Simple Song (Простая Песня)

 

Once upon a time you and I

Living on the edge of July

Your car’s steering wheel broken down

Playing the game of life, yes, we were living life

 

But I get in the last train car.

You’re a dream, and I lose it all

Remember how we skipped across rocks

You in your daddy’s jeans, how far away it seems!

 

REFRAIN (2x):

This is a simple song.

So that everyone thaws.

So the boys in the yards

Play it on the guitar.

 

Dates and anniversaries pass

Each of them just to you I grant

How old is that building now

Where 200 winters, the air unbearable.

 

Stylish, dark, and narrow hallway

Here we shared our water and faith

Celebrated weddings of brides

At one of them, it’s true, I stumbled into you

 

REFRAIN

 

Just like birds, we keep on flying back here

Not wanting anything to change

Stacking up a pile of the years

And now the time has come, where I can share the tale

 

Of how once upon a time, you and I

Were living on the edge of July

Your car’s steering wheel broken down

Playing the game of life. Yes, we were just playing life!

 

REFRAIN
