Текст песни Роберт Рождественский - Та зима была

That winter was
like a war -
fierce.
Drilled,
hardened by the wind.
The snow lay
heavy on January
heap.
And groaned at home
under his weight.
Across the chipped floor
frost crept.
The new teacher coughed
Sergey Sanych.
The ink was frozen
in our class,
and control dictation
canceled the head teacher.
I believed
which is not in vain
the wind is wailing
not by chance
hurts in the morning
throat,
because they stayed
all over the world
only winter and war -
from the seasons ...
And the blizzard whipped
large on the ground,
and the river trembled
in the icy drone.
And the holes in the windows
bloomed round,
as if in every
someone planted
bullet!
And put on a neighbor
widow's scarf.
And she moaned late, late ...

That winter was
like a war -
long.
I remember -
and even now
I'm freezing.
