Текст песни Лукоморье - Расскажи мне ветер вольный

Tell me the wind is free
What are you singing about and moaning about?
What distant countries are you from
Do you drive the gloomy clouds?
Where are these clouds with you
So many tears have accumulated
That forests, hills and steppes
Have they been watered with a stream?
Tell me everything, wind -
Do not hide the bitter truth.
Free wind answers:
"I rush from cold countries,
Not blooming, not welcoming,
Not rich, not free.
I heard moans from people
I sing about their bondage
About their great sorrows,
About their wrong share.
From the dwellings and houses of the wretched
Tears rose to the sky
In the clouds of smoky and rainy
Accumulated, gathered.
No matter how many clouds I carry -
They can't cry those tears. "
