Once I walked along a crowded street, there I saw an old man with long white beard.
He was standing poor but very neat, and he sang the ballad like a bird.
I stood to listen just for a while, but I couldn't start to move my feet,
Until the song was over and meanwhile, having finished, the old man disappeared.
Since that time I've got a strange feeling, in my heart this song is playing all the time.
And I can't refuse to sing you this. You may listen to me if you have some time.
It was long ago the old man sang. In one country I met family.
Where the art boy was considered mad, because he did not recognize things, namely:
When I asked him what he wants to do, he did not reply immediately.
Then I asked him what he wants to get, he started singing this song finally:
I want to get to the Sun. Yeah, I want to get to the Sun.
I want to live at the Sun. Yeah, I want to live at the Sun.
I want to see the light all day. Yeah, I want to bathe in light all day.
That's why I want to get to the Sun. That's why I want to live at the Sun.
I'm not afraid to be burned. I'm not afraid to be burned.
Yeah, I'm not afraid to be burned. If it be in the light of the Sun.
May be in the light of the Sun. It is better than to get into the Earth.
Yeah, it's better than to get into the Earth. 'Cause I want to be with the Sun.
Yeah, I want to live at the Sun.
There is no night, there is always day. No, there is no night, there is always day.
'Cause the Sun is made of pure light. Yeah, the Sun is made of pure light.
There everything is in harmony. Yet there everybody lives in harmony.
That's why I want to get to the Sun. Yeah, I'm gonna get to the Sun.
I am ready to forget everything. Yeah, I'm ready to live everything.
All I want to know is the Sun. All I want to have is only the Sun.
I'm not crazy, I'm simply a child, whose soul is made of pure light.
I have nothing at this end. Here is nothing for I'd like to fight.
Let me go and let me be free. Let me live in harmony.
Let me unite with the Sun. 'Cause I can't live without the Sun.
Having sang this, the boy disappeared. This was his swan song that I'm singing to you now, my dear.
And I want to follow him along. 'Cause I want to get to the Sun.
Yeah, I want to get to the Sun. 'Cause I want to unite with the Sun.
Yeah, I can't live without the Sun. 'Cause I want to get to the Sun.
But his song still is playing in my heart and it's making in me changes, my dear.
I feel I soon will get into the stars, where I'll understand a simple thing.
There is nothing that holds me here, and I'll find someone who will listen my swan song while I'm going over there.
'Cause I want to get to the Sun. Yeah, I want to get to the Sun.
'Cause I want to unite with the Sun. Yeah, I can't live without the Sun.
I want to see the light all day. Yeah, I want to bathe in light all day.
That's why I want to get to the Sun. That's why I want to live at the Sun.
