"So this song—Winged Swing—I had wanted to do a ballad-like cover of it for ages. I also wanted to release it in the spring, because it speaks of April, but hadn’t received permission from the composer on time, as 2018 was coming to an end. As I waited for the permission"—exert from Secret Song Diary Chapter 14 exclusively available for Patreon membership. Sign up today: www.patreon.com/elizaveta
lyrics
В юном месяце апреле
В старом парке тает снег
И крылатые качели
Начинают свой разбег.
Позабыто все на свете,
Сердце замерло в груди—
Только небо, только ветер,
Только радость впереди.
Взмывая выше ели, не ведая преград,
Крылатые качели летят, летят, летят.
Детство кончится когда-то,
Ведь оно не всегда.
Станут взрослыми ребята—
Разлетятся кто куда.
А пока мы только дети—
Нам расти еще расти.
Только небо, только ветер,
Только счастье впереди.
Взмывая выше ели, не ведая преград,
Крылатые качели летят, летят, летят.
Шар земной быстрей кружится
От весенней кутерьмы.
И поют от счастья птицы,
И поем как птицы мы.
Позабыто все на свете,
Сердце замерло в груди—
Только небо, только ветер,
Только счастье впереди.
Взмывая выше ели, не ведая преград,
Крылатые качели летят, летят, летят.
———English Translation———
In the young month of April
Snow in he old park begins to thaw
And the winged swing
Is starting its take-off run
Everything has been forgotten,
Heart frozen inside the chest,
Just the sky, wind and joy
Are waiting ahead
Just the sky, wind and joy
Are waiting ahead
Rising up above the pines
Free from obstacles,
The winged swing is flying,
Flying higher and higher
Childhood will end someday
It is not forever
Kids will become adults,
They will go their separate ways
But so far we are only children,
We have time for growing yet,
Just the sky, wind and joy
Waiting ahead
Planet’s globe is turning faster
Because of the spring’s craziness
Birds are singing right above us,
And we’re singing with them
Everything has been forgotten,
Heart frozen inside the chest,
Just the sky, wind and joy
Are waiting ahead
Just the sky, wind and joy
Are waiting ahead
Rising up above the pines
Free from obstacles,
The winged swing is flying,
Flying higher and higher
