Текст песни Елена Ваенга - Жираф. Первое для меня и любимое у Гумилёва

Today , I see your point of view is especially sad
And especially thin hands , hugging his knees .
Listen : far, far away , on Lake Chad
Wanders giraffe .

He gracefulness and bliss given,
And his hide adorned with a magical design
With that dares to be only the moon ,
Fractions and bouncing on the wetness of the wide lake .

In the distance he looks like the colored sails of a ship ,
And his gait is smooth as a joyous bird flight.
I know that a lot of wonderful sees the earth ,
When at sunset he hides in a marble grotto .

I know funny tales of mysterious lands
About the black maiden, young chief passion ,
But you have too long inhaled the heavy mist ,
You do not want to believe in anything but the rain.

And I 'll tell you about a tropical garden,
About slender palm trees, the scent of inconceivable herbs.
Are you crying ? Listen ... remote, on Lake Chad
Wanders giraffe .
