The time of the river has a winding course,
|
Now a violent rift, then a backwater in the reeds.
|
And what's ahead is planned on the course
|
Not a single living soul knows.
|
The time of the river has demonic habits -
|
If it storms, then there is no salvation in it.
|
Look how many years have passed, and we live with an eye
|
To the towers of the Magadan camps.
|
Chorus:
|
Do not promise - life will raise the bar,
|
Do not judge - fate changes color.
|
My grandfather spent two hours in the basement on Lubyanka
|
And he became gray-haired in less than thirty years.
|
We ruined the state in the whirlpool of the river,
|
Cutting down the double-headed eagle to the goldfinch.
|
And again we build life according to the new charter,
|
Swearing Russia in three throats.
|
Of course - it's time to call lawlessness to order,
|
Everyone is talking about it and making a face,
|
But they pay for the words with a soldier's oath,
|
And the blood of innocent boys is shed.
|
Chorus:
|
Do not promise - life will raise the bar,
|
Do not judge - fate changes color.
|
My grandfather spent two hours in the basement on Lubyanka
|
And he became gray-haired in less than thirty years.
|
Specific leaders and rogue prophets
|
Flicker here and there over the seething waters.
|
And with them all the people along a narrow channel
|
Sailing towards the unknown.
|
But we have what we build ourselves,
|
Until we overcome fear in our soul.
|
There they say again, they say clouds over the country,
|
And it's just a sky in the clouds...
|
And it's just a sky in the clouds...
|
And it's just a sky in the clouds... |
