Текст песни Александр Городницкий - Сон

I saw a dream in reality, in reality, -
I am sailing on a ship in a dream in the ocean.
At the stern, where the feet are hot from the boards,
The north wind touched my shoulder.

And I asked the wind: "Listen, brother,
Why am I so glad to see you?
Why am I all looking at the trail behind the stern?
Why do I want to go home so badly?

I see my parents' house in that direction
There, neither night nor day, the light is not extinguished in the window.
Tired of worries and not knowing sleep,
Mother is waiting for me by the window, by the window. "

The wind whispers: "Do not waste words in vain:
Where the parental shelter is, there is no mother waiting for you.
A gray stone stands aside from the dwelling,
Your dear mother lies under that stone. "

"Don't hit me in flight - this wound is strong,
A young wife is waiting for me on earth.
It's hard for her to be apart, but I'll come to her -
Any trouble will take her hands away. "

The wind whispers, and the gray wave echoes:
"The young wife will not greet you.
It has been a long time since she looked after the ship.
Anyway, he says, I don't like him. "

"Who is drawing golden rays to me?
Who calls softly in a dream in the night?
Who beckons me back to my native land? "
"This is your song, this is your song ..."

I saw a dream in reality, in reality, -
I am sailing on a ship in a dream in the ocean.
The ship lurching sideways, calling out: "Wait!"
The sound is empty, the sound is empty.
