Ди Курцман - Другая жизнь
текст песни

When it gets completely dark in the room
That's the problem with all the white light
I remember that somewhere nearby on Obvodny
lives a man who always
Does such strange things
day after day he makes something out of something
Either from wood or from felt
from some strange fabric
LEDs
silver wire

What is the name of this artifact?
I can’t remember, for the life of me, at least you help me
What's interesting: they always go in great demand
in children and also in their parents
I saw them in the nursery, in the kitchen, on the neck
they even put it in your pocket like an amulet
Friends were leaving in the middle of summer
they took a cat from the house and this

I remember - I'm sitting on his couch again
in two thousand and twenty two, in a fog
And I'm on telegram
and he's trying something
melts solder
busy with wood and wire
busy with your, oh Lord, LEDs
Yes, are you aware that there is a war going on, mon ami
Don't remember what year it is
Don't read the news
Who needs your crafts now?
Who will come and pick them up?

He answers
and as if not for me
repeats something that has already been said
Of course yes, I read. Yes, I'm looking out the window
I'll count to three
On the fourth the war comes
Once you see it, you notice it everywhere
in bed, on the mast, in the crow's nest
And then I sit down at the table
unfolding the drawings

there is another life

There is another life
There is and she's right there
Don't forget your topic
When that time comes
When the ice breaks
When February falls
When February falls

There is another life
open to all directions
Where the letters of the alphabet don't shy away from zed
where they don’t stare at their neighbor
and a rocket falling from the sky on a house
your trouble is not your victory

There is another life
There is and she's right there
Don't forget your topic
When that time comes
When the ice breaks
When February falls
When February falls

... That’s why there, on Obvodny, they don’t give up
And the master makes these funny things
Made of wood, LEDs, wire, as they say
He believes that all this will be worn
That the heart will not be afraid
Will pass through the valley of the shadow of death
In the next episode it will be like a bird, like Kenny
I'll remember what they're called, don't be angry
There is another life

There is another life
There is and she's right there
Don't forget your topic
When that time comes
When the ice breaks
When February falls
When February falls
