Here a rusty crane grabbed a giant and demolished him with an outstretched hand,
|
And the torn trouser-legs of cast-iron look into the Kazan sky like an orphan.
|
The gray-haired spruce was covered with frost, he slammed like that, the last hello,
|
That nails flew out of the soul, which had been driven in since childhood.
|
Chorus:
|
“Once upon a time, the alleys here were narrow, and here on the square, a little to the side
|
The counselor in a smart white blouse tied a tie around my neck.”
|
Now whoever has fallen will never rise again, goodbye, Ilyich, I know from my own experience:
|
How difficult it is to break away from something that is brought up in you with milk.
|
Farewell, farewell without memory, without a word, only dried droppings of wild birds.
|
When there is nothing sacred in the soul, then there is no need to blame the people.
|
Chorus:
|
“Once upon a time, the alleys here were narrow, and here on the square, a little to the side
|
The counselor in a smart white blouse tied a tie around my neck.”
|
Ah, the red tie is a bitter loss and the holiday of May, peace and labor.
|
Even then I didn’t particularly believe, well, now even more so, gentlemen.
|
Years go by, but the painted needles still get stuck in lies along the very axis.
|
We are also children of the terrible years of Russia, we had a chance to see a lot.
|
Chorus:
|
“Once upon a time, the alleys here were narrow, and here on the square, a little to the side
|
The counselor in a smart white blouse tied a tie around my neck.”
|
“Once upon a time, the alleys here were narrow, and here on the square, a little to the side
|
The counselor in a smart white blouse tied a tie around my neck.” |
