Flowers are better than bullets

This is the war with you,

The fight of the words

You better have bullets,

Have flowers - worse

I do not wanna lose

I’ve already lost

A lot of my red liquid

I’m sorry you afraid of fluid (X2)

 

How long lasted forever?

The love’s much worse than just a war *

You blow the darkness by the glance

We saw the flower’s front did blaze

Letters where I’m lying so good

You’ll put in the blood on the floor

There are tears of my major foe

The war, the war, the war, the war

 

I have may-lilies, poppies, violets behind

Apple-tree blossom is the farewell sign

You have behind gunpowder and weapon

Nicotian sundown, we won’t talk even a little

 

You must forget, my boy, about win

Whatever you do flowers’re better than bullets still

 

How long lasted forever?

The love’s much worse than just a war

You blow the darkness by the glance

We saw the flower’s front did blaze

Letters where I’m lying so good

You’ll put in the blood on the floor

There’re tears of my major foe

The war, the war, the war, the war

The war, the war, the war, the war

The war, the war, the war, the war

 

How long lasted forever?

The love’s much worse than just a war

 

* - «the love is shorter than a war» будет прямым переводом строки «любовь короче, чем война». Но я решила оставить более пафосный вариант: «Любовь намного хуже, чем просто война». Кому как больше нравится.
