Dirge for the Planet (Better English Localization) by Marquis Alastair

Dirge for the Planet (Better English Localization)

Marquis Alastair

For those who don't know. I was a huge fan of the STALKER game series for ages. This is an attempt to make a better translation from Ukrainian to English that still captures the spirit of the original lyrics and still is more-or-less 'singable' in a similar way to the original. I'm no expert in this sort of thing, but I hope I did an alright job.

Dirge for the Planet (Nuallán English
Localization Rewrite)
Original Song by Firelake

A miraculous crystal,
Given by the stars,
I can foresee the future
In this wondrous glass.
Lies carved within the caves,
sank deep within our souls,
Earth's doomsday is close.

Dancing on the ashes of the world,
I behold the stars,
A heavy gale blows unto my face,
Stirring up the dust.
Barren lands so desperate to blossom,
Dark stars strive to shine,
I still remember blue oceans
In this dying world.

The seas are empty,
the rivers are all dead,
All the planet's cities are now deserted lands.
Annihilation claims this day,
Life slowly whispers, "We remain."

Dirge for the planet,
Dirge for the Earth,
Dirge for the planet,
Dirge for the Earth.

Dancing on the ashes of the world,
I behold the stars,
A heavy gale blows unto my face,
Stirring up the dust.
Barren lands so desperate to blossom,
Dark stars strive to shine,
I still remember blue oceans
In this dying world.
