Beyond the sea, across the ocean,
Far from here, out of our sight...
There lies an island, truly glorious,
A gift from God, a pure delight!
Columbus sailed and suddenly noticed:
Greenery, mountains, and the mist...
He was the first in this wide world,
To find a land he hadn't missed!
Years went by, and even centuries...
The wondrous land began to grow!
Columbus himself could never fathom,
The PARADISE he helped to show!
Life in America is wonderful,
Happy are those who live there now!
You can see it in their faces –
With smiles upon their every brow!
It is far away, of course...
You can only reach it by flight,
But there were always obstacles –
Leaving us with a sorry plight...
Who will bring us closer? Who can?
Removing all the barriers in the way!
Making the world more accessible, closer...
Let everyone see it, come what may!!!
And such People were finally found,
A deep, deep bow to you, it's true!
No, no one will judge us for this,
We are flying abroad, we bid adieu!:)
The whole system has been simplified:
Passport, visa, and the plane...
And who cares what others think?
Life moves forward, again and again!
And the exchange! – it's all so simple,
We are students from Russia, you see,
The vastness of the universe calls us,
Learning languages, wild and free!
We go to communicate and share,
To gain wisdom and experience there...
To live in a Metropolis,
To discover our own America!!!
Americans come to visit us,
To study language and dance, it's a must...
To see the snow and Moscow too –
The ancient beauty, old and new!
It's useful for them, prestigious for us,
And the process is here to stay!
There will be a place for every student –
We will fly with EXCHANGE today!!!
I imagine years will pass by...
Ten, maybe twenty years or more...
What will happen on this planet???
Will we travel as before?
These bonds cannot be broken!!!
Curiosity will never fade...
Maybe we should erase the borders!?
And adopt one language, unafraid!?
To fly, to sail, and to travel...
With a single passport in our hand!
And when you see a friendly smile –
Smile back across the land!
We grow up – changing the world,
Progress does not scare us at all!
We live and we are waiting –
For miracles from EXCHANGE to call!!!
