lyrics
Сяду я верхом на коня
I ride, here astride this steed
Ты неси по полю меня
You carry me across these fields
По бескрайнему полю моему
Across these, my endless fields
По бескрайнему полю моему
Across these, my endless fields
A frozen scarlet sunset in the snow
I ride across the fields of my home
As far as I can see, starlight over me
never will I ever be alone
Дай-ка я разок посмотрю
Let me just this once have a glimpse
Где рождает поле зарю
Where these fields give birth to the dawn
Ай, брусничный цвет, алый да рассвет
Oh, the cranberry scarlet
colour of the sunrise
Али есть то место, али его нет.
Could this place be real, alas perhaps not
Ай брусничный цвет, алый да рассвет
Oh, the cranberry scarlet
colour of the sunrise
Али есть то место, али его нет
Could this place be real, alas perhaps not
In spring thaw the orchard blooms to life
The winding river leads home to my wife
With flowers in her hair
She sleeps without a care
In Mother Russia’s golden morning light
But alas it’s just a dream
I wake up here at sea
On Khlebnikov breaking through the night
Ай, брусничный цвет, алый да рассвет
Oh, the cranberry scarlet
colour of the sunrise
Али есть то место, али его нет
Could this place be real, alas perhaps not

Master of melodies, casually deft at strumming that guitar, thoughtful, poetic; this album has everything you ever came to love about Sarah Harmer.
A Beautiful Voice with a beautiful voice and I'm so glad to hear it singing again! A
