Прекрасное далеко [Prekrasnoye dalyoko] [English translation]

I hear a voice from the beautiful future

Voice of dawn, like silvery dew

I hear a voice, and a road gleams before me

Makes my head whirl like a childhood carousel.

Refrain:

Oh glorious, distant future

Don't be cruel to me

Don't be cruel to me

Don't be cruel!

My heart's desire is pure

For the glorious, distant future

To the glorious, distant future

I begin my journey now.

I hear a voice from the beautiful future

It calls me to a wonderful place

I hear the voice, asking me quite sternly,

"What have you done for tomorrow, today?"

Refrain

I promise to be truer and kinder

And to never leave a friend who needs my help

I hear the voice and follow after it swiftly

On a road where no footprints yet have been.

Refrain
