Михаил Бондарев - Страна Азия
текст песни

Just yesterday, we were boys, our schoolbags full of books thrown down
Chasing pigeons across attics and rooftops
We bathed in ditches, burrowed into dunes
And, in the racing clouds, we searched for horses
And we knew for sure, there is no land more beautiful
On the slopes, wandering clouds sleep
They'll get enough sleep and tomorrow they'll fly
Over the warm, magical land
Your land, my land
On the slopes, wandering clouds sleep
They dream of sunny cities
Tashkent and Dushanbe, Karaganda
This is Asia, the country of Asia
Just yesterday, we were boys, fishing rods under our arms
Fishing overnight, bream and gudgeon
Frying potatoes in the fire, and stars falling from the sky
We made our simple wishes
And we knew for sure, there is no land more beautiful
On the slopes, sleeping Wandering clouds
They'll sleep well and fly tomorrow
Over the warm, magical land
Your land, my land
Wandering clouds sleep on the slopes
They dream of sunny cities
Bishkek and Ashgabat, Kyzyl-Orda
This is Asia, the country of Asia
Wandering clouds sleep on the slopes
They'll sleep well and fly tomorrow
Over the warm, magical land
Your land, my land
Wandering clouds sleep on the slopes
They dream of sunny cities
Native Dzhambul, Shymkent, Alma-Ata
This is Asia, the country of Asia
