Текст песни Леся Бушковская - Прабабушка

I was born in Port Arthur
Father was a simple admiral.
I was a girl - I changed skirts
And I went to the ball with my mother.
I remember my gentlemen
There are none in the USSR:
Poet Myshlaevsky, Cornet Randzievsky
And Usov is a naval officer.

Chorus:
Listen to me, baby, your great-grandmother!
Here is the holy cross - I’m telling the truth!
Do you know, my angel, what life was
Under the wings of a double-headed eagle ?!

Oh, how we ate and drank
How we frolic at times!
And how masterfully he died in a duel
Petrusha, your great-grandfather!
How I cried, suffered
Almost dying with longing
And sad something with Major Black
Played four hands!

Chorus:
Listen to me, baby, your great-grandmother!
Here is the holy cross - I’m telling the truth.
Do you know, my angel, what life was
Under the wings of a double-headed eagle ?!

How many novels were there!
Yes, I don’t remember, count - don’t count!
But I remember for sure, I was in love in absentia
I’m sovereign Nikolai.
I’m sovereign Nikolai.

Chorus:
Listen to me, baby, your great-grandmother!
Here is the holy cross - I’m telling the truth!
Do you know, my angel, what life was
Under the wings of a double-headed eagle ?!

Chorus:
Listen to me, baby, your great-grandmother!
Here is the holy cross - I’m telling the truth!
Do you know, my angel, what life was
Under the wings of a two-headed
Under the wings of a double-headed eagle ?!
