"Leave the Cradle" lyrics
There are no official lyrics for the game main theme. There are some scraps on the web, but they're incomplete. And I have a hard time understanding some parts.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIhETAef0uc

For example, I don't get what she's saying at 5:21 after "and if you remember my face". But other parts are unclear to me as well.

Is anybody interested? If so we could try together.

What developers wrote (my translate):
"Initial text has been wrote in Russian, without rhyme. Then Yulia Butenko translated it and adopted to have rhyme"

(Original: "Текст песни писался на русском, без рифмы. Затем Юлия Бутенко перевела его на английский и облекла в стихотворную форму.")

Original Russian text:
Ты говоришь — это наше с тобой место. Ты говоришь, что хочешь быть только со мной. Ты говоришь, что не сможешь жить без меня. Милый, посмотри на меня. Ты должен узнать одну вещь…

Ты лежишь в колыбели. Мы не можем быть вместе, потому что мне тысячи лет, а тебе всего год. Посмотри на меня и запомни моё лицо. Чтобы быть со мной — покинь колыбель (leave the cradle). Найди меня.

Привев:
Покинь колыбель, и вместо меня ты увидишь пустоту. Сладость (sweet) станет одного вкуса с горечью (bitter). Тебе станет досадно (chagrin) и тревожно (anxiety). Ты встретишься с паникой (panic).

Одолей панику, и тебе покажется, что ты видишь меня. Это будет твоё отражение в зеркале (mirror). Ты влюбишься в себя, и приложишь ладонь к отражению. Оттолкни отражение. Найди меня.

Однажды ты присмотришься к отражению, и тебя вырвет собственными внутренностями. Ты увидишь пустоту в середине своей груди и перестанешь бояться её. Ты поймёшь, что меня не существует, и станешь взрослым. Если ты всё ещё будешь помнить моё лицо — собери меня из пустоты, и мы встретимся. Милый, запомни моё лицо. Меня зовут Красота.

Wow I didn't know it was originally written in Russian! Thank you so much for your reply, you're the only one who took an interest in this matter :D

If Google translate is to be trusted, in the Russian text there's a reference to becoming an adult. That's interesting, I wonder what that means. I believe this song is useful for understending the context in which the game takes place.

Yup, in the last paragraph "Ты поймёшь, что меня не существует, и станешь взрослым." -> like 'You will understand that I don't exist and you will become adult'.

In the song (timing from Deluxe edition) it's at 5:14-5:20 (something like 'Now, when you understand that one thing - you grow' as I can hear..)

That's pretty interesting! When I listened to it I got something different: I got "you'll understand that I'm nothing... you'll grab". I thought she was talking about beauty, which is a concept, and not a physical object. I was pretty sure about it, but I might have misheard it XD

This is what I could piece together after listening to it a few times, now with corrections from KorDen just below:

-----

You have to know one thing

You said that this is (the) place for you and me
You said you wanna be just with me
You told me you won't live without me
My baby look at me

You have to know one thing

You have to know one thing

You have to know one thing

Look at me and know one thing

Leave the cradle... You'll see emptiness
The sweetest will be a taste with the bitterness
You'll feel chagrin, you'll feel anxiety
Face the panic, leave the cradle

You lie in the cradle
We can't be... can't be together
I'm a hundred years old and you just...
...a one year old child

Look at me and keep in mind my face
To leave the cradle... This is the path...
This is the path... to leave the cradle

Find me baby

Leave the cradle... You'll see emptiness
The sweetest will be a taste with the bitterness
You'll feel chagrin, you'll feel anxiety
Face the panic, leave the cradle

So leave the cradle... You'll feel emptiness
The sweetest will be a taste with the bitterness
You'll feel chagrin, you'll feel anxiety
Face the panic, leave the cradle

(We) can cure this panic, you'll see
My image in your fantasy
And in the mirror, you'll find your face
You'll fall in love with your own face

Put your palm on your reflection
Force yourself to bring rejection
Throw it away ???
Leave the cradle

Find me

Leave the cradle... You'll see emptiness
The sweetest will be a taste with the bitterness
You'll feel chagrin, you'll feel anxiety
Face the panic, leave the cradle

So leave the cradle... You'll feel emptiness
The sweetest will be a taste with the bitterness
You'll feel chagrin, you'll feel anxiety
Face the panic, leave the cradle

One day you'll look closer at your reflection
And you're throughout(?) with your own trails
There's an emptiness inside your chest
But you won't must(?) carry it anymore

Now... you'll understand that I'm nothing
You'll grow up
And if you remember my face
Put me together from this emptiness

Hold me darling... yeah

Just remember me...

Remember me...

My name is...

Beauty

A few notes:

- Additonal sources / video/song versions used with a bit of lyrics provided there in comments: https://youtu.be/NMM3jDqH9i0, https://youtu.be/NKqApikjmJI

- ??? means one or more unintelligible words.

- "word(?)" means it's the most probable word I could think of based on what I seem to be hearing, and one that also makes sense (somewhat) in the context.

- The last word of the third line of the refrain should be actually "anxiety", but it is very badly pronounced and sounds something like "angsiry" (one of the other sources guessed it may be "lecturing").

- The second and fourth lines of the one before last verse may contain translation / grammar mistakes: "throughout" instead of "through" (in the sense of "done", "reached the end of") and "You won't must" instead of "You won't have to". Or I may have just misheard those parts.

Any corrections / suggestions are welcome.

Edits:
- Shamelessly lifted some of the corrections from KorDen just below, they semm to be spot on to me now that I'm reading them alongside the song.

Great work! Edited some strings (marked with *) based on what I hear and what I see in Russian text...

>Throw it away ???
Hmm, found that version: "Throw it away into infinity", though I can't exactly hear 'infinity'..

Hi all,
I started from scratch taking the original russian text as a reference, the following is what I have so far. The last verse is still just a guesswork however.

You have to know one thing

You said that this is place for you and me
You said you wanna be just with me
You told me you wan't live without me
My baby look at me

You have to know one thing
You have to know one thing
You have to know one thing
Look at me and know one thing

Leave the cradle, you'll see emptiness
The sweetness will be a taste with the bitterness
You'll feel chagrin, you'll feel anxiety
Face the panic, leave the cradle

You lie in the cradle
We can't be, can't be together
I'm hundred years old
You're just one year old child

Look at me and keep in mind my face
To leave the cradle, this is the path
This is the path to leave the cradle
Find me baby

Leave the cradle, you'll see emptiness
The sweetness will be a taste with the bitterness
You'll feel chagrin, you'll feel anxiety
Face the panic, leave the cradle
So leave the cradle, you'll feel emptiness
The sweetness will be a taste with the bitterness
You'll feel chagrin, you'll feel anxiety
Face the panic, leave the cradle

Can cure this panic, you will see
My image in your fantasy
And in the mirror you'll find your face
You'll fall in love with your own face
Put your palm over your reflection
Force yourself to bring rejection
Throw it away into infinity
Leave the cradle
(Find me)

Leave the cradle, you'll see emptiness
The sweetness will be a taste with the bitterness
You'll feel chagrin, you'll feel anxiety
Face the panic, leave the cradle
So leave the cradle, you'll feel emptiness
The sweetness will be a taste with the bitterness
You'll feel chagrin, you'll feel anxiety
Face the panic, leave the cradle

One day, you'll look closer at your reflection
Then you'll throw out with your own entrails
There's an emptiness inside your chest
Which you wan't be scared of anymore
And now you'll understand that I'm nothing
You'll grow up
And if you remember my face
Pull(?) me together from this emptiness
Call(?) me a darling
Just remember me
Remember me
My name is Beauty

Yay! Finally I had bothered devs on VK! :steamhappy:

Though, I'm currently disappointed with some parts of it...

Version from developers:

You said that this is place for you and me.
You said you wanna be just with me.
You told me you won’t live without me.
My baby, look at me…
You have to know one thing…
You have to know one thing…
You have to know one thing…
Look at me and know one thing…

Leave the cradle
And you’ll see emptiness.
The sweetness will be
One taste with bitterness.
You’ll feel chagrin
And you’ll feel anxiety.
You’ll face the panic…
Leave the cradle!

You lie in the cradle…
We can’t be together…
I’m hundred years old
And you’re just one year-old child oh…
Look at me and keep in mind my face.
This is the path
To leave the cradle.
This is the path
To leave the cradle.
Oh, find me, baby…

Leave the cradle
And you’ll see emptiness.
The sweetness will be
One taste with bitterness.
You’ll feel chagrin
And you’ll feel anxiety.
You’ll face the panic…
Leave the cradle!

Conquer this panic and you will see
My image in your fantasy.
And in the mirror you’ll find your face
You’ll fall in love with your reflex…
Put your palm on your reflection.
Force yourself to breath rejection.
Through it away in the infinity.
Leave the cradle…
Find me…

Leave the cradle
And you’ll see emptiness.
The sweetness will be
One taste with bitterness.
You’ll feel chagrin
And you’ll feel anxiety.
You’ll face the panic…
Leave the cradle!

One day you’ll look closely at your reflection and you’ll through up with your entrails.
You’ll see the emptiness inside your chest… you won’t be scared anymore. No…
You’ll understand that I’m nothing….you’ll grow up.
And if you remember my face, put me together from this emptiness.
We’ll meet darling…remember me…
My name is Beauty…
