Текст песни
The stars were fading fast o'er Divnogorsk heights
As I drove my hatchback through the neon lights
Thermic tea beside me, crackers in a bag
Chasing after pike while the morning started to lag
I rolled down to Shumikha where the mountain river roars
Into that quiet bay, away from city chores
The mist was thick and heavy, like a ghost upon the lake
Hiding all the secrets for the early morning's sake
I pumped my boat in shadows as the shoreline came to view
Rowed into the reeds where the heavy lilies grew
Started casting lures near the logs and fallen trees
Sharing morning hunger with the pike and with the breeze
I felt the water's silence, waiting for the strike
Looking for a monster, or at least a decent pike
It was a doe, a forest deer, with eyes like pools of night
Grace in every muscle, dancing in the light
We were bound together in a circle, strange and still
On that lonely shoreline, by the spirits of the hill
She walked down to the water, she didn't fear my soul
In that mystic hour where the world is soft and whole
I laid my spinning rod right down upon my knee
Watching as the miracle was looking back at me
She drank with noble stillness, listening to the world
Turning her head slowly as the morning mist unfurled
I was just a shadow, a witness to the scene
Not a foe or hunter, just a man who'd seen a queen
I thought she'd bolt in terror, vanish in a blur
But she arched her back with pride and let me look at her
She turned her head to look at me, a kiss upon the wind
A goodbye from the beauty where the sacred woods begin
I watched her fading footsteps where the secret trails lead
A magic sort of story that no city man can read
A real woman
Proud in every turn
Independent graceful
And honest to the bone
You won't find her in the ledgers or the money that we earn
She’s the kind that walks in dreams and in the woods alone
My net is empty now, the pike is still at bay
But I pulled the oars with a smile on my face today
In Shumikha’s waters, I won the grandest prize
I’m headed home with starlight reflected in my eyes
The Krasnoyarsk sea was whispering Believe in what you saw
I'll carry this forever, with a sense of holy awe
I won't forget that princess, I won't forget that day
Her noble, wild beauty is here with me to stay
