The Ballad of Leningrad
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the gray light of dawn, the Baltic,
|
|
The symphony brooding palaces
|
|
Iron fences wonderful sonnets
|
|
And the city's beautiful face.
|
|
|
|
Artists, poets, musicians -
|
|
We had the enviable fate:
|
|
Thee we give our talents,
|
|
You have made us - we make you
|
|
|
|
Your genius over centuries
|
|
Glorified verse and stone.
|
|
My City -
|
|
Art eternal flame.
|
|
|
|
As the song of the waters
|
|
Plyvosh you over the Neva
|
|
Through the years, for ages
|
|
It goes to immortality
|
|
Your beauty.
|
|
|
|
Your genius over centuries
|
|
Glorified verse and stone
|
|
Through the years, for ages
|
|
It goes to immortality
|
|
Your beauty. 1970 |
