Текст песни Александр Городницкий - Атланты

Em Am
When the heart is heavy
  H7 Em
And cold in the chest,
                Am
To the steps of the Hermitage
    D7 G
You come to dusk,
     E7 Am
Where without drink and bread,
   D7 G
Forgotten in the centuries,
   Am Em
Atlanteans keep the sky
   H7 C
On the stone hands.
   Am Em
Atlanteans keep the sky
   H7 Em
On the stone hands.

To keep his machine
Not honey from the outside.
Their backs are strained,
The knees are collapsed.
Their hard work
More important than other works.
Of them weaken someone |
and the sky will fall. | | 2 times.

The widows will cry in the darkness,
flare up the fields,
And the mauve will turn purple,
And the Earth will end.
And the sky from year to year,
Everything presses heavier,
It shivers from the buzzing, | |
Missile ships. | | 2 times.

They are standing guys,
Turned bodies, -
Delivered once,
But the shift did not come.
Their daylight does not please,
They can not sleep at night,
Their beauty shells, | |
War is wretched. | | 2 times.

They stand for ever,
Leaning your forehead into trouble,
Not gods - people,
Accustomed to work.
And to live still hope
Until then
Atlanteans keep the sky
On the stone hands.
