Prekrasnoe dalyoko (The Beautiful Far-Off Land)

Prekrasnoe dalyoko (The Beautiful Far-Off Land), performed here by the Meridian Trio, is a Russian song from the Soviet period. Here are the lyrics in in English: 

I hear a voice from a beautiful far-off land,

A voice in the silver morning dawn.

I hear a voice and the tempting road

Spins my head like a children’s roundabout.

Refrain:
 

Beautiful far-off land,

Don’t be cruel to me,

Don’t be cruel to me,

To me don’t be cruel.

From a pure source,

The beautiful far-off land,

Beautiful far-off land,

I’m starting my way.

I hear a voice from a beautiful far-off land.

It calls me to magical expanses.

A voice that asks me sternly:

What did I do today for tomorrow?
 

I swear to become purer and kinder

And never to betray a friend.

I hear a voice and hasten to answer its call

On the road that leaves no trace.
