Текст песни Антон Духовской - Старая Ладога

Staraya Ladoga

There is silence here. The air smells like alfalfa.
A small knot in a plexus of roads.
Forgotten wilderness. Only small church
Reminds you that there is God.

If a tourist stops by for a short time -
It is unlikely that he will stay here for the night.
Here's to you, grandmother, Old Ladoga!
Here, grandfather, Prophetic Oleg ...

The rain spreads over the water in rings.
This is not a downpour. And so - grace ...
And - not a soul ... Only visiting schoolgirls
Something in the albums is in a hurry to draw.

Morning light is painted with white paint.
Ocher - a clay river bank.
Black paint - fragile boat,
That the fishermen have long forgotten.

Dear girls, be careful
In this land of ancient lands.
More than ever - knead diligently
In the raindrops you are your watercolor.

Be diligent - and maybe it will come true
My secret plan for this day:
Please draw the schoolgirls
Paint any in the picture of me.

Let it not look like, let it be a small dot.
In a wet landscape - a funny silhouette.
It so happened that we want to leave
In the memory of someone at least a small trace.

Old Ladoga. Rain. Bell tower.
After me - they will save my life
Along with the picture, visiting schoolgirls.
I will remain a point on the shore ...

This is not enough! Thank you schoolgirls!
I will remain a point on the shore ...
