Lyrics

In our live everything happens,
Even under the sun ice doesn't melt,
And with warmth the winter greets -
Rain takes place in December.
Whether loving or not - don't know it,
We sometimes play in love.
And when losing it,
"Not a fate", - we say
Chorus:
Lavender, mountainous lavender -
Of our meeting with you, those are the blue flowers
Lavender, mountainous lavender...
How many years have passed, but we remember, you and I
Summer us the warmth was giving,
Larus over the water was floating,
Only for us the moon was shining,
To us alone on the Earth.
But where has it gone all this?
There was not, and is no answer.
And now as the two planets,
We are apart with you
Chorus:
