I remember far in my childhood
My dear mother used to sing
About a happy land where
Life was but a paradise
There are no tears or misfortunes or storms
And in the skies as clear as turquoise
Over the outline of rivers and villages
There is an eagle soaring, a steppe eagle
Don't fly away, don't fly away
Please swoop around just a bit
And to your marvellous wonderland,
Can you please show the road to me
Though it must be pretty far
You'll get to it with such swift ease
You'll cover any distance, right
I beg you, on this flight take me
Yes, take me on this flight
Quite a time has passed
The fairy-tale is gone and the prey bird is gone
But from time to time I look up
In gloom into the skies
What if once more in my life
On one of those sombre winter days
While carrying along hope and warmth
There will flicker an eagle's wing.
Don't fly away, don't fly away
Please swoop around just a bit
And to your marvellous wonderland,
Can you please show the road to me
Though it must be pretty far
You'll get to it with such swift ease
You'll cover any distance, right
I beg you, on this flight take me
Yes, take me on this flight
Don't fly away, don't fly away
Please swoop around just a bit
And to your marvellous wonderland,
Can you please show the road to me
Though it must be pretty far
You'll get to it with such swift ease
You'll cover any distance, right
I beg you, on this flight take me
Yes, take me on this flight
