Текст песни В.Высоцкий - Ты идешь по кромке ледника

Concert in DC "Jubilee" (Ivanteevka, Moscow region., January 23, 1976)

(To the top)

In Memory of Michael Hergiani

You walk along the edge of the glacier,
A look without taking from the top.
Mountain sleep, breathing clouds
Exhaling avalanches.

But they do not reduce your eyes -
As if you promised peace,
Cautioning whenever
Rockfalls and grin cracks.

Mountains know - they came trouble ...
Smoke sucked passes.
You are not different from back then
From explosions rock falls.

If you ask for help -
Loud echoing cliffs.
The wind carried the gorges
Echo Mountain, as the radio signals.

And when was the battle for the pass,
To you has not seen the enemy,
Each stone breasts covered,
Rocks themselves tripped up his shoulders!

Lies that clever in the mountain will not go!
You went to - you did not believe the rumors.
And granite softening and melting ice,
And the fog crept down at his feet.

If ever you are in the eternal snow
Lie down - over you as over friends,
The slope of the mountain ranges
The most durable in the world obelisk!
The slope of the mountain ranges
The most durable in the world obelisk!
