пасторальное

[avva]

(по мотивам русского фольклора)

A fish in a can is content with its fate,
It floats there, so happy and free.
I wish I had purpose in life, like that fish.
I wish I had somewhere to be.

There's an axe in the river - it's following the course,
Having floated from the village upstream.
I could take it, but that would make everything worse.
Let it float. Let it drift. Let it dream.
