Текст песни Борис Гребенщиков Аквариум - Иван Бодхидхарма

Ivan Bodhidharma moves from the south
On the wings of spring;
He drinks from the river
In which there was ice.
He holds geography in his hands
All our rooms
Apartments and passions;
And the white tiger is silent
And the blue dragon sings;
He will heal those who hear
And maybe those who are smart;
And he will tell those who want to know everything
The history of bright times.

He moves past buildings in which
Strive to avoid fate;
It is lighter than smoke;
Through plastic and tin
Ivan Bodhidharma is inclined to see trees
Where we tend to see pillars;
And if it became brighter
Then, apparently, he is already here;
He will heal those who hear
And maybe those who are smart;
And he will tell those who want to know everything
The history of bright times.
