Текст песни Аркадий Северный - Я помню тот Ванинский порт

I remember that Vanino port
And the look of the steamer is gloomy,
As we walked aboard the ladder
Into the cold gloomy holds.

Not a song, but a plaintive groan
Bursting from every breast
Farewell bow to Russia
The steamer roared, struggled.

The fog was thickening over the sea
The element of the sea roared,
Stood in the way of Magadan -
The capital of the Kolyma region.

The convict moaned from the pitching,
Embracing like siblings.
And only sometimes from the tongue
Dull curses broke.

Damn you, Kolyma,
What is called the Black Planet
You will go insane -
There is no going back from here.

Our third month of scurvy
There is no more strength to work.
Nature and evil blizzard
They will take me to my grave.

I'm exhausted by hunger here
And the last strength is melting.
Blizzards will sweep me
Only a mound of the grave will be left.

Six hundred kilometers of taiga,
Where only wild beasts roam
Cars don't go there. There
Deer stumble.

And you will wait there for a long time
A letter from a distant land
Dream about meeting with your beloved
Look at the photo, counting the days.

And these days are so short
From time to time the photo will be erased,
Your whiskey will turn gray
But darling will not return to you.

You will while away your life alone
Cursing only your fate
And remember your happiness
Sighing deeply and bitterly.

Or maybe you are not expecting me
And you don't read my letters,
You won't come to meet me
And if you come, you won't know.
