Toska

夜明けまで待つ列車

At an unnamed Russian dacha, snow, shared silence, and a toast to absent friends let longing flare into dance before settling beside a train that can wait until dawn.ロシアのどこかにあるダーチャで、雪と沈黙と不在の友への乾杯が、名づけられない切なさを踊りへ変え、遠い列車を夜明けまで待たせる。

Behind the Track楽曲の背景

Snow settles on the roof while the samovar steams and frost spreads across the window. Three friends sit at the table without speaking. None of them is alone, and nobody needs to fill the silence.

Tonight, тоска is the feeling of missing something she cannot quite name. A glass is raised for those who cannot be at this table. A voice cracks during the toast.

Then someone reaches for the instrument on the wall. Another person stands, and suddenly the floorboards shake beneath dancing feet. The longing does not disappear. It becomes something the room can carry together—first as fire, then laughter, then quiet again.

A train is still waiting somewhere in the distance, but it can wait until dawn. Not tonight.

屋根に雪が積もり、サモワールから湯気が立ち、窓には霜の模様が広がっていく。三人の友人が、言葉を交わさず食卓を囲んでいる。誰もひとりではなく、その沈黙を埋める必要もない。

今夜のтоска(トスカ)は、自分でも何を恋しく思っているのか、うまく名づけられない感情だ。この食卓にいない人たちへ、グラスが掲げられる。乾杯の途中で、誰かの声が震える。

すると誰かが、壁に掛けられた楽器へ手を伸ばす。もうひとりが立ち上がり、たちまち踊る足の下で床板が揺れ始める。切なさは消えない。炎になり、笑いになり、また静けさになるまで、部屋のみんなで分かち合えるものへ姿を変えていく。

遠くでは、まだ列車が待っている。それでも、夜明けまで待たせておけばいい。少なくとも、今夜ではない。

Lyrics歌詞

Снег падает на крышу
The samovar has been steaming all evening long
Зима держит нас всех тихо
Three of us at the table, none of us alone
Водка в маленькой рюмке
A bottle that's been opened since the sun went down
Душа знает, не язык
Some feelings only Russians have a name for
Crunch... crunch... crunch...

Печь горит, окно замёрзло
The window's frozen with a hundred ferns of frost
Друзья молчат, но рядом
And nobody fills silence that we trust

Тоска — toska
The word for missing something you can't name
Тоска — toska
A longing that doesn't need an aim
Снег, водка, друзья, печь
The snow, the vodka, the fire, the friends
И где-то вдалеке... поезд
And somewhere far away — a train

Балалайка на стене висит
Above the table, three strings that no one's played in years
Рюмка третья — за тех, кого нет
The third glass goes to those who can't be here
"На здоровье" — голос дрожит
Someone's voice cracks halfway through the toast
Ничего, ничего — eyes wet, smile big
Ничего — nothing, nothing, the most Russian word we know
Clink... clink... clink...

Печь горит, ночь молодая
The night is young, the fire is bright
Кто-то берёт балалайку
Someone reaches for the wall

Тоска — toska
The word for missing something you can't name
Тоска — toska
A longing that doesn't need an aim
Снег, водка, друзья, печь
The snow, the vodka, the fire, the friends
И где-то вдалеке... поезд
And somewhere far away — a train

ДАВАЙ! ДАВАЙ! ДАВАЙ!
DAVAI! DAVAI! DAVAI!
ИГРАЙ! ТАНЦУЙ! ЭХ!
IGRAI! TANTSUI! YEKH!

Squat low and kick out — left! right! left!
The floorboards shake, the glasses jump
Балалайка faster, faster, faster
Бом бом бом — heart in my chest

ДАВАЙ! ДАВАЙ! ДАВАЙ!
КРАСИВО! КРАСИВО! ЭХ!
(ДАВАЙ! ДАВАЙ! ДАВАЙ!)

Toska becomes joy
Joy becomes fire
Fire becomes us
Us becomes home

ОП! ОП! ОП! HEY! HEY! HEY!
ОП! ОП! ОП! HEY! HEY! HEY!
ОП! ОП! ОП! HEY! HEY! HEY!

Тоска — toska
The word for missing something you found
Тоска — toska
A longing that brought us all to this ground
Снег, водка, друзья, печь
The snow, the vodka, the fire, the friends
И поезд... может завтра
And the train — well, the train can wait till dawn

Спокойной ночи, родная...
Spokoynoy nochi, rodnaya...
Тоска...
