Текст песни Братья Жигновские - Колымская песня

Kolyma song
(Poems - Anatoly Zhigulin, 1976, Muses - M. Zhignovsky, 1992)

I will go one to those snowy cliffs,
Where we once had long been under the convoy.
I will go alone so that you have not searched for me again
I will go to the Kolyma River alone.

I will go there not in the prison car
And not in the trunk is deaf, not in steel shackles.
I will fly there, as if swan in the diamond crown -
On the sparkling "TU" in gold clouds.

A quarter of a century passed, and nature is still the same -
Summer spans behind the hill of the curve.
Only something slightly lacks in the familiar landscape -
It is there, on the mountain, it is not worth the clock.

I will see the mine for the elapsed Barak,
Where the blue vine is raised.
And the soul, as then, will overflow pain and darkness,
And from heaven will fall like a rain, a tear.

I will go there not in the prison car
And not in the trunk is deaf, not in steel shackles.
I will fly there, like a swan, in a diamond crown -
On the sparkling "TU" in gold clouds ...
