Кирилл Ривель - Дух кровоточит изнутри..., 1994
текст песни

“There, behind the river, - the sanctuary? Palace?
Where are Peter's descendants fixed? "
(Vl. Gandelsman)

The spirit is bleeding from the inside,
From a wet one gateway, -
As if with God on a bet
This city is set in the swamp
By a wave of a hand,
One tsarev’s word ...
But, all, the throne of Peter the Holy
On the banks of another river.

Donesty Nevsky, the light of advertisements - -
Although the climate is similar to the Dutch
But the hail looks like Amsterdam,
Like a summer garden for Gefsiman.
Rus' went beyond the Urals
Self -burned, shaved her face ...
And the capital rose on the bones
The earthly empire of Peter ...

The uncompromising of the ax,
Alas, from the world - not from God!
But, sin, - great Peter
Judging the descendants too strictly:
We are all forever fellow countrymen!
We are all - "The chicks of the nest of Petrov"! ..
... but, all well, the throne of Peter the Holy
On the banks of another river.

The eyelids are broken like an old house
But the face of fate is not yet clear ...
And we still live,
And the paradise is still beautiful! ..
... by scientific disputes contrary to
About the Nevsky climate harsh ...
But, all the throne of Peter the Holy
On the banks of another river.
