Сокол [Sokol] [English translation]

When you cry for a while

Beside clouded glasses,

High in the sky

A falcon will appear.

A falcon will appear

High above the clouds,

And during this time one thing is important

That you don’t miss this occasion.

See his wings,

See his feathers,

And suddenly you’ll be surprised

as to who it is now? 1

But why is there a cloud below me,

Will it be clear to me?

So I cried,

(And it) was not in vain.

And here he is

My time has come,

And he comes down slowly

Traveling through my tribe.

And I’ll fly higher,

And I’ll fly towards the sun

And I’ll still remember,

What is below my window

With clouded glasses

Which begins to chip

My darlings

Will begin to glisten as they return.

So long as you cry for a long time...

1. This is strange. Is he asking or stating, I mean yeah it is a question mark, but asking just sounds strange. Like you start the sentence strong then to go “Wait, who is it now?” I might’ve translated this wrong or interpreted a line incorrectly though.
