Текст песни Владимир Ланцберг - Студенческая

Where I don’t remember - in the distant old days,
In the caves, the dark people sighed for fire.
And always curious, looking down into the night,
The primitive dreamed of stealing the fire from the stars.
The primitive dreamed of stealing the fire from the stars.

Cave constructors forgetting food and sleep,
The first simple wheel was invented.
Some kind of sucker climbed on a pebble
And instead of "mom" he said: "Long live progress!"

The semesters were long - the sun replaced the snow
And the wheel of history has come to the twentieth century.
You will not find living lizard bones in the museum -
Only the youth burning with science remained.
