Текст песни Борис Циммерман - Степан

Wormwood and feather grass,
Yes okayemov far.
Emelya the guide
And the blind kobzar

To a deaf tavern
We got along at midnight
Guests them
The vodka was brought up.

You tell me, kobzar,
How was it in the old days?
Pull the strings
Hit them.

You were the light
There is a story to tell.
And the kobzar said:
"There is no issue from Don."

I'll tell you, well,
Yes, I will say, not a lie,
To the bone
I was shivering

How evil fled
From Cossack bullets
As Azov stood,
Yes, Istanbul trembled.

This is how it used to be
On the Holy Don.
But the White Tsar said:
"I'll take a full don."

So that the slave trembled,
Yes, the pan would be fat,
So that from the chain - into the coffin,
But Stepan came!

Saddled a horse
Yes, I burned it with whips.
The king said: "Give it back!"
And Stepan: "take it!"

Speak Moscow!
The word is you, I am two
The whole world is grass to me!
Blaze, grass!

You are Cossacks, no?
Checkers bald
To have fun
Throat on the glass.

Udaltsov to his camp
Collected by Stepan.
Whoever was dead was asleep.
And they let him fall.

The eagle flew
Yes to the crow
And sprinkled with a feather
In all directions.

The sabers plowed
They sowed blood.
And trouble arose
On the Don land.

Crow beat
Yes of that eagle
Taking off my head
They drank from the throat.

Today is the quiet Don
Salty from blood.
Who was strong here
Rotting in the field.

I smell the gallows
Don carries to the sea ...
At the door of the archers,
And the kobzar sings:

- I was born blind
But I saw the light
As Stepan said,
There is no issue from Don.

They took a kobzar,
Yes, they carried it to the river.
Kobzar was drowned
In the quiet Don.

Nine days guide
Throwing the net
I was looking for a kobzar,
Yes, all nine days in vain.

Emelyan wilted,
Yes, I did not see the light.
And Yaik said:
"There is no issue from Don."
