So sorry to keep bugging you guys! Can someone please help me out with this song? I think I have hit official obsession with Russki Razmer. I really love this song and think it is really beautiful, but I just can't seem to translate it correctly. I kept trying but the syntax is REALLY confusing me.

Лети(Fly)

Там, где город высотой в пол неба
Там, мне крылья за спиной расправил ветер
Он,позвал меня с собой туда где свет.
Где город даст ответ,на все вопросы,
А ветер мне скажет
Лети
За мной.

Дождь,раскрасил все дома серым.
Я,сведу его с ума,наверно первым.
Он , позвал меня с собой туда где свет
Где город даст ответ,на все вопросы,
А ветер мне скажет
Лети
За мной.

Thank you so much for having pity on my poor soul!

There, where the city is half sky high,
There the wind has spread my wings behind my back.
He's invited me to go with him to the place where there is light,
Where the city will answer all questions
And the wind will tell me:
"Fly
After me."

Rain painted all houses gray.
I will probably be the first to drive him crazy.

...Or the authour of the post may choose lyrics with clearer syntax and better Russian - lyrics that make more sense. :) Sometimes lyrics can even pass for poetry (Владимир Высоцкий, for example; may sound a bit old-fashioned for *LOL* modern youth. That's Russian Joe Dassin/George Brassens, so to speak).

Of course, I wouldn't dare to critisize one's tastes in music; but if we are speaking of the lyrics as a source of linguistic information - that's different and "Русский Размер" might not be the best.

P.S. Yes, I am a snob, but that's not the point. *LOL*

Haha its all ok. I can be somewhat of a music snob as well, but my realm of knowledge only really goes to music in English. I really don't know very much Russian music (see all of my previous posts), but I do especially love this song. Its just pretty lol.

Just pretty? That's a different matter then. :)) That I can understand.
