Город [Gorod] [English translation]

Above the azure sky a golden city lies,

With crystal gates, that open wide, and bright star in the skies,

There is a garden where the grass is lush and green,

Amazing beauty animals are wandering within:

One's like a yellow lion with red mane,1

Another's like an ox with many eyes,2

[With] them a golden eagle from the heavens,3

Whose gaze is so bright and unforgettable.4

But in the azure sky the only star's ablaze.

It's yours, my angel, yours alone, until your final days.

Who loveth is beloved, whose spirit's pure is blessed,

So let your star lead you in there on never ending quest.

The red-maned lion'll meet you at the gate

Together with the ox with many eyes,

And the golden eagle from the heavens,

Whose gaze is so bright and unforgettable.
