Night Snipers "Actress"

I decided to star listing Best Russian Music with a very lyrical song. This song is by band named Night Snipers, which is pretty popular in Russia but doesn't belong to the "elite" of Russian music, so they don't get a lot of international exposure. Their songs also had been seen as hinting as lesbian themes, which also was a problem, but It's not clear if there is any truth to those claims, as the singer and writer, Diana, Arbenina, doesn't like to expose her personal life. 

Translated lyrics can be found below:
I will be waiting for you
In airplanes, in trains
Captured by mountain streams
Captured by mountain birds
In different languages
Foreign profile faces
I’ll find you anywhere
And the time of the year, you know, doesn't matter!

I will be waiting for you
Without noise, without name
Without a past “I love you”
I’m so comfortable in it
Captured by the mountain rivers
In different languages
I’ll find you anywhere
And if I’m the first one, you know, it doesn’t matter!

Running on the waves, you close your eyes
I will give you a kiss, like back then, in the movies
And choke on modest happiness: you’re with me!
My actress…

I will be singing to you
I have to sing out loud
In the pigeon’s mansard
Unintentionally, all night
In the final bends
In Geneva, in Moscow
I will be singing to you

I will be living like you
So honestly and also
I won’t call strangers in bed
Let it be cold and ice
I think that the one
Of us that won’t die
Will breathe for both
And if I’m the first one to go, you know, it doesn’t matter!

Running on the waves, you close your eyes
I will give you a kiss, like back then, in the movies
And choke on modest happiness: you’re with me!
My actress…

Running on the weaves, you close your eyes
I will give you a kiss, like back then, in the movies
And choke on modest happiness: you’re with me!
My actress…

I will be waiting for you…
