    Default Sofiya Rotaru - Tol'ko Etogo Malo

    Hallo, can someone to translate these lyrics. Short but confusing (4 me)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LisFjh-LOfs

    Только этого мало

    Вот и лето прошло
    Словно и не бывало.
    На пригреве тепло,
    Только этого мало.

    Все, что сбыться могло,
    Мне, как лист пятипалый,
    Прямо в руки легло,
    Только этого мало.

    Понапрасну ни зло,
    Ни добро не пропало.
    Все горело светло,
    Только этого мало.

    Жизнь брала под крыло,
    Берегла и спасала.
    Мне и вправду везло,
    Только этого мало.

    Листьев не обожгло,
    Веток не обломало.
    День промыт, как стекло,
    Только этого мало.
    O coração da gente chega lateja
    A gente só deseja passar bem
    Com você meu bem
    No xenhenhém
    No xenhenhém
    No xenhenhém

    Corrections welcome and probably needed

    Только этого мало
    It's just not enough/But it is not enough literally : Only not enough

    Вот и лето прошло
    The summer has passed
    Словно и не бывало. <<<< kak budto ne bylo [leto] (made the sentence a little easier)
    As if it was not here (the summer)
    На пригреве тепло,
    It is warm under the sun (??)
    Только этого мало.
    But it is not enough

    Все, что сбыться могло,
    Everything that could have happened
    Мне, как лист пятипалый,
    To me, as if a five-leaf* literally: five fingered
    Прямо в руки легло,
    Fell right into my hands/palms
    Только этого мало.
    But it is not enough

    Понапрасну ни зло,
    Neither evil
    Ни добро не пропало.
    nor good went to waste in vain
    Все горело светло,
    Everything burned and was was bright
    Только этого мало.

    Жизнь брала под крыло,
    Life took me under its wing
    Берегла и спасала.
    Protected and saved [me]
    Мне и вправду везло,
    I really got lucky
    Только этого мало.

    Листьев не обожгло,
    Did not burn the leaves
    Веток не обломало.
    Did not break the branches
    День промыт, как стекло,
    The day was washed, like the glass (of a window)
    Только этого мало.

    *five-leaf = a plant or flower with 5 "fingers" sort of like a maple leaf that has 3 "fingers" http://www.melanieweststudio.com/res...Maple-Leaf.jpg

    Thank you very much tim2286, there are some russian expressions with "и" as these Вот и and Словно и and much others that drive me mad. I'll post a similar song later where "и" makes me shiver. Anyway, has Вот и no meaning in the phrase?
    O coração da gente chega lateja

    нам ніколи, мабуть, не дійти до межі,
    за якою немає ні смутку, ні страху...

    Bizim gibi delilere her gün bayram

    "vot i" can have a lot of meanings, depending on context. in this context it is just stating the obvious. like saying "vot kak holodno" It's so cold (a simplified version) or [see] how cold it is.

    Now summer is gone
    Disappeared in a puff
    It was warm in the sun
    But it was not enough

    My desires and dreams
    Both important and fluff
    Came about with ease
    But it was not enough

    Nothing has gone to waste
    Neither good nor bad stuff
    All in flames interlaced
    But it was not enough

    Life took care of me
    When the going got tough
    Blessed me with lucky streaks
    But it was not enough

    Gentle was the sunlight
    And the wind was not rough
    Days were filled with delight
    But it was not enough
