Translation of the song Fly, Doves lyrics into English:
1. Fly, doves, fly,
There are no obstacles for you anywhere.
Carry, doves, carry
Our greetings to the peoples of the world.
Let the wind moan over the earth,
Let the sky be in dark clouds.
On the way, the kite will not overtake you,
The storm will not knock you off course.
2. In the name of happiness and freedom
Fly, doves, forward.
The people look with hope
At your swift flight.
Fly, doves, fly
In the rays of dawn and in the menacing darkness.
Call, doves, call
To work and peace on earth.
Оригинальный текст на русском языке:
Летите, голуби
1. Летите, голуби, летите,
Для вас нигде преграды нет.
Несите, голуби, несите
Народам мира наш привет.
Пусть над землёю ветер стонет,
Пусть в тёмных тучах небосвод.
В пути вас коршун не догонит,
С пути вас буря не собьёт.
2. Во имя счастья и свободы
Летите, голуби, вперёд.
Глядят с надеждою народы
На ваш стремительный полёт.
Летите, голу6и, летите
В лучах зари и в грозной мгле.
Зовите, голуби, зовите
К труду и миру на земле.
