Текст песни ВИА УПИ РТФ - В первый раз на целину

For the first time on the virgin land
(V. Samoilov A. Shorokhov V. Nesterov SSO 'Impulse') 1987

How nice - summer has come
I'm going on a long journey.
Full backpack, mom in tears
She can't help but cry.
And today for the hundredth time
I hear her order:
’The main thing is sleep, more food
And beware, don't drink raw water! '

All we have here is rest and work,
And time flies like a bird.
Became wider in the shoulders before our eyes
And no complaints about appetite.
But more than once, not twice
In my mother's letters, the words:
’Don’t catch a cold, don’t get poisoned
And remember that the sun is insidious. '

How beautiful virgin soil is
How much she gives us!
It's just a pity that these paints won't fit in the envelope.
No rest for mom in summer
And again, some advice
In return.

Dust and rain are all behind
And I'm on the threshold of the house.
But why, I don't understand
Does my family not recognize me?
Even my beloved dog
Asks a dumb question -
I've grown up, I've grown so much
And his face looks like a negro.
