Okudzhava's song "Pesenka o golubom sharike" follows the stages of life,
from a little girl losing a balloon to an old woman nearing the end of her
life.
In the last verse, the balloon comes back and the last line is "A on
goluboi."
There is a brief note in my Ardis collection of 65 songs that "In Russian
literature and folklore light blue is often associated with poetic
dreams."
Can anyone elaborate on that?
Thanks,
Eloise
