otherwise, what's the purpose of living on this lasting earth?

 

4 I can't help but love.

 

Something happened…

I can't help but love.

How many centuries have passed

But this ( silver) thread stretches on.

 

He told me then:

„Girl, you are free to choose

-I can teach you

How to create Paradise.

 

 

You matured now,

I'll give you five (helpers)

But don't forget the scissors-

To cut the thread when you're tired, I will wait for you.

I won't judge, you know.

Also, take care of your eyes.”

 

My God, I'm so tired,

my eyes are dim from tears.

But five ( guardian angels) breathe steadily and do not leave me..

 

And the silver thred sparkles

And I keep going,

I've died a thousand times.

After all, it’s the easiest way out-

To turn off the path,

To cut off, return, forget.

The happiest (people) in life seem foolish

I know it might not make sense.

But something went wrong…

 

Something happened,

I can't help but love.

I can't help but love

 

5. Flame of love

 

The ground is burning under my feet

The bloody sword tearing the sky apart

I want to close my eyes and pray to God

Please do not break us ...

 

Help us save the Earth

Our souls, and our children.

I haven’t asked for myself for a while,

I am asking on behalf of the innocent.

 

There is it’s own truth in madness

Don't try to understand it

Our Earth is being cleansed

And the time has frozen

 

The ground is burning under my feet

But in my heart is a flame of love

This flame will burn down evil and hate-

We will win.

 

Everything will return, don’t you know...

As long as the sun is in the sky,

As long as the moon shines at night -

I will keep hope.

 

As long as the flame of love burns in my heart….

Keep the flame of love in your heart…

 

 

6. I will light a thousand candles.

 

I won't ask why

I won't ask when

I thought we were a tandem.

I thought we were forever

 

And the night was darker than ink

But it seemed to me that the night was bright.

And I thought you loved me

burning down from within

 

And if the clouds eclipsed the full moon tonight

Would you let me drown in your arms? 

You won't chase me away, will you?

 

But you were afraid of the dark 

Although my soul was bright.

You were afraid of your dream

I'm tired of being with you.

 

I will not ask the question: "Why?"

I will not ask the question: "How?"

I will light a thousand candles.

Let there be light! Let the darkness perish!

 

And tonight the сlouds eclipsed the full moon

And I am drowning in your arms

Nobody can help me.

 

And the night was darker than ink

But it seemed to me that the night was bright.

And I thought you loved me burning down from within

 

I will not ask the question: "Why?"

I will not ask the question: "How?"

I will light a thousand candles.

Let there be light! Let the darkness perish

 

7. Candle

 

In a cleansing candle flame,

Burn, burn, my soul, before me,

Do not console me, my friend, in my night

I will calm my heart myself.

I was given this path to walk on my own

And I am wandering there through laughter and tears,

Don't comfort me, my friend, oh my dear 

For its been a long time since our roses have withered...

The fire of passions burned us like

My soul is burning in the fire of a candle

But there is no life without losses,

It doesn't happen, I whisper again, it doesn't happen.

 

Those times we were together have passed and the frost hit

But God give me the strength not to believe in the kingdom of darkness

And dry my tears in the light of the sun. 

I don't regret anything, my dear friend 

And I was to do it al over again,

I would again surrender to your hands and lips,

I would have fallen again under the thin Ice

Keep burning, my candle, in this flame 

I am only becoming myself ..

And even if they don't open the doors to heaven, 

I was already there, my dear friend, when I was with you.

 

 

 

 

8. Moon lady 

 

Look up at the sky, my darling!

And don't let the darkness scare you

There are billions of stars up there

Dancing with the moon, the queen of dreams

 

As always, the moon rules the sky, but now not alone ...

And if you can't sleep at night

Go quietly and stand by the window

 

Today you will be a magic fairy

of the boundless world of stars

Daytime and night time world is changing

Now for real, it’s no longer a game

 

Don't miss this hour, dear...

You will be able to open the doors only with just a glance

Let the melody of paradise flow

We are waiting for it and we do not sleep

 

Only you will open today

New world with the magic key

You tell the night sky

About the sinful world where we live

 

Only you will show again

The world of light to people,

The magic of the moon is familiar to us

Today, as in the old days.

 

Don't miss this hour, this moment

Selena is calling into her lunar well,

And bathing you in her light

She will name you her princess.

 

9. Golden City

 

10. A Straw of Love

 

I am for you - a sunrise washed with morning haze,

I am for you - a sunset fallen by a lie

And only tenderness and dream’s obscure light

Illuminate the path into divine ,

From there you gaze at me with gentle smile,

I’m so unsure of moment’s irony and truth

But I am trusting of a sun’s ascending fire,

And hope it will my tears slowly soothe

(in which i’ll burn with my desire) ...

 

And string of love

Will reach my hand so gently

By a meeting to soften the parting,

Your smile will lift my sorrow.

Don't tell anyone

That happiness was with us.

But hold on, with stubborn hands,

To a straw of love.

 

If the light of my soul didn't smother me so

In the embraces of other icy worlds,

With what tenderness love's words had blossomed,

With what joy in any haze.

The day wasn't born to die,

But dying, it doesn't leave forever,

By fate, I'm a shadow cast upon you.

I don't know by whom...

 

And only a straw of love

Will reach your hands so softly

By a meeting to soften the parting,

And smile will my sorrow gently.

Don't tell anyone

That happiness was with us.

But hold on, with stubborn hands,

To a straw of love.

 

11. I had a dream as if it was for real

 

On the night of Christmas, on the night of Hope.. 

A humble woman came to me In a long white and blue dress. 

The woman told me: Live! Live and be happy, because you are a mother! 

And you are able to give a lesson in love 

And that means you are under protection of the most high! 

The woman told me Live! 

Live and remember - this is the looking glass, 

And there is another Magic world of love, 

It reflects the real world. 

And this world depends only on our dreams, what we think, eat and drink, how often we pray and speak words of love sincerely 

How often we give kindness to people

I had a dream as if it was for real

That night I strengthened my faith realized that through prayer we make this world kinder

I had a dream as if it was for real

On the night of Christmas, on the night of Hope. 

A humble woman came to me In a long white and blue dress.

 

12. May Hopes Align

13. Farewell

 

14. Ball of thread

 

I gave you the end of the ball of thread

Will you unwind it to the end?

I sent you the smile

And you have become blind.

 

No, I won't hide. That's right.

In this fairy tale I am a witch

But you, my friend, were not faithful

To your love till the end.

 

If I loved her right

If you lived and breathed by her

Then, by your command,

Koschei would not have stolen her.

 

No, I won't hide it,

In this fairy tale I am a witch

But you, my friend,

have betrayed your love

 

If you had patience

If you have waited for her

Then by my command

The ball of thread would have showed you the way.

 

No, I won't hide. That's right. In this fairy tale I am a witch

But you, my friend, have not loved to the end

 

15. Smoke

 

My birds fly north,

They don’t want to fly South

Now, all is in reverse -

Moon warms sun, and so it goes

All of this means something

And a stranger warms your back,

And I am told:

"Hang tight and Sing!"

 Only on the snow you can see the darkest spots,

you won't hear that truth on the run

Only in the quiet there're the silver bells.

Don't let go of my hand.

Don't let go the hand.

The is only one truth

There are no halves in the truth

White smoke in the sky,

And we're unloved.

It would be better if we were drowning, but we are Burning

I see three roads,

Each one on water.

It’s not your feet that lead to truth,

But prayer in the head.

I gather strength

From the same płace where I will eventually will go

I arrived unloved

And I will return deeply loved.

The is only one truth

There are no halves in the truth

White smoke in the sky,

And we're unloved.

It would be better if we were Burning

And we are Burning

My birds fly north,

They don’t want to fly South

Now, all is in reverse -

Moon warms sun, and so it goes

All Of this means something

And a stranger warms your back,

And I am told:

"Hang tight and Sing!”

18. City of People in Love

 

On a distant planet there is a City of people in love.

The stars shine for them in a special way,

The sky is bluer for them

White walls over the sea

White peace and comfort.

There People don't fight

There People don't argue

There People sing to each other

 

Let's sit down in silence

Everything will pass

And the anger will melt, and the sadness will go away

Let's sit, let's be quiet

No words needed.

We are to blame, the love is right.

 

If you ever see that city

You will forgive offenses immediately You won't offend me with a vain word, or a quarrel.

This White city will light path for us forever .

Even though they say

This city does not exist

 

Let's sit down in silence

Everything will pass

And the anger will melt, and the sadness will go away

Let's sit, let's be quiet

No words needed.

We are to blame, the love is right.

20. Hallelujah

 

21. To all my friends

 

It’s Night outside

The dreams are calling and seducing

They will take us soon to a fairy tale 

And the music that we enjoyed

Will give us a hint of love in a dream

To all my friends i wish the sweetest dreams

Marshmallow-chocolate, caramel-mint.. 

But still do not eat a lot of pies at night so you can sleep more peacefully on soft featherbeds.

And save the candy wrappers like in childhood, 

They are like Tarot cards will tell you a lot. 

And in the morning forget everything, forget and run 

From candy wrappers, from sweets and from emotional wounds.

 

To all my friends i wish the sweetest dreams

Marshmallow-chocolate, caramel & mint .. 

But still do not eat a lot of pies at night and sleep peacefully, sleep peacefully on soft featherbeds.

Sleep well, sweet dreams
