Hope - Надежда - English translation - Английский перевод

Lyrics by Nikolai Dobronravov
Music by Aleksandra Pakhmutova


An unknown star is shining high,
Yet again we're torn from our home,
Yet again 'tween us big cities lie,
Gateways, runways, and the heavens' dome.

Where I'm now time rushes day by day,
We have fogs, and mists, and cold mornings.
And on an untrodden thorny way
We face problems coming with new dawnings.

Refrain:
My hope is my earthly guide,
And luck rewards for my endeavour.
Just one song is enough by my side -
About sweet home as ever.


Please, believe that here from far away
Many things become so small and little.
Stormy clouds simply fade to grey,
What was firm once now seems so brittle.

We must learn to wait for quite a while,
We must be both stubborn and persistent.
And sometimes we'll get a fortune's smile -
Our earthly succour and assistant.

Refrain.

And I can't forget our friendship ties,
All those songs that we sang once together,
Your, my fellow, dear tired eyes,
Grey-blue snow-whirls of the Moscow weather.

Yet again 'tween us big cities lie,
Life continues parting us as always.
The unknown star is shining high
As the sign of hope and earthly solace.

Refrain:
My hope is my earthly guide,
And luck rewards for my endeavour.
Just one song is enough by my side -
About sweet home as ever.
