Текст песни Песня на стихи Евгения Евтушенко - Птенец

Wings

Not hearing my mother's orders
over the colorful hum of the city
there was a chick at the edge of the roof
and there was heaven before him.

It called with spring blue
trumpeting booming winds,
but where to find such strength
to raise yourself into it?

It seemed that this power was not there,
but he saw in reality:
his relatives in the sky
from houses they dived into the blue,

There was a straight road
already by the sun itself,
and he stood, not understanding,
that he also has wings.

And suddenly, overpowering doubts,
dare to surprise,
not yet knowing the strength of the wings
he believed in them - and took off.
