Журавль в небе [Zhuravl' v nebe] [English translation]

Cranes are flying in the sky

They're flying over poplars

They say, ''better to have a tomtit in the hand

Than a crane in the sky" *

I've been told, "you should cherish happiness

Otherwise, they'll call you a crank

Better to keep a little thing than

To dream about something big"

But I'd like, I'd like

To have a crane in the sky

A tomtit in the hand is useless

If there is no crane in the sky

But I'd like, I'd like

To have a crane in the sky

A tomtit in the hand is useless

If there is no crane in the sky

Maybe, I am really crank

I can't help with it

They give me a tomtit for free

They give me a luck right to my hands

Cranes are flying in the sky

They're flying over poplars

They say," better to have a tomtit in the hand

Than a crane in the sky"

But I'd like, I'd like

To have a crane in the sky

A tomtit in the hand is useless

If there is no crane in the sky

But I'd like, I'd like

To have a crane in the sky

A tomtit in the hand is useless

If there is no crane in the sky

But I'd like, I'd like

To have a crane in the sky

A tomtit in the hand is useless

If there is no crane in the sky

But I'd like, I'd like

To have a crane in the sky

A tomtit in the hand is useless

If there is no crane in the sky
