Lyrics Александр Ф. Скляр - Песни моряков

Seamen's songs

(Alexander F. Sklyar)
    Gm
Do you remember how long it all began
I was barefoot and young then
    C
We lived rebellious, we spat on all the rules
   F Gm
And you said - I will go with you, I will go with you ...

        C
   But the days run and the years go round in a fashion
          F D #
   And we go to the seas again
        G # F
   Someone's faces flicker, boundaries blur.
                            Gm
   And women all go to mothers ...

           C B
      We are going to sea again
                               Gm
      And women all go to mothers ...

You became my friend, wild and elastic
You greedily drank the blood of your spring
But spring is replaced by summer, you did not think about it
And I forgot to translate the clock, your clock ...

   And the days are shorter and the nights are longer
   A night for sailors and poems
   You began to move away, to wake up less and less
   To hear the songs of sailors ...

      We are going to sea again
      And all the women go to the anchor ...

      We are going to sea again
      And the women all leave ... The women all leave ...

          G # Gm
         Songs of sailors, foreign countries ...
          B f
         The songs of the sailors, the other blood ...
          G # Gm
         Songs of the sailors about the oceans ...
          B f
         Songs of sailors for sailors ... For sailors ... For sailors ...

You know, I have long wanted to say this.
But I could not find the right words
How difficult it is for sailors, how difficult it is for poets to live
And how much strength is needed for love, these very forces ...

   But days and years go by and nations change
   And we go to the seas again
   And you need to hurry, around all those same faces
   And women all go to mothers ...

      We are going to sea again
      And women all go to mothers ...

      We are going to sea again
      And the women all leave ... The women all leave ...
