Мотылёк [Motilyok] [English translation]

Yes, it's easy to live in this world,

The rainbow shines in the sky,

The day is welcoming and bright,

And everything is singing around.

Neither working nor worrying,

It looks into a crystal world,

It looks into a crystal world,

And waits for the miracle.

This is its destiny,

To contend with morning wind

And not to know its swift fate,

Not to know until it comes.

The night won't catch it,

It will flutter and disappear,

Flying away forever,

Into other worlds.

If we only had these wings,

Who would we be then?

Maybe we'd freeze in the sky,

Gliding with the clouds.

Perhaps it is silly and strange

To be at the mercy of desires,

To be at the mercy of desires,

To believe it's not all in vain.

Like a little angel

It will fly over us,

It will fly over us,

Higher and higher.

And then it will melt away.

Someone will say: dawn is coming,

When spotting a white swarm -

The roundelay of the moths.

The night won't catch it,

It will flutter and disappear,

Flying away forever,

Into other worlds.

This is its destiny,

To contend with morning wind

And not to know its swift fate,

Not to know until it comes.
