Wish To Friends – Bulat Okudzhava’s Пожелание Друзьям – English

This is a translated cover song. The original song is by Bulat Okudzhava in Russian. I translated the lyrics to English and changed some of the lyrics to make sense in English.

English lyrics:

VERSE 1

Oh friends let’s exclaim admirations to each other

And not fear that our words are forward and a bother

Tell pretty compliments that shine like stars above

And Catch ourselves in short moments of love

VERSE 2

Can we cry openly and comfort one another

Let’s feel each other’s needs before we start to suffer

Don’t pay attention to words that don’t have kindness

Since where there is love, nearby there’s also sadness

VERSE 3

Let’s understand each other mid-sentence and smile

Connecting in gazes that speak volumes in silence

Let’s live indulging in each other’s charm my friends

Because life’s too short to miss its magic moments
