Мы становимся старше и старше
Ада Якушева Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Крепче любим и дружим сильней
А друзья и знакомые наши
Вовсе нашими стали вдвойне
Грозы волосы наши полощат
Спуск обрывист, отвесен подъем
Мы становимся проще и проще
И пока беспокойство нас мучит
Вечный риск за порогом дверей
Все в порядке у нас, потому что
Стали старше мы, но не старей
Все в порядке у нас, потому что
Стали старше мы, но не старей

Мы становимся старше и старше
We are growing older and older
Крепче любим и дружим сильней
We love and become friends stronger
А друзья и знакомые наши
And our friends and acquaintances
Вовсе нашими стали вдвойне
Became doubly ours
Грозы волосы наши полощат
Stormy hair of ours flutter
Спуск обрывист, отвесен подъем
Steep descent, hanging ascent
Мы становимся проще и проще
We become simpler and simpler
В переменчивом быте своем
In our ever-changing life
И пока беспокойство нас мучит
And while anxiety tortures us
Вечный риск за порогом дверей
Eternal risk behind the doorstep
Все в порядке у нас, потому что
Everything is fine with us, because
Стали старше мы, но не старей
We have become older, but not older
Все в порядке у нас, потому что
Everything is fine with us, because
Стали старше мы, но не старей
We have become older, but not older
