| When it appears in front of you
|
| A beautiful and difficult mountain,
|
| Such thoughts penetrate the soul,
|
| That it's time for us to go hiking again.
|
| And we go out into this harsh world,
|
| Where not everyone is destined to go,
|
| Where you can see the planets sway
|
| On the yoke of the Milky Way.
|
| Won't take it there
|
| No elevator, no helicopter
|
| Important papers won't help there.
|
| There, my friend, on foot
|
| And only with a backpack,
|
| And only accompanied by courage.
|
| Imagine that they do not melt there in the fog
|
| Traces of people who passed before us.
|
| The voice of Misha Khergiani is heard there,
|
| Krylenko's back is visible through the blizzard.
|
| But we will always strive there,
|
| To lofty places above the bustle,
|
| Because a man, like a bird,
|
| Such joy is given - height.
|
| Won't take it there
|
| No elevator, no helicopter
|
| Important papers won't help there.
|
| There, my friend, on foot
|
| And only with a backpack,
|
| And only accompanied by courage.
|
| Glorified those who were on Everest,
|
| Who conquered the third pole of the world,
|
| Who but personal climbing honor
|
| He did not drop the honor of his Motherland.
|
| And if there is a mountain somewhere,
|
| Above the Everest Heights,
|
| Of ours, someone will break through there,
|
| If the day is not enough, then at night it will rise.
|
| Won't take it there
|
| No elevator, no helicopter
|
| Important papers won't help there.
|
| There, my friend, on foot
|
| And only with a backpack,
|
| And only accompanied by courage. |
