Сплин Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Осенью легла пыль,
Осенью угас пыл,
Солнца потускнел жар,
Осенью весь мир жаль.
Осенью весь мир жаль,
Скоро доставать шарф,
Греть вино и есть сыр
Осенью придет сын.

Осенью придет сын
Греть вино и есть сыр,
Вверх расти из всех жил,
В мире проводить жизнь.

В мире проводить жизнь
Вверх расти из всех жил
Греть вино и есть сыр
Осенью придет сын,

Осенью придет сын,
Осенью придет сын.
