Lighter delights


My "Worldish/English" version of the song elsewise given to Anri Volokhonskiy, Aleksey Khvostenko, Elena Kamburova, Vladimir Vavilov, Francesco Canova da Milano, B.G., & many others.

Under a sky of blue,
There is a golden town
With gates translucent as the sea
And with a shining wall.
There stands a garden grove
With grasses, flowers strewn,
Where stroll fantastic animals 
Of beauty unbeknown:

One's like a yellow lion
Golden-maned;
Next to an azure
Ox of flooded eyes;
With them is
The skyways' golden
Eagle,
Whose bright gaze is beaming
Unforgettable!

And in the sky of blue,
There shines a single Star...
It's yours, my angel! Yours, my soul!
It's yours, forever-more!
Who blesses is the bless'd...
Who loves is the belov'd...
Out to that garden
May the star
Direct you on your path...

Where you will meet 
The lion golden-maned,
And by the azure
Ox get recognized...
Then you'll see 
The skyways' golden 
Eagle,
Whose bright gaze is beaming 
Unforgettable!
