Текст песни Д. Кабалевский, Е. Долматовский - Школьные годы

On the first fine September day
I entered timidly under the bright arches.
First tutorial and first lesson -
This is how the school years begin.

Chorus:

School years are wonderful
With friendship, with a book, with a song, -
How fast they fly!
You can't turn them back!
Will they fly by without a trace?
No! No one will ever forget
School years!

Here on my chest a scarlet tie blossomed,
Youth is raging like spring waters.
Soon we will join the Komsomol -
This is how the school years continue.

Life is the most serious subject.
We will find joy, we will overcome adversity.
Red Square. Spring dawn ...
School years are over.
