On a canvas of gray dust, the days have intertwined,
This world doesn't hold me, it has let me go.
It is cruel, its thorns have pierced my heart,
Full of malice, it has long forgotten kindness.

Here only shadows wander in the cold cities,
And smiles have become a rare, empty thing.
I'm tired of searching for warmth in strangers' eyes,
I'm tired of this icy life.

I don't want to live like this anymore.
But I will leave, slamming the door on the gray gloom.

I live in magical, fairytale worlds,
In a world of tenderness, where the light is always with me.
In a world of friendship, unfamiliar with the word "fear,"
Brave heroes from my animated pictures,
Where love and kindness bloom in spring.
In my fantasy, in the last of the depths,
I found my real earthly home.

In the worlds of my dreams,
Where there is no empty winter.

Here there is only the cold of the bleak streets, the bitter smoke,
There, sunrises are the color of scarlet wine.
There we fly across the sky like sparks,
Young boys on the wings of a dragon.

Their laughter flies over the emerald forests,
Where there is no pain, no despondency, no lies.
They call me with magical words,
To where hearts-stained glass beat with flame.

I hear them calling.
And I will leave, slamming the door on the gray gloom.

I live in magical, fairytale worlds,
In a world of tenderness, where the light is always with me.
In a world of friendship, unfamiliar with the word "fear,"
Brave heroes from my animated pictures,
Where love and kindness bloom in spring.
In my fantasy, in the last of the depths,
I found my real earthly home.

Among the worlds where I wander day after day,
There is one that is dearer and warmer than all.
There, a kitten-boy purrs quietly under my window,
Waiting for me, hurry.

Than in his eyes are two bottomless lakes,
He snuggles and gives me love.
So pure, that one is so needed,
To warm the frozen blood.

Yes, I will leave, slamming the door on the gray gloom!
I live in magical, fairytale worlds!
In a world of tenderness, where he is always with me,
In a world of friendship, unfamiliar with the word "fear."
Brave heroes from my animated pictures,
Where love and kindness bloom in spring.
In my fantasy, in the last of the depths,
I found my real earthly home.

Let reality beat on the locked door,
This world doesn't hold me, no, believe me.
I will stay where the stars shine brighter,
Where love and kindness will mark me.
A hero of fantasy, the last, but always,
There, where my lucky star is waiting.
Where the kitten-boy is waiting for me.
