Текст песни Иван Коваль - Мироповорот

Words by Peter Khomyakov
(from the novel "The Turn of the World", Moscow, 2005)
Muses Ivan Koval

I dreamed of distant lands and countries
About the seas and islands of the unknown,
I once dreamed of becoming a captain
And become famous in legends and songs.

I got out of dangerous situations
Burst from the grip of the ocean
I'm in taverns, not wasting words in vain
Poured rum and vodka into glasses.

And I once dreamed of becoming a commander,
I was in battles and brutal attacks.
Here is the faded sun through the smoke shining
And we are on campaigns and in deep breakthroughs.

And we sat on the cards at night,
And there, in the distance, a reflection of fires rushed about.
We conferred and counted for hours
The directions of our main strikes.

And now I'm on a dirty bus
I'm in a hurry to work. It is getting light ...
And I live in a terrible state
Only something is missing me so much.

I will go into my apartment empty
I’ll fill glasses with rum and vodka.
The sea of ​​life! I drink for the soul of the sea
The captain choked in him.

After all, I dreamed of distant lands and countries,
About the seas and islands of the unknown,
I once dreamed of becoming a captain ...
And become famous in legends and songs.

After all, I once dreamed of becoming a captain ...
But the earth holds me tight in my arms ...
