Wanderer

dedicated 
to James Byrd 
from Georgia 

-------------------------------------------------------------------
The wanderer with a guitar goes on the road in June.

Flowers and trees welcome him.

Birds would be glad to sing to the accompaniment of his guitar.

But they are disappointed:

Their songs are too cheerful and carefree

for sad-fine music of this romantic guitarist.

But I have sent to him a familiar swallow from Russia.

This small bird has a fine voice and kind heart.

That is why she can understand feelings,

thoughts and music of the June wanderer. 

The swallow from Russia will be glad to sing

to the accompaniment of his guitar,

and she will give to him my greeting.
