Pushkin). Piano: B. Abramovich. Recorded in 1970. Happily born to live for need, God s birds in the world. Without effort and without worry they built their nests, Dozing peacefully in the green trees. God s morning cry rings. Early red blazes in heaven s seams: Birds shake themselves and sing. After the springs short delight Dwindles rapidly the summers glory, Clouding mist covers the sun, Already is the winter s night near. For us it will be bleak, for us it will be cloudy, The birds fly to the south, Across the blue ocean, they fly to a new spring. Thanks to The Lied and Art Song Texts Page for the English
