"Dust in the Wind" is a hit single released by the American progressive rock band Kansas in 1977. It peaked at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart the week of April 22, 1978, making it Kansas' only top ten Billboard Hot 100 charting single. Written by Kerry Livgren, it was one of the band's first acoustic tracks; its slow melody and melancholy lyrics differ from their other hits, such as "Carry On Wayward Son" and "The Wall". The song's instrumental bridge contains a distinctive and highly memorable melodic line for solo viola played by Robby Steinhardt.
Kansas also released a live version of the song on their album Two for the Show.
================
I close my eyes, only for a moment and the moment's gone.
All my dreams pass before my eyes in curiosity.
Dust in the wind.
All they are is dust in the wind.
Same old song.
Just a drop of water in an endless sea.
All we do crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see.
Dust in the wind.
All we are is dust in the wind.
Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky.
It slips away and all your money won't another minute buy.
Dust in the wind.
All we are is dust in the wind.
Dust in the wind.
Everything is dust in the wind.

Пыль на ветру (перевод Анастасия Казакова)
Я закрываю глаза лишь на мгновение, и этого времени уж нет...
Все мои диковинные мечты проходят перед глазами.
Пыль на ветру,
Все они пыль на ветру...
Те же старые песни.
Просто одна капля воды в бесконечном море.
Все, что нами сделано, рухнет на землю,
но мы отказываемся это видеть.
Пыль на ветру,
Все мы пыль на ветру....
Не упорствуй, ничто не вечно, лишь земля и небо...
Время по капле утекает, и даже за все деньги не купить еще минуту...
Пыль на ветру,
Все мы пыль на ветру...
Пыль на ветру,
Все это пыль на ветру...
