Ада Якушева Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Боже мой, да это ж всё мои друзья
Сколько верст до нашей встречи, сколько лет?
Где вас снова черти носят по земле?
Друзья, мои друзья
Дорогие вы мои, друзья!
Адреса друзей я знаю наизусть
Слишком много раз судьба сводила нас
Слишком много вместе выпито вина
Друзья, мои друзья
Дорогие вы мои, друзья!
Часть имен, наверно, позабуду я
Это будут вовсе не мои друзья
Не беда, на этом ли земля стоит
Будьте вечно молоды, друзья мои!
Друзья, мои друзья
Дорогие вы мои, друзья!
