Jeez, Roota, that was hard work. Here it is translated for you. Into Japanese.
Odayaka na hibi ni deateta no nara
'Subete yume datta yo' tte mezamete mitai
Dore kurai kimi wo machitsuzuketa darou?
Setsunasa igai wa mou koko ni nai

Me ga kuramu hizashi ga terashiteru
Kogoeta kokoro wa moeru you ni
Miageta hitomi wa sora wo megakete
Saigo no hitotsu made mabushii ya wo hanatsu

Written by Alexander Morozov & Albert Azizov, I think.

You're always being a pest.

- but you love it.
Sorry, sweets, but I've busted me nuts on this and got nowhere really.
The song is probably "You and the Sky", although one site gave it as "You and the Sky (for Takeoff)" but my Russian is so crap it could just have meant you could download it.
Can't you just sing any old Ken Dodd song to it? Actually, I think that does sound like a Ken Dodd song, I was never a big fan of his - he induced dry retching which detracted from his music somewhat.
Good luck. (And that link above - looks the same, but just the same staging. Looks like a school hall.)

Thanks Larry, this may prove helpful whe I'm persuading russian students to translate it
AT GUNPOINT.

The song might be based on
Yesterday looked-not doglyadela
this sky in the stars
or stars in the sky
like holes in the body,
as frames in a film
as unknown and the unknown,
as I and Thou
in large this world.

- but I think probably not. What I can pick up is really schlocky.

I believe you Roota - it ain't out there.
Well it is, if you can find the Russian Songfacts and someone to read it. Bo'soir!

I know someone born in Georgia
I'm going to tie her up and make her listen and translate tomorrow.
