Сергей Остапенко - Земля с птичьего полёта
текст песни

Bird, spreading its wings, flies
What does she see there above the ground?
Behind the facade of the central Avenue
Only slums, one another black
Circles of railway tracks
Asphalt tapes network
Small confusion of wires
Stretches into the abyss of days and years -

Earth from a bird's flight ...
Earth from a bird flight.

Youth and wasteland spots
As if a corpse battered by a leprosy
Oil pours out of the ground
Streams into the distance in the myriads of pipes
Bold scars of lakes and rivers
Still muddy waters carry
Black steppes, sick forests
Mines, careers here and here -

Earth from a bird's flight ...
Earth from a bird flight.

Bird, spreading the wings flies
What does she see there above the ground?
The bird does not know what will happen to her
The bird does not believe that the world is empty.

Earth from a bird's flight ...
Earth from a bird flight.
