Текст песни Эльмира Галеева - Там, в улице...

There was a house in the street,
And a steep staircase led into the darkness.
There the door was opening, clinking glass.
The light ran out - and again the darkness wandered.

There in the twilight the canopy of the door gleamed white
Under the signboard 'Flowers', attached with a bolt.
There the rumble of footsteps was lost and disappeared
On the stairs - by the light of a yellow lamp.

Up there the window looked down
Curtained by a motionless curtain
And, like a wrinkled forehead, the cornice
He gave a grimace to the wall - and gazes ...

There, in the twilight, the light trembled in the windows,
And there was singing, music and dancing.
And from the street - no words, no sounds, -
And only the glazes appeared.

Up the stairs, over the gloomy courtyard
A shadow flickered, and the lamp was barely shining.
Suddenly the door opened, clinking glass,
The light ran out - and again the darkness wandered.
