Waltz
G.Sviridov Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Day alone in house
A corpse of dead mouse
Trying not to scream out
No ideas for this waltz
Dancing quiet on the stage
I can't turn the page
Fighting in the same days
Asking me not to stay
Get the same paids
Keep the same ways
Beat the same fakes
Eat the same cakes
Faking in the same ways
Paying the same cakes
Clogging the same veins
Locked in the same space
I don't want this again
I'm not going home
I'm trying to complain
To my microphone
Now in the garden there's a lot of salt
And all I can see is an unpainted wall
Heartless men live happily in an empty hall
No flowers blooms, this is not a waltz
Now in the garden there's a lot of salt
And all I can see is an unpainted wall
Heartless men live happily in an empty hall
No flowers blooms, this is not a waltz
Another day alone in house
I think I screamed out loud
I didn't answer your call
But there's no ideas for this waltz
Don't try to understand me
Don't try to remember this
I have to count to ten again
This is driving me insane
Crazy in one two three
Hopeless in two four six
Driving me insane
Driving me insane
Crazy in one two three
Hopeless in two four six
Repeat this again
This is driving me insane
I don't want this again
I'm not going home
I'm trying to complain
To my microphone
Now in the garden there's a lot of salt
And all I can see is an unpainted wall
Heartless men live happily in an empty hall
No flowers blooms, this is not a waltz
Now in the garden there's a lot of salt
And all I can see is an unpainted wall
Heartless men live happily in an empty hall
No flowers blooms, this is not a waltz

Да и "Тройка", и "Зимняя дорога" тоже из той же категории.

В юности был глупым. Учился в музыкальной школе абы как. Посчастливилось работать в духовом оркестре. Потом пять лет джаза в политехническом. Год в армии в военном оркестре.

И вот практически в 30 лет поступил в институт культуры.
Не так давно опять нарвался на цикл "Метель" Свиридова. Восприятие другое, нежели в детстве.
Первые же звуки "Тройки" или "Зимней дороги" и я банальным образом не знал куда деться на работе - слезы полились из глаз ручьем...
Я дорос до такой музыки.
Слушаешь и видишь сани, поземку, всполохи метели. Ощущаешь на лице уколы снежинок, укусы мороза, радость дороги переполняет.

Только этим циклом Свиридов обрёл бессмертие! А ведь ещё есть "Время, вперёд!" Основная тема под документальную хронику тридцатых годов - это нечто!
