Lyrics & translation
Verse
Белая краска на ладонях.
White paint on my palms.
Соль жжет мою кожу.
The salt stings my skin.
Сегодня мои именины.
Today is my name day.
Лестницы ведут меня вверх.
The stairs lead me up.
Chorus
Я закончу твою работу, мама.
I will finish your work, Mother.
Фонарь снова светит ярко.
The lantern is bright again.
Я закончу твою работу, мама.
I will finish your work, Mother.
Башня теперь стоит гордо.
The tower stands tall now.
Verse
Кисти сохнут на ветру.
Brushes dry in the wind.
Ты держала стекла чистыми.
You kept the glass clean.
Океан следит за моими руками.
The ocean watches my hands.
Chorus
Я закончу твою работу, мама.
I will finish your work, Mother.
Фонарь снова светит ярко.
The lantern is bright again.
Я закончу твою работу, мама.
I will finish your work, Mother.
Башня теперь стоит гордо.
The tower stands tall now.
Bridge
Синее море встречается с небом.
Blue sea meets the sky.
Мой подарок — этот свет.
My gift is this light.
Луч разрезает темноту.
The beam cuts the dark.
Безопасная гавань для кораблей.
Safe harbor for the ships.
Chorus
Я закончу твою работу, мама.
I will finish your work, Mother.
Фонарь снова светит ярко.
The lantern is bright again.
Я закончу твою работу, мама.
I will finish your work, Mother.
Башня теперь стоит гордо.
The tower stands tall now.
