Текст песни И. Аллегрова и И. Николаев - Старый знакомый

If I really wanted to,
would you be mine, my dear.
If you really wanted to,
I would become yours, my dear.
But I do not know,
and you don’t want to -
so we will while away
these days and nights.
So we will pass
these days and nights.

And everything could be different
All life could go differently
and much more to each other
you and I could give!
And everything could be different ...
But you are my good old friend
you are just a good old friend!
What else do you call?

Old friend.

If you really wanted to,
songs would be just an excuse.
If I really wanted to ...
Oh my god, happiness is not in songs!

But I do not know,
and you don’t want to -
so we will while away
these days and nights.

And everything could be different
All life could go differently
and much more to each other
you and I could give!
And everything could be different ...
But you are my good old friend
you are just a good old friend!
What else do you call?
 
Old friend!
