Текст песни Валентина Толкунова - Песня для Эли

I read the note in the room
Among the general silence:
"Sing a song, Aunt Val,
To avoid war,

That people do not dare
On Earth, start it! "
Children's handwriting ... Signature: "Ale".
And - my silence ...

Eli, Olenka, Natasha ...
Slender shoulders of their ...
All children in the world - our!
The world has no children of others.

And we must live in the world
Hi, not hiding his eyes,
If children - our children! -
So great faith in us.

This song is easy for children across the earth -
So you grew up, walked side by side with us. *
Only good books so the flights in a dream ...
To know you only by hearsay about the war.

To know you only by hearsay about the war!

Did not we say to you,
To darkness covered the light,
To over their heads -
Black Shadow missiles?

To over them the birds singing -
On Earth, the most important thing.
You live quietly, Ale!
You're not afraid of anything!

This song is easy for children across the earth -
So you grew up, walked side by side with us. *
Only good books so the flights in a dream ...
To know you only by hearsay about the war.

To know you only by hearsay about the war!

This song is easy for children across the earth -
So you grew up, walked side by side with us. *
Only good books so the flights in a dream ...
To know you only by hearsay about the war.

To know you only by hearsay about the war!
