Текст песни Евгений Гоз - Второе послевоенное танго Б.Окуджава, И.Шварц исп.Е.Гоз

Second post-war tango

Everything has its own time: pouring rain, the Earth spinning,
know where the first epiphany, where the last line ...
Suddenly a war began - they didn’t have time to say goodbye,
not a damn time to exchange addresses.

Where did we meet later? Where did we get the registration?
Where did our souls converge, returning from the front line?
On the surface of the earth? Is there an obelisk under the fifth?
Does the grocery store in Arbat? Is there a thundercloud in the black cloud?

Every unrighteous lesson is hardened and memorized for the future,
for there are no righteous lessons. Dust and decay.
Putting my hand on my heart, was I unlucky?
But here it is necessary, the heart freezes in anticipation of change.

Proud anthems, God sees, I did not sing trench porridge.
I don’t swear from separation and I don’t swear on fortune ...
But on the soft shoulder, on the evening, on yours,
if you do not mind, I will bow my head.
