"Forgotten Boots" [1999]

Song: Knyazev (text, music), Gorsheniov (lead vocal)

A tired wanderer, I will sneak into your bedroom: without invitation, secretly, without saying a word. I will be sitting quietly on a couch beside you and wishing you unusual, sweet dreams. I will light a candle, but I won’t wake you up. Continuously, I will be staring at you, and this moment will give me strength, heal my wounds and warm my heart.

A long way is calling for me, but I cannot leave. I am back again – your image I cherish in my heart.

At midnight, I will go out on the moonlit road, having said goodbye forever to my beloved. Yearning, leave me alone – you are foolish and wretched: you are not a friend of my blessed memory of her. When you will wake up, you will find my boots: those that I accidentally left at your home. "What did he put on himself then?" – you will ask yourself quietly. – What did I put on me? Oh, I do not know that myself!

A long way is calling for me, but I cannot leave, I am back again – your image I cherish in my heart.

My bare feet will take me back again: what can I do – my feet got frozen! I do not like to be intrusive – I will take my boots and leave immediately. And, again, I am walking down the lunar road, and your house is left behind again. The boots are on my feet! But my legs are freezing!... I forgot my trousers! Oh, no, oh, my goodness!

A long way is calling for me, but I cannot leave, I am back again – your image I cherish in my heart.

Possible interpretation: You will never leave, if you have already taken your proper place.
