Текст песни ОЛЕГ МИТЯЕВ - Ну, как я уеду

Well, how do I leave?

Am
Someone left, someone stayed,
Dm
Someone returned, someone sold out -
E Am E
Everyone is convincing: "It's time to go."
Our silence is inexplicable
It smells of despair of vodka and smoke.
I ought to go, it's clear, but ...

Am Dm E
But how will I leave if there are twenty days before summer,
Am E
If the ice melted on the Patriarch's,
Am Dm
The nights smelled of fresh earth, and stronger and stronger
E Am E
The trees whisper: "Wait, and everything will pass."

They write from Haifa and from Paris,
The timing is coming closer and closer
Only separation is not an easy thing.
It's even enviable if others
And have not heard of nostalgia,
Let them be lucky and live up to a hundred.

And I return again and again to my city
Wipe dusty glass for the holiday.
It's clear that we are idiots, but with longing
Better not to play "Russian Roulette".

After the dank matte chill
We are without coupons of summer heat,
As veterans, will give out faded May.
And we can't go anywhere else
Except how to survive and warm up
To the surprise of everyone who said goodbye.

Do not get angry with us, do not break, do not run away.
Do not invent that we will start all over again.
We have learned to wait in long winters
And we stay again, and we wait again.
