Текст песни Сборная Союза - А было время

I sit in a decent car,
I'm wearing a serious coat
I'm going to the city to wander around the shops.
I'm ironed and shaved
The traffic police does not slow me down,
I live by the rules, we repair everything, all the order.

On a Sunday morning quiet and smooth,
And in the central market, look,
No tramps and no cap is visible.
Everything, as in Europe, to her God,
Changing the time of people
The incredible in Russia is obvious.

Etc. And there was time outside the window
The authorities spat on the law
And we sat as we were told.
The millstone was running
People burned like firewood
And Ulyanov shone on rubles, aka Lenin.

I remember the names of the kings
And the nicknames of the secretaries general
I read literature in the camps,
And I realized that my people
Fire and water, everything will pass
A fanatic does not break his nature.

I walk the streets of the country
The bridges behind me burned
The spiral of times does not lead to the earth, but to heaven.
And I wish myself
And good people on earth
Appreciate a drop of water and a crust of bread.
