Текст песни Б. Окуджава - Бумажный солдат

Intro: Am Am ​​Am ​​Am
One soldier lived in the world.

E
Beautiful and courageous
E
But he was a child’s toy,
Am
After all, there was a paper soldier.

He wanted to remake the world,
What would everyone be happy
And he hung on a string,
After all, there was a paper soldier.

He would be glad into the fire and into the smoke
To die twice for you
But you made fun of him
After all, there was a paper soldier.

You did not trust him
Important secrets
And why? But because
That there was a paper soldier.

And he, curse his fate,
I didn’t crave a quiet life,
And everyone asked: “Fire, fire!”,
Forgetting that it is paper.

Into the fire? Well then: "Go!" - "Are you coming?" -
And he took a step once
And there he burned for a penny,
After all, there was a paper soldier *.
