Стрела Амура [Strela Amura] [English translation]

I take my arrow,

string it in my bow,

take aim and then let go. Always hit my mark.

I open up my eyes, "Hello"

wings down, and by my side, arrows.

Fly so high up in the sky

I'm above the clouds.

With a single flap of my wings

I make all the Heavens sing.

They make cards 'bout me down there.

He leaves and she cries in despair.

But my role is just to fly above

and shoot these arrows of love

into strangers' hearts.

I take my arrow,

string it in my bow,

take aim and then let go. Always hit my marks.

It's my lot, you see.

Call it my destiny.

For everyone but me.

To shoot love in hearts.

If I weren't me but an Australian.

I'd not have a bow but a boomerang.

And maybe hit myself with love

Purposely by accident.

I know you've heard my name.

Called for me to end you pain.

And so I'll do it again.

Here's an arrow for you my friend.

I take my arrow,

string it in my bow,

take aim and then let go. Always hit my marks.

It's my lot in life, you see.

Call it my destiny.

For everyone but me.

To shoot love in hearts.

The rain may cry.

And, so do I sometimes.

When I think about my lonely plight.

I still have hope that I

one day might somehow find

an arrow of love with me within its sights.

I take my arrow,

string it in my bow,

take aim and then let go.

Always hit my marks.

It's my lot in life, you see.

Call it my destiny.

For everyone but me.

To shoot love in hearts.
