LIINA's video: L on Dalville l Demon by M Y Lermontov

A masterpiece of European Romantic poetry by famous Russian poet Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov (Михаил Юрьевич Лермонтов), describing the Demon’s love for the mortal beauty. Lyrics of the song (in current video): [chorus] He ... whom no one loves; who can blight hopes with one glance, and bring them crashing; who lives for lashing his earthly slaves with furious beat, the king of freedom and cognition, heaven's foe, and nature's own perdition, and yet, you see him at your feet! [verse] ... from my guilty head the thorny crown I relegated, threw in the ashes all my days: my heaven, my hell are in your gaze. I love you with no earthly passion, such love that уou could never find: with rapture, in the towering fashion of an immortal heart and mind. My thoughts had long been stirred and racked bу just one name of passing sweetness: mу days in paradise had lacked just your perfection for completeness. 1 x [chorus] Translated by Charles Johnston.
