Intro

Orchestra swell, celebratory fanfare, joyful brass and soaring strings

Verse 1

High above the clouds, the sky is clear and blue

My dearest sister Nastya, the world belongs to you

At twenty-four years young, you take command today

Inside your AN-26, you soar and lead the way

Chorus

Happy birthday, Nastya, my pilot, hero, friend!

My love for you is deeper than the skies that never end

With wings of strength and courage, you fly so bold and free

Twenty-four bright years of life, you mean the world to me!

Verse 2

Through storm and quiet starlight, your hand is firm and strong

The twin engines are roaring, a triumphant birthday song

I watch you touch the heavens, so proud of all you do

No distance in the open air can hide my love for you
