Город [Gorod] [English translation]

Hidden under the blue sky is a city of Gold,

With a transparent gate and a shining star.

And within the city is a garden, where all the herbs and flowers are;

Animals of unseen beauty stroll there.

One is like a fiery yellow lion,

Another is an ox with a head full of eyes;

Together with them is the Golden Eagle of Heaven,

Whose eyes are unforgettably bright.

And within the sky of blue a single star burns;

She is yours, oh my angel, always yours. 1

(And) Who loves is loved, blessed are pure in heart;

So let the star lead you to your garden.

You’ll meet the fire-maned lion,

And a blue ox with a head of eyes;

With them the Golden Eagle of Heaven,

Whose eyes are unforgettably bright.

1. In poetry I omitted the second “she is” to at least give in to the poetic nature of the song
