Текст песни Виктор Смирнов - БАКЕНЫ. Памяти Эльдара Александровича Рязанова

BAKENS

Poems: Eldar Ryazanov
Music: Victor Smirnov

On a mighty river, sovereign,
With the relentless flow of water
There lived buoys - white and red,
Protecting ships from harm.
The ships went fast and boldly,
Although the river is sometimes treacherous,
Since the buoys are red and white
The path was shown from afar.

Musical insert:

Night fell, danger thickened
You can't see the banks by the river,
But two buoys - white and red
Lights-beacons are lit.
Their lights are equally different
And as soon as the steamer passes,
Winks at a friend white red
White - blinks at a red friend.

Musical insert:

So what if one of them is white,
And the other one is painted red:
Halves of a whole
In essence, there is no difference in them.
Both serve in the same shipping company,
Both are buoys, both are equal.
Please don't look for similarities
With a biography of our country.
