Текст песни Ансамбль им. А. В. Александрова - Перед дальней дорогой

Then we never knew the customs of new,
In those early days and years.
Horses waiting at the mail paths,
All the pilgrims sang then:
Sit down, my friends, before a long journey,
Let the light will go!
Come on, the driver, quietly touch
And the song in a way, do not forget!
And miles and flew many centuries,
The compositions of the running rails,
But all the alarming station platforms
Again, the old-fashioned sing:
Sit down, my friends, before a long journey,
Let the light will go!
Come on driver, quietly touch
And the song in a way, do not forget!
Let now the rocket speed of light
Sweeps through the star!
We all are to start without looking at it,
Again, the old-fashioned sing:
Sit down, my friends, before a long journey,
Let the light will go!
Come cosmonaut quietly touch
And the song in a way, do not forget!
