Lyrics and translation Чайф - Не зови

Не зови

Он судьбу себе гадал
По трамвайным номерам.
Я – не думал, он – не знал
О путях к другим мирам.
Он взлетал над этой сценой,
Поднимался на Парнас.
Оказалось, он не может
Просто быть одним из нас.
Говорили нам его не удержать.
Говорили просто надо подождать.
Не дави, тоска, на грудь мне, не дави,
Не зови назад его ты, не зови...
Тамадой собачей свадьбы
Зажигал он в "Маяке".
Для неё руками жемчуг
Мог достать в Москва-реке.
Говорили нам его не удержать.
Говорили просто надо подождать.
Не дави, тоска, на грудь мне, не дави,
Не зови назад его ты, не зови...
Он и там не заскучает,
В неизведанном краю,
И она его прощает,
Вот и я ему пою...

Don't Call

He read his fate in tramcar numbers,
Searching for answers in passing signs.
I didn't think, and he didn't know,
The paths that lead to other times.
He soared above this stage we shared,
Ascending high to Mount Parnassus' peak.
It turned out he just couldn't bear,
To be one of us, ordinary and meek.
They told us we couldn't hold him back,
They said we simply had to wait and see.
Don't press, oh longing, on my chest, don't press,
Don't call him back, my dear, don't call for me...
As the toastmaster at a canine spree,
He lit up the night at the "Mayak" bar.
For her, he'd pull pearls from the sea,
Dive into the Moskva River, no matter how far.
They told us we couldn't hold him back,
They said we simply had to wait and see.
Don't press, oh longing, on my chest, don't press,
Don't call him back, my dear, don't call for me...
He won't be bored, even there,
In that unknown and distant land.
And she forgives him, I swear,
So I sing for him, with an outstretched hand...
