Lyrics:

Надо мною тишина,    
Небо, полное дождя.
Дождь проходит сквозь меня,
Но боли больше нет.

Под холодный шепот звёзд
Мы сожгли последний мост,
И все в бездну сорвалось.
Свободным стану я
От зла и от добра.
Моя душа была на лезвии ножа.

Я бы мог с тобою быть,
Я бы мог про всё забыть,
Я бы мог тебя любить,
Но это лишь игра.

В шуме ветра за спиной
Я забуду голос твой,
И о той любви земной,
Что нас сжигала в прах,
И я сходил с ума.
В моей душе нет больше места для тебя.

Я свободен! Словно птица в небесах.
Я свободен! Я забыл, что значит страх.
Я свободен! С диким ветром наравне.
Я свободен! Наяву, а не во сне.

Надо мною тишина,
Небо, полное огня.
Свет проходит сквозь меня,
И я свободен вновь.

Я свободен от любви,
От вражды и от молвы,
От предсказанной судьбы
И от земных оков,
От зла и от добра.
В моей душе нет больше места для тебя.

Я свободен! Словно птица в небесах.
Я свободен! Я забыл, что значит страх.
Я свободен! С диким ветром наравне.
Я свободен! Наяву, а не во сне.

 

Translation:

The silence is above me
The sky full of rain
and this rain is piercing me out
but there's no pain anymore

At the time when stars were whispering 
We had burnt our last bridge.
Suddenly, everything falls down to a hellhole
And I will become free
Without evil and goodness
My soul was like that blade runner (*on the edge of a blade)

I could be with you
and forget about everything
I could be loving you
but it's just a game

With the noise of wind behind my back
I'll get over (*forget) your  voice
I'll get over that love
which burnt us out to ashes
and I was losing my mind…
Now there's no place for you in my soul 

Chorus:

I'm free – like that bird in the sky
I'm free – I forgot the fear inside
I'm free – like that wind-wildly
I'm free – not in my dream but in realty

The silence is above me
The sky full of fire
The light is piercing me out
And here I'm free again

I am free of love, of animosity and of rumors
Free of fate
of that bondage which held me down
of evil and goodness…
Now there's no place for you in my soul

Daria Molchanova’s Slow Russian offers a patient, accessible path to understanding spoken Russian. As an experienced teacher, Daria structures each episode around clear, deliberately paced conversation, removing the common hurdle of native speed that can overwhelm learners. The core of this podcast is its namesake pace: spoken Russian delivered slowly enough to follow, yet naturally enough to feel authentic. Each segment typically includes a vocabulary breakdown, where key words and phrases are explained in context, turning listening practice into a direct lesson. Beyond grammar and pronunciation, Daria weaves in observations on Russian culture, traditions, and the nuances of daily life, providing the contextual glue that makes language stick. It’s designed for those who want to move beyond textbooks and engage with the rhythm and substance of the language in a manageable way. The result is a learning tool that feels less like a lecture and more like a guided tour of the Russian language, building comprehension and confidence with each slow-spoken episode. You can find more resources and episodes on the podcast’s main website.
