Name

**[Intro]** [Female vocals, recitative, without music] (It happens this way. Yes, it happens — people come together and part forever. Hundreds of kilometers separate them — Countries, continents, cities.) **[Music fades]** **[Verse 1]** Gradually we forget the faces, We start to mix up the names. For the longest time, at night, you’ll haunt my dreams — Your scent, Like dark water, Will swallow up my memories, Trading a thousand for a penny. And in my soul, a quiet confession will flicker: “It could’ve been different… Not like this…” **[Pre‑Chorus]** I’m forgetting in your name The melody of love, And that night’s tenderness That kept us warm, You and me, When darkness threatened with its inevitability. **[Chorus]** Your name was a song to me, Your name — like a universe of love, Your name burned without any flame, And it drew me after it, to the edge of the earth. **[Verse 2]** The melody still echoes inside me, But every day it grows fainter and quieter. And only the rain taps, taps on the roof, In the clear and crystal heights above. **[Pre‑Chorus]** And this night, and this rain, Unite us in their silence. And somewhere out there, beyond the horizon, you live — You eat, you sleep, you wait for someone… But not me, And not my confession… **[Chorus]** That your name is still A song to me! Your name — a universe of love, Your name burns without any flame, And it calls me after it, to the edge of the earth. **[Music fades]**
