Я не верил

Пугал оскалом скал желанный берег,
Который я искал, в который верил.
Но так он был высок, этот берег.
И как решиться на прыжок?
И я не верил.
 
Не верил я, что можно
Вот так, без крыльев за спиной,
Подняться над бездной,
Подняться над самим собой!
 
Я не верил, я не верил…
Я не верил, я не верил…
Я не верил, не верил я!
 
А там внизу поток рычал, как львица.
Не верил я, что смог взлететь, как птица.
И только тень моя упала в пропасть.
Не мог поверить я, что всё так просто.
 
Не верил я, что можно
Вот так, без крыльев за спиной,
Подняться над бездной,
Подняться над самим собой!
 
Я не верил, не верил…
Я не верил, я не верил…
Я не верил, не верил я!
 
Translation

I didn't believe

The desirable bank scared me by its greening rocks
I was looking for this bank, I believed in it
But that bank was so far away
How can I jump?
And I didn't believe...
 
I didn't believe that it's possible
Without wings behind a back
To rise above the abyss,
To rise above itself!
 
I didn't believe it, I didn't believe
I didn't believe it, I didn't believe
I didn't believe it, I didn't believe!
 
The torrent was growling down there just like a lioness
I didn't believe that I could fly like a bird
My shadow fell into a gap
I couldn't believe that it was so easy
 
I didn't believe that it's possible
Without wings behind a back
To rise above the abyss,
To rise above itself!
 
I didn't believe it, I didn't believe
I didn't believe it, I didn't believe
I didn't believe it, I didn't believe!
