Why am I not flying? Why, God, did you not give me wings? I would leave the earth and fly into the sky. Far beyond the clouds, away from the world, I’d seek for my destiny and for peace And ask for affection from the sun and the stars, And drown my longing in their bright radiance. Indifferent fate does not need me since childhood, I am just its laborer, a stray boy for it. I am a stranger to my destiny, a stranger to people. Who will love a child that is not their own? ORIGINAL UKRAINIAN LYRICS: Дивлюсь я на небо та й думку гадаю: Чому я не сокіл, чому не літаю, Чому мені, Боже, ти крилець не дав? Я б землю покинув і в небо злітав. Далеко за хмари, подальше од світу, Шукать собі долі, на горе привіту І ласки у сонця, у зірок просить, У світлі їх яснім все горе втопить. Бо долі ще змалку здаюсь я нелюбий, Я наймит у неї, хлопцюга приблудний; Чужий я у долі, чужий у людей: Хіба ж хто кохає нерідних дітей? #AnatolySolovianenko #ukrainiansongs #folksongs -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- Please watch: ““Here’s the Postal Troika Rushing“ - Leonid Kharitonov (1987)“ -~-~~-~~~-~~-~-
