Song information On this page you can read the lyrics of the song Про козла отпущения , by - Владимир Высоцкий. Про козла отпущения(original) |
| В заповеднике, вот в каком забыл, |
| Жил да был козел, роги длинные, |
| Хоть с волками жил — не по-волчьи выл, |
| Блеял песенки, да все козлиные. |
| И пощипывал он травку, и нагуливал бока, |
| Не услышать от него худого слова. |
| Толку было с него, правда, как с козла молока, |
| Но вреда, однако, тоже никакого. |
| Жил на выпасе, возле озерка, |
| Не вторгаясь в чужие владения. |
| Но заметили скромного козлика |
| И избрали в козлы отпущения. |
| Например, медведь, баламут и плут, |
| Обхамит кого-нибудь по-медвежьему, |
| Враз козла найдут, приведут и бьют, |
| По рогам ему, и промеж ему… |
| Не противился он, серенький, насилию со злом, |
| А сносил побои весело и гордо, |
| Сам медведь сказал: «Ребята, я горжусь козлом, |
| Героическая личность, козья морда!» |
| Берегли козла, как наследника. |
| Вышло даже в лесу запрещение |
| С территории заповедника |
| Отпускать козла отпущения. |
| А козел себе все скакал козлом, |
| (translation) |
| In the reserve, that's the one I forgot, |
| Once upon a time there was a goat, long horns, |
| Though he lived with wolves, he howled not like a wolf, |
| Bleated songs, but all goat. |
| And he plucked the grass, and worked up his sides, |
| Do not hear a bad word from him. |
| There was sense from him, however, like from a goat's milk, |
| But no harm, however. |
| Lived on a pasture, near a lake, |
| Not invading other people's possessions. |
| But they noticed a modest goat |
| And they were chosen as scapegoats. |
| For example, a bear, a troublemaker and a rogue, |
| Hurt someone like a bear |
| At once a goat will be found, brought and beaten, |
| By his horns, and between him... |
| He did not resist, gray, violence with evil, |
| And endured beatings cheerfully and proudly, |
| The bear himself said: "Guys, I'm proud of the goat, |
| Heroic personality, goat face! |
| They took care of the goat as an heir. |
| There was even a ban in the forest |
| From the territory of the reserve |
| Release the scapegoat. |
| And the goat kept jumping around like a goat, |
