Текст песни Вера Матвеева - Сказочник

Storyteller, storyteller, don't go!
You managed to tell a lot of fairy tales
but my tale is not told,
I must certainly find out
what lies ahead.

I must certainly find out
whether the path is long and where it will lead.
Just come up with a happy ending:
let the flying carpet help me
to avoid bitter trouble.

Fear and despair - I will endure everything
just come up with a happy ending -
this is your best fairy tale;
but for now listen, sage,
I'll sing you a song.

I'll sing you a song, wait:
night outside, warm by the fireplace,
there is wonderful tobacco in the snuffbox
and wine in a misted jug.
Storyteller, don't go!

Storyteller, storyteller, don't go
my tale has not been told ...

1972
