Wonderfully interesting post. Thanks. I didn’t find any language barrier at all. rock ‘n roll is a universal language. i can’t understand the lyrics half the time in english language songs.

Josh, fair enough. Eto(a) Vsyo translates roughly to that's it/all/everything. Let's be realistic, nobody does depressed better than Russians. Just for you, because you're my brother i went and found a translation of the lyrics...which could be cleaned up slightly but i'm not doing it. (And this song has no psychological associations for me except that it's so quintessentially Russian.) <i>Translucent water grows over the fainting leaves on the window There's no bottom or death to the water; I say goodbye to you A handful of warmth after the long winter - let us carry it Five minutes left till the morning - let us survive The black hole of Time shall swallow our sea of guilt This is all that remains after me This is all that I shall take along We rose from the dead and finished a glass of two dreams and sorrow I do not know why I was given to you - road of the moon reigns over me Do not cry; forgive, if you can. Life is not sugar, and death is not tea. I have my own road to carry. So long, friend, and farewell… This is all that remains after me This is all that I shall take along Memory sits by our table with a candle flame in hand You were so good; look at me, do not be silent A gull's cry on the while wall encircled with black moon Draw something on the window and whisper an adieu like a river This is all that remains after me This is all that I shall take along</i> Yeah, Slammy, i knew the whole language barrier might make it hard for people…but i wasn’t going to do/find translations for them all.

Translucent water grows over the fainting leaves on the window
There’s no bottom or death to the water; I say goodbye to you
A handful of warmth after the long winter – let us carry it
Five minutes left till the morning – let us survive
The black hole of Time shall swallow our sea of guilt

This is all that remains after me
This is all that I shall take along

We rose from the dead and finished a glass of two dreams and sorrow
I do not know why I was given to you – road of the moon reigns over me
Do not cry; forgive, if you can. Life is not sugar, and death is not tea.
I have my own road to carry. So long, friend, and farewell…

This is all that remains after me
This is all that I shall take along

Memory sits by our table with a candle flame in hand
You were so good; look at me, do not be silent
A gull’s cry on the while wall encircled with black moon
Draw something on the window and whisper an adieu like a river

This is all that remains after me
This is all that I shall take along
