Текст песни
Yes, you remember
You certainly remember
The way I listened
Standing at the wall
As you walked to and fro about the chamber
Reproving me
With bitter words and all
You said
That it was time we’d parted
And that my reckless life
For you, was an ordeal
And it was time a new life you had started
While I was fated
To go rolling downhill
My love!
You didn’t care for me, no doubt
You weren’t aware of the fact that I
Was like a ruined horse, amidst the crowd
Spurred by a dashing rider, flashing by
You didn’t know
That I was all a-smoke
And in my life, turned wholly upside-down
I was in misery, downhearted, broke
Because I didn’t see which way we were bound
When face to face
We cannot see the face
We should step back for better observation
For when the ocean boils and wails
The ship is in a sorry situation
The world is but a ship!
But all at once
Someone, in search of better life and glory
Has turned it, gracefully, taking his chance
Into the hub of storm and flurry
Well, which of us
On board a mighty boat
Has never brawled nor barfed nor fallen down?
There are not many of them that will not
Despair when they’re about to drown
Me, too
To loud hue and cry
But knowing well what I was doing
Went down to the hold where I
Might keep away from scenes of spewing
Hold was a Russian pub
Where I
Drank, listening to the loud bicker
I tried to stop my worries by
Just drowning myself in liquor
My love!
I worried you, oh my!
Your tired eyes revealed dejection
I didn’t hide from you that I
Had spent my life in altercation
You didn’t know
That I was all a-smoke
And in my life, turned wholly upside-down
I was in misery, downhearted, broke
Because I didn’t see
Which way we were bound
Now many years have passed
I’m not so young today
I do not feel the same, and I have new ideas
And here at festive table I will say
Long live the one who’s at the steers!
Today I
Seized by tender feelings so
Recall your wistfulness, and I am happy
To tell you straight, for you to know
About what I was
And what has happened!
My love
I’m glad to tell you that
I have escaped a bad descent, an’
Today I’m in the Soviet land
A staunch supporter and defender
I’m not the man
I used to be
I wouldn’t hurt you now
The way I did So silly!
And I would follow Labour, feeling free
As far as English Channel, really
Forgive me please
I know that you have changed
You live with an intelligent
Good husband
You don’t need all this fuss and all this pledge
And you don’t need me either, such a hazard
Live as you do
Lead by your lucky star
Under the tent of fern, if there’s any
My best regards
You’re always on my mind, you are
Yours, faithfully
