No Joy No Sorrow

Music by Konstantin Meladze
Original Russian lyrics by Konstantin Meladze
English lyrics by Vladimir Holyak

Just a painful thought crossed my troubled mind
Bitter taste of life with no love to find
Empty faces rush all around me
I seek your caress but there’s none for me

Tell me why you treat me so don’t you see I’m dying
In this dungeon of despair without you

No joy an’ no sorrow
There’s no way to follow
You have to discover
There’s no love to borrow

There’s no need to worry
There’s nowhere to hurry
Today or tomorrow
No joy an’ no sorrow

I was trying hard to accept my lot
Where’s your tenderness I dreamed such a lot
And it seemed like I’d never find my way
Your heart-breaking love leading me astray

With my back against the wall can’t you see I’m crying
In this prison full of grief without you
