Текст песни Владимир Васильев - Сыну

Swing, there will be blizzards and rain,
Of course, they will open and wash the windows.
There will be, beyond speculation, horror and trembling.
They will hide it. Substitute. An eye for an eye.

The drink is prompted. Trouble. And wine.
Guilt will be imputed. And they will let go. - Battle.
You, like Orpheus, beware of the maenads.
It's absurd for me to stay. Defeat.

Learn the courage to live and endure.
The enemy is your teacher. A friend is intelligence.
Your name is your face. Henceforth and now.
(Don't flatter yourself to gain respect.)

Learn the miracle of grief - don't burn out.
Come on, go. Through the buzzing and burning.
Create truth and conscience. Don't play!
With God! Don't be afraid to appear blissful.
