Текст песни Владимир Высоцкий - Мой друг уехал в Магадан

Igor Kochanowski

 My friend went to Magadan -
 Remove the hat , remove the hat !
 Left alone , left alone -
 Not block , not phase.

         Not that a friend had bad luck ,
        Not to someone out of spite,
        Not for rumors : that supposedly - eccentric -
        And just like that .

 Perhaps someone will say : & quot; In vain !
 So as to decide - just lose !
 After all there - solid camp ,
 And they - the killer , and in them - the killer ... & quot;

        He said : & quot; Do not believe the rumor -
        They were not more than in Moscow ! & Quot;
        Then tuck suitcase
        And - in Magadan.

 Not that I - not for years -
 I'd jumped out of the train at night -
 But I 'm not going to Magadan,
 Forgetting habits , closing quotation marks.

        I will sing to the string ringing
        About the fact that he will see ,
        About the fact that life is not seen , -
        About Magadan.

 My friend left itself -
 He has enough , had enough -
 It will not beat the convoy -
 He volunteered , he voluntarily .

        And to me from God given destiny ...
        And maybe , too - to Magadan ?
        Go with a friend at the same time -
        And lay low ! ..
