АЛЕКСЕЙ СТЕПАНОВ - Рим
текст песни

I didn't grow up in the heart of the capital
But somewhere on the outskirts of the province
Where it pours from the ceiling and down the walls
There the clouds were called gangrene
But this east is very distant
I see it as a flame in the bedroom
When I think of my mother
They gave me peace
I want to forget everything in the world
Except this third planet
Because on this planet is Rome
Every temple, a thousand-year-old stone
Smiles purely like children
It's as if we're on first-name terms with the world
A baby's steps are a miracle
I hope there won't be the last
Although understanding my captivity
I laugh like my friend Gwynplaine
Rome and Peace have three letters
But they are written by different hands
He who reads from right to left
Will understand what Rome is
I want to forget everything in the world
Except this third planet
Because on this planet is Rome
Every temple, a thousand-year-old stone
Smiles purely like children
It's as if we're on first-name terms with the world You say
I haven't been sad for a long time
On the contrary, I'm desperately happy
And I share the air of the planet
With those I love
Time flies under sail
Memento Mori thunders in my head
I run and rush onto the Titanic
I was lucky to win a ticket
I want to forget everything in the world
Except this third planet
Because on this planet is Rome
Every temple, a thousand-year-old stone
They smile purely like children
It's as if we're on first-name terms with the world
