Текст песни Владимир Высоцкий - Зарыты в нашу память на века

Buried in our memory for centuries
And dates, and events, and persons,
And memory, like a well, is deep -
Try to peek: for sure
The face and that is not clearly reflected.

See what is true, what is false
Maybe only an impartial court.
Caution with the past, carefully:
Do not break the clay vessel!

Still remembered sometimes
Many phrases from war -
For example, that the sapper is wrong
Only time.

Some lazily stir him up
Others reluctantly recall
And others do not even want to remember
And the past lies like an old treasure
Which is never excavated.

And the stream of years blew from the border
Arrows are direction signs.
It's very easy to get lost in the past
And there is no way back.

That's why I still remember
From the war a couple of phrases -
For example, that the sapper is wrong
Only time.

Do not blame the raid - wait!
People have all their reasons.
Do not hide, but they want to forget,
After all, in the thickness of years still lie in the shade
And the hours are waiting for rusted mines.

Digging in the minefield of the past
Better without errors, because
What is wrong in the minefield
Just absolutely no use.

Sometimes I suddenly remember
From the war a couple of phrases -
For example, that the sapper is wrong
Only time.

One push and the arrows will run
And people’s nerves aren’t from a rope,
And there will be an explosion, and the tourniquet will fray ...
But maybe people will find it in time
And they’ll remove the detonator before the explosion.

The earth sleeps quietly under the flowers
But they still find mines in it ...
They are taken with skillful hands.
And explode further from people.

Still remembered from the war
A couple of phrases, a couple of phrases -
For example, that the sapper is wrong
Only once, only once.
