i study in canada - was in moscow for a cultural exchange, and a week ago, i heard the most beautiful song being played by a busker in the moscow metro - i don't speak russian (am learning now!), so the only thing i could find out about the song was that its title, which i think means ' beautiful afar'?

The title (according to Google: Translator) means Beautiful Far.

I found this when I googled the Russian name:

I found what appears to the lyrics on another website and this is what it translate into:

Hear the voice of Wonderful Daleka
The voice in the morning dew silver
Hear the voice and alluring road
Tumults head as a child carousels
Beautiful Far
Do not be cruel to me
Do not be cruel to me
Not be severely
From the pure source
As far Beautiful
As far Beautiful
I begin the road
Hear the voice of Wonderful Daleka
He calls me beautiful province
Hear the voice of the voice asked strictly
And now that I have made for tomorrow
Beautiful Far
Do not be cruel to me
Do not be cruel to me
Not be severely
From the pure source
As far Beautiful
As far Beautiful
I begin the road
I swear, that will become cleaner and kinder
I did not throw in trouble friend ever
Hear the voice and call for early rush
On the road on which no trace
Beautiful Far
Do not be cruel to me
Do not be cruel to me
Not be severely
From the pure source
As far Beautiful
As far Beautiful
I begin the road
Beautiful Far
Do not be cruel to me
Do not be cruel to me
Not be severely
From the pure source
As far Beautiful
As far Beautiful
I begin the road

I hope this helps!
