Ночная птица [Nochnaya ptitsa] [English translation]

What does a night bird sing about,

Alone in the silence of autumn?

About what she will soon parted with,

And will see this only in her dream.

And about what she tomorrow will begin flying

On a long way, spreading her wings;

And about what the life is stupid without a risk,

And yet the truth will win.

Night songs of the pythonic bird

became a food for my soul,

I suddenly realized one simple thing:

It would be hard to say goodbye to her for me.

In the cold morning her last cry

She will only throw to my side,

Night singer, I am your heir,

Fly, I'll sing your song to the end.

In the cold morning her last cry

She will only throw to my side,

Night singer, I am your heir,

Fly, I'll sing your song to the end.
