Текст песни Лев Ошанин - Память

Memory has such a property -
From childhood, remembering joy by heart,
Grief - even the greatest -
Turn into muted sadness.
How to get away from an expensive grave?
How can I forget? Calm down the dull shiver
If the grief did not immediately dump,
So you will survive it.
If memory did not help us,
Did not extinguish the past in the distance, -
Having gone through everything that we have experienced,
We probably could not live.

Only, except for this our, personal,
There is another memory - the exact count
That the particles of a single life
In the tread of generations will gather.
It's counting years and counting centuries
This is what our children will remember
What our great-grandson will read in books.
And, proud of the deeds done,
Seeing our prophetic stars the lights
Pain and blood that we have experienced
They will never forget.
