This is a song from a Soviet cartoon about a cute big-eared animal named Cheburashka and his friend Crocodile Gena. Russian kids adore these characters. For some reason, the cartoon is now popular in Japan :) In my mind, this song was tied to these characters so strongly that I failed to recognize it as a profound - almost philosophical – song about the need to expect positive changes in your life. ENGLISH LYRICS: Feel the precious minutes slowly ticking by Knowing they will never be restored We do happen to regret our past at times Yet there’s something good for us in store Rolling on, rolling on through the fields to the dawn It is a better world we’re all running to Anyone, anyone wants a place in the sun So catch the night express colored cyan-blue To a trusted friend, you may have been unfair Bitter words still echo with regret Something new will happen in the world out there Engineer, let’s go full speed ahead! Rolling
