Текст песни Александр Градский - Жил-был я - Д. Тухманов, С. Кирсанов

LINE IN BRACKETS

   There was - I.
(Is it worth it?)
   The storm hit at a pier.
(I was young and nice ...)
   In the port of sailing fleet.
(With a winning ticket
   I had lived.)
I remember that he lived.

   Heat, rain, thunder.
(Wet boulevards ...)
   Night. Light eyes.
(Lock of his shoulder ...)
   We walked all night.
(Leaves terminated ...)
   "We", "you", "I"
gently babbling.

   I knew salt tears
(Void bed ...)
   White night
(Heart without heat) -
   quenched as gas,
   the city was deserted.
(Sight without eyes,
   without glass windows).

   Where is the snow?
(How sliding skis!)
   Where's the beach?
(With golden sand!)
   Where is the forest?
(With a whisper - "close".)
   Where is the rain?
( "Together, barefoot!")

   Stand up. Throw sleep.
(Do not look, do not ...)
   Sleep is not a life.
(Dreamed and forgotten).
   Sleep moss
in ancient colonnades.
   (Once upon a time I was ...)
He remembered that he lived.
