Лебединая верность [Lebyedinaya vernost'] [English translation]
Лебединая верность [Lebyedinaya vernost'] [English translation]
Swans flew above the ground,
Lighten up by the sun.
Tranquil and joyful they were
Together in the sky.
The earth seemed gentle,
To them, in that moment
Then suddenly, they were fired upon
Letting out a cry!
What happened to you, my love?
Quick, answer me!
Without your love -
The whole sky is sad
Where are you, my love?
Quick, come back to me!
Your beauty and tenderness
Would warm my heart.
In the sky he searched for his girl friend,
From the nest he called out to her
But she responded with silence
The bird- what tragedy,
Fly away to the distant
No longer can he
Having lost the loyal friend
He is now alone!
Forgive me, my love
For the cruelty of the other
And that my wing
Could not protect happiness
Forgive me, my love
For a spring day
In the blue sky, same as before
We can not be together...
And irreparable was
The tragedy
His love will not reunite
With him ever again!
The swan rose once again to the clouds
Singing was cut short
Fearlessly he folded the wings,
And to the ground he plunged!
...
I wish the swans have lived on,
And for the white flock,
And for the white flock-
Could the world be kinder
Let the swans fly in the sky
Above the land of mine!
Fly beyond my destiny,
To the lucid and kind people!
