Lyrics В.Высоцкий Гагарину - Я первый смерил жизнь обратным счётом

I first eyed life countdown .
I will be impartial and truthful :
First shot and then the skin
And puffed pores discharge.

I hid and lay still , and froze.
I thought I returned suddenly
In callousness airless pressure chambers
In closed loop centrifuges.

Now I become immobile and overweight
And immersed in silence , and while
Fur and horns all newspaper cousin
Inflate the case for centuries.

Slapped my memory of the whip on the nerves,
In it , each image was unique :
Here's my understudy , which could be the first
Which could become the first second .

So far, it does not spend font -
Reserve capital letters for one.
We are alone with him went all the way to the elevator ,
But then I went without him.

That's the one that drew orbit.
When I face it no one knew .
I knew he was in the bunker now closed
Throws a handful of thoughts in a sieve.

And if because of a smokescreen
Friends were individuals and families .
They all soon in the press
Tell your biography .

All of them with whom I knew good neighborhood ,
Witnesses will bring to the court .
Average mine barefoot childhood
Dressed and tablets ENTERED .

Wonderful word "Start" - Likeness cry -
Appeared and hovered over me.
Unkindly , muffled grumbled nozzle
And spat molten saliva.

And the swirl of feelings fire soul blown out ,
And I did not dare , or forgot to breathe.
Planet finally pulled ,
Pressed , not wanting to let go.

And turned into kilograms tonnes
Eyes seemed to come out of their sockets ,
And right eye first , surprise
Looked to the left , a century is not covered .

I stuffed my mouth - I do not remember - whether cry , gag know.
I grew up out of the chair , as the roots of a tree stump .
Here are gobbled up all the fuel drops
And fell off the first stage .

There, beneath me , sirens wailing ,
I do not know - burying or storing .
And here hoarsely engines howled
And pulled me from the embrace .

Facilities on the ground settled down ,
Again went to their usual spring.
My eyes back into place ,
Disappeared overload - silence.

Experiment entered into another phase .
Pulse started in less knock sensors .
I flew in the night , passing the evening , immediately
And he received the command to rest.

And it was closely voices on the air,
But Levitan burst as the gym.
He rapped loudly : "The first in the world ! "
He said good about me .

I put on a spacesuit helmet elbow
Spoke about his well-being ...
Came to this cloying ease
Even felt sick from it.

Microphone cord in a loop like striae ,
Knocked in the ribs lungs ringing .
I choked on my heart for a moment -
It stuck in my throat .

I gave a report fun, conscience ,
Legibly and very businesslike .
I thought, here it is and weightlessness
I weigh zero , so little - nothing!

But I did not know at this hour flight
Joking over weightlessness droll ,
That from it will be bloody vomiting
And wash the bone calcium in the urine ...

*

All that he was able to remember, I just listed,
Dictated on tape and even recorded .
But hovering over me disjointed thoughts
And knocked together sides of the log.

Tangible , visible , I counted a lot of thoughts ,
And small scurrying between them a little smoother ,
But weightlessness weight them somehow equalized -
There after will understand that important.

And I caught any , what came across ,
Pull her thin invisible rope .
Here first arose and immediately broken,
You're just one word : " Not guilty! "

But the word " innocent " - Does not mean " innocent " -
So in Russia has been going on with the long-standing far.
We do not draw lots - I winked happiness
And the communion of the stars party member , Major.

Between the " zero" and " start-up " someone thought
And maybe - operator fright recorded ,
I am quite cheerfully , showing off even a little,
Uninhibited and bravo " Let's go! " said.
