Текст песни Марк Рейзен - Рассказ старого цыгана

Old man

Magic force chants
In my foggy memory
Suddenly animated vision
That light, the sad days.

And our porch nomadic
The deserts are not saved from harm,
And everywhere the fatal passion,
And the fate of no protection.

Oh, my youth quickly
Star epilepsy flashed!
But you, the time of love, passed more quickly:
Only a year I loved Mariula.

Once the waters near Cahul
We met an alien camp;
Gypsies those breaking their tents
Near our from the mountain, two nights slept together.

They left on the third night, -
And dashing young daughter,
She left them Mariula.
I slept peacefully; Dawn flashed;
I woke up, - no girlfriend!
I am looking call - and lost the trail.
Yearning, crying Zemfira,
And I started to cry! ..

Since then I fasted all the virgins of the world,
They extinguished forever my opinion.
