Birds 1. Nightingales, nightingales, please, don’t wake our boys, Let the soldiers to sleep just a bit The spring came finely to the front The soldiers cannot sleep, no more But not because the canons strike The reason is that once again Forgetting battles going on The nightingales, they sing their song
2. Young eagle, young eagle, do shine with your feathers Your shadow veiling the sun I don’t want to think ‘bout death, please, believe me In my seventeen years of age
3. The warmth has leaved the fields And flock of cranes is led By leader to the green and warmer country The flock of cranes is sad Except for one young crane, One bird that doesn’t know much which makes him merry
4. You’re black raven, why are you circling Over my uncovered head I will not become your daily pray You’re black raven, I’m not yours
5. I ponder the blue skies, I wonder, I’m thinking Why am I not falcon, why am I not flying God, why didn’t you give wings to me, so I could fly I’d leave earth, leave ground, I’d fly in the sky
6. The gardens not appear blooming Responding to the coming warmth But I do see familiar stork bird Is straightening wings above our roof Ah, hello, stork bird We missed you much and finally you came I thank you, stork bird I thank you, dear bird What was supposed to happen ’s happening
7. Seagull ‘s bravely flying over White and grey sea waves Diving under and returning Flying over me Seagull, seagull, please do answer Are you not my friend? Take my greetings And please bring them To my dear friend
8. In Antarctic ice has covered ground In Antarctic ice is covered with the snow Only the penguins ’re living there While jealously protecting their ice and snow
9. Swans were flying over our land one sunny day They were feeling joy and happiness – just two of them Earth seemed beautiful to those birds, and at that point Someone shoot the flock so suddenly, and there was a cry: What is wrong with you, beloved mine Tell me you’re okay Sky without your love Feels so grey and sad Where are you, my swan, beloved mine, Please come back, please, soon Let your beauty warm my heart Let my love warm yours
10. Did you hear song of Russian thrush? Not the field’s one but the one from forest? Thrushes are amazing, charmer-birds Singers that are chosen by all Russia
11. The flying doves please keep on flying There are no obstacles for you The doves, you carry, please you carry Our “hi” to people of the world Let stormy wind wail over planet And sky vault covered with the clouds On your way vultures wouldn’t catch you On your way storms will not stop you
