This is the song AIRPORTS (Аэропорты (Aeroporty) with my own English lyrics as subtitles. I created this version for Daneliya Tuleshova using one of her performances of it. The Russian version was composed by Leonid Agutin (Леонид Агутин) and Vladimir Presnyakov.
These are the lyrics that keep the meaning of the song and match the melodic flow. I am also writing completely new lyrics that don't match the original Russian ones as this version does.

AIRPORTS
[verse 1]
So many days
I followed you not knowing my true way
Oh, feeling my dream die
rushing away
And more than that
I couldn’t understand
More than that
I could not forget
That’s how life is
So many times
I tried to tell you the way that you are
Never letting me approach and come in
Words like water
And you will never melt
Deep in my heart
These shards of ice [Note: shards is another word for pieces]
[chorus]
Ah, you must know the pain
Ah, you must shed the tears
As if a captive caught within the thorns of the rose
Ah, all the airports
So many cities
I passed through without seeing
Feeling pieces of cold ice grow in my heart
Ice so deep within my heart
[verse 2
So many years
Like a helpless moth I’d fly
into the light
Then fall right back into
Emptiness
And more than that
I couldn’t understand
More than that
I could not forget
That’s how life is
[chorus]
Ah, you must know the pain
Ah, you must shed the tears
As if a captive caught within the thorns of the rose
Ah, all the airports
So many cities
I passed through without seeing
Feeling pieces of cold ice grow in my heart
Ice so deep within my heart
[coda]
Ice deep in my heart
