Lady and Dragon Ballad

To my sons: Nikita, Yegor and Alexander.

Refrain:
Oh! Do you know, my dear, to try
How perfect to fly?
Once sample is worth while,
Touching of endless with open eyes!

(1)
One such was beautiful lady,
Living above the clouds,
Where the wonderful town,
Was full of emerald stones shrouds.

(2)
She was King’s nice daughter,
Town of his was padlock,
With golden great chains,
For ever green garden, guarded by hawk.

(3)
Close by this city Dragon’s flown,
And coming across the heaven,
They were falling in love, at once,
She told him about her dream, listen:

Refrain:
Oh! Do you know, my dear, to try
How perfect to fly?
Once sample is worth while,
Touching of endless with open eyes!

(4)
They was happy with their dream, but
When then the King heard this,
He was angry and with his people
Shout to her: you are silly!It's amiss!

(5)
Dragon ‘s known that, he is one
Too many here and flown away,
Lady’s, with tears, having no the wings
Had touched her end through sun’s ray.

(6)
Since Dragon looks for his lady,
And when the rainning from heaven,
This are his tears and heavy wings, as
Thunder pour his injury heartbreaken.

Refrain:
Oh! Do you know, my dear, to try
How perfect to fly?
Once sample is worth while,
Touching of endless with open eyes!
