Текст песни Валерий Леонтьев - Августин

A-vgu-augustine,
Augusti-i-i-n!
Ah, a man in a black frock coat,
With a watch on my hand
Goes from century to century.
It goes in the rain and in the snow,
Watching through the clouds:
Where, where the centuries flow,
Where are the centuries flowing?

He walks down the main street
Cities in the evening.
At an hour when there is nothing special to do
He walks, sliding on the ice.
He twists the handle,
Three gypsies are dancing nearby
The hurdy-gurdy is hissing so
The hurdy-gurdy is so wheezing
The old motive cannot be recognized.

[Chorus:]
Oh my darling, darling, darling
Augustine,
Augustine,
Augustine.
Oh my darling, darling, darling
Augustine
Everything that was, everything has passed.
Oh my darling darling darling
Augustine, Augustine, Augustine
We must, must live, my dear Augustine,
To the delight of people and enemies out of spite.

And half of the city follows him
Towns, towns.
Yes, half of the city follows him in a crowd,
Despite the cold.
The clouds are flying like sleighs
He twists the handle
What a simple motive
Such a simple motive
That you will never forget.

[Chorus:]
Oh my darling, darling, darling
Augustine,
Augustine,
Augustine.
Oh my darling, darling, darling
Augustine
Everything that was, everything has passed.
Oh my darling, darling, darling
Augustine,
Augustine,
Augustine
We must, must live, my dear Augustine,
To the delight of people and enemies out of spite.

He walked down the main street
Winter city.
He got into the carriage and said: "See you soon,"
And disappeared into the darkness of the night.
Who was this Augustine
Only God knows for sure,
But all honest people, without closing their mouths,
Sings in chorus as if groovy.

[Chorus:]
Oh my darling, darling, darling
Augustine,
Augustine,
Augustine.
Oh my darling, darling, darling
Augustine
Everything that was, everything has passed.
Oh my darling, darling, darling
Augustine,
Augustine,
Augustine
We must, must live, my dear Augustine,
To the delight of people and enemies out of spite.
