Просто Шансон и не только

[Instrumental] [Verse 1] He doesn’t even have a wife! What wife could there be, if he’s only twenty years old, and all around there’s war? He grew up in that war, never having ill will towards people, and a bullet - a bastard - got him in Chechnya from around the corner. [Chorus:] There was a boy - and now he’s gone! Without him, spring is on the earth! And hats off, and drink to the bottom - for that boy! [Verse] He wrote to his mother like this - you know everything yourself - how many times God has saved me! - until the next letter! And he fell instead of us! The little one was twenty years old! There is truth, but this time God hesitated, and the sniper did not. [Chorus:] There was a boy - and now he’s gone! Without him, spring is on the earth! And hats off, and drink to the bottom - for that boy! There was a boy - and now he’s gone! Without him, spring is on the earth! And hats off, and drink to the bottom - for that boy! There was a boy - and now he’s gone! Without him, spring is on the earth! And hats off, and drink to the bottom - for that boy! [Solo guitar] There was a boy - and now he’s gone! And hats off, and drink to the bottom - for that boy! Bright memory to such boys, AMEN! [Ending]
