голобои вагон (A Russian Folk Song for Children)
Added 2022-02-28 23:45:00 +0000 UTCпривет покровители!
For those of you who don't speak Russian, that means Greetings Patrons! For those of you who do, I really hope I nailed the accent and pronunciation on this song?
It's called голобои вагон (Blue Wagon).
I should mention - I do know there is a lot of conflict going on in Russia and Ukraine right now. To be honest I'm worried, having got friends and Birdeatsbaby Flock in both countries.
However, I've been learning Russian for the last few years and my Latvian teacher introduced me to this children's song a long time ago. I guess what I'm trying to say it I was a bit uncertain whether to release this due to the whole political climate right now, but I still think this is a beautiful song and some music from Russia that should be celebrated.
Here is the original (played by Crocodile Gena) and the rough translation, I think it's fitting:
And slowly do the minutes tick away
Don’t you expect to find them again
Even if giving up the past is a bit sad
Everything that’s best still lies ahead
Just like a carpet, oh a carpet
A long road unfolds ahead
And it pushes up against the sky
Everyone, everyone believes in the best
Rolling & streaming ahead, a blue wagon
Unintentionally, we might have hurt someone
The calendar will forget that day
To all new escapades we are rushing my friends
Hey driver, add some extra speed
The blue wagon rolls and streams ahead
Rushing engine picking up some speed
Why, oh why, does this day have to end?
Wish it would last a whole year
Love & Feathers,
Mishkin x

Yes, once again it is the evil men in governments acting with violence and hate. And innocent people are the ones who suffer
