lyrics

Какой большой ветер
Напал на наш остров!
С домишек сдул крыши,
Как с молока - пену,
И если гвоздь к дому
Пригнать концом острым,
Без молотка, сразу,
Он сам войдет в стену.

А шквал унес в море
Десятка два шлюпок,
А рыбакам - горе, -
Не раскурить трубок,
А раскурить надо,
Да вот зажечь спичку -
Как на лету взглядом
Остановить птичку.

Какой большой ветер!
Ох! Какой вихрь!
А ты глядишь нежно,
А ты сидишь тихо,
И никакой силой
Тебя нельзя стронуть:
Скорей Нептун слезет
Со своего трона.

Какой большой ветер
Напал на наш остров!
С домов сорвал крыши,
Как с молока - пену...
И если гвоздь к дому
Пригнать концом острым,
Без молотка, сразу,
Он сам уйдет в стену.

Сломал ветлу ветер,
С домов сорвал крыши
А ты глядишь нежно,
А ты сидишь тихо,
И никакой силой
Тебя нельзя стронуть

( слова: Новелла Матвеева -"Ветер" )
______________________________

what a huge wind
has come to our island!
it blew all the roofs away
like foam from milk
and if you take a nail
and put it in the wall
it would easily pierce that wall
without a hammer

the squall took a dozen of boats
and blew them far out to sea
the fishermen grieve
they can't smoke their pipes
but they need to smoke
though lighting a match
is now the same thing
as stopping a bird with a glance
as it flies

what a huge wind!
oh! what a whirlwind!
and you look tenderly
and you sit quietly
and there is no force
that can move you
it's more likely that Neptune
will get off his throne

what a huge wind
has come to our island!
it blew all the roofs away
like foam from milk
and if you take a nail
and put it to the wall
it would pierce that wall
without a hammer

the wind has broken the willow
it tore the roofs from houses
and you look tenderly
and you sit quietly
and there is no force
that can ever move you

(words: Novella Matveyeva - "The Wind")
