Текст песни Александр Кальянов - Муму

A big car was walking in Moscow
All stood swallowing dust
With a briefcase, a man was sitting inside
And looked gloomily at the road

Suddenly stop, what's there? he asked
A worker, and that concrete was kneading
And he gave him a very simple answer
There will be marble here,
To stand in memory of people
Our great writer Leo Tolstoy

There will be marble here,
To stand in memory of people
Our great writer Tolstoy

Oh, Leo Tolstoy, well, I read
He wrote a lot of good things
But the best that he did
His tragic novel Mumu

And the faces of a large oval swam in breadth
The worker says: "Didn't create"
You made a mistake, comrade, because
That is also a Russian genius,
But not Tolstoy - Turgenev
Ivan Sergeich wrote to Mum

Yes, also a Russian genius,
But not Tolstoy - Turgenev
Ivan Sergeich wrote to Mum

The car brought the briefcase home
The comrade with the briefcase is not himself
Mechanically put on my pajamas
I ate and watched TV

And he thought at his desk
What is, nevertheless, darkness all around
Turgenev, if wrote to Mumu
That is a monument to Tolstoy
That is a monument to Tolstoy
That monument to Tolstoy, why?

Why then Tolstoy
And why Tolstoy
Why would he then? And why
