Текст песни Владимир Высоцкий - Сколько я ни старался

Much as I tried,
much I wanted -
anyway , to fight,
someone was .

And though my path and long and long,
and though I deserved praise,
about me do not write the obituary
on the last page in the corner.

        But I do not regret it.

However much I tried ,
how much I tried, -
someone was ,
and I got drunk with him .

Although all bright believed
for example, in our Soviet people ,
I will not put a monument in the park
somewhere in Peter's gate.

        But I do not regret it.

Much as I tried,
much I wanted -
anyway , to fight,
someone was .

And I sing all the songs of the drama ,
all of life pickpockets .
My name is not found in advertisements
popular crooners .

        But I do not regret it.

Much as I tried,
much I wanted -
I always fall
and all the while sitting down .

And all my life I have been thrown and hurt -
probably such a fate .
Anyway, I did not minted
on the coins instead of the coat of arms .

        But I do not regret it.
