Прекрасное далеко [Prekrasnoye dalyoko] [English translation]

I hear the voice from the Wonderful Distant Future,

The morning’s voice in the silver dew.

I hear the voice, and the beckoning upcoming journey

Makes me dizzy from excitement, just like a carousel from childhood.

Chorus:

Oh, Wonderful Distant Future!

Don’t be so cruel to me,

Don’t be so cruel to me,

Oh, please, don’t be!

From the virgin waters,

To the Wonderful Distant Future,

To the Wonderful Distant Future

I’m starting my journey.

I hear the voice from the Wonderful Distant Future

It calls me to the marvelous lands.

I hear the voice, and it asks me a strict question:

What have I done today for the sake of tomorrow?

Chorus

I swear I will become better and kinder,

And I’ll never leave my friend in trouble.

I hear the voice and run to its call as fast as possible

On the road that has no traces left.

Chorus
