My friend from childhood
lives happily in a village,
Just like in a Russian novel
He has a wife and son,
He has a cellar full of wine
and everything is stable for him
Recently,
I see less and less of him
Usually only when he's celebrating something
He isn't angry because of that
He offers his hand and says "you haven't been by lately"
Ref.
Chorus.
And we remember the days
When we were still
wild like fast deer
And we were all close to truth and sadness
because we were close to the last litre
I ask him if he knows
that you left, that you left
oh, that's not so bad, he says,
She had another, you know
I ask him if he knows
that we love each other, that we still love each other
oh, you're so silly, he says
sometimes you're just a brat
My friend from childhood
looks at life stingingly,
Look at the sky and the earth, well, he's right.
I'm a damned poet
Who stands in teh rain,
Who lies and loves
But we were taught in the same hard school of life
We are sometimes far away,
But that's humanity
Everyone carries in themselves
their little Gods
Whom they pray to in secret
And that's why I return to the story some times,
of when we were fast deer,
And we were all close to truth and sorrow
because we were close to the last litre
I ask him what should I do now,
That you've left, that you've left
well, be a rascal, he says
there's plenty like her
I ask him if he knows
that we still love each other, that we still love each other
what nonesense, he mumbles
have another glass of beer, my old friend
My friend from childhood got married green,
But he was lucky, I'm not as you can see
I loved differently,
something completely empty, something completely strange
And it all seems to me,
That there's no way
to explain you to him, the one reason
I'm drowning the world in wine,
Because in a cup everything can be strange
Ref.
I ask him if he knows
That it's not important why you left
an adventure, he says
What remains of you now
it remains for me
that we loved each other, that we loved each other
maybe it's just the wine, he says
but all this becomes funny
