Микаэл Таривердиев - Чернобыль - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

M. Tariverdiev (continued see the description of the second part "quo vadis?"):

"We are going towards the station. There are early autumn. The trees are covered with gold and a crimson. Purely whirled huts, huge uncleaning pumpkins in the gardens near the neat village houses. Somewhere the windows were opened, as if someone lives in these houses. Children's toys in Palisadors. And silence. Some kind of abnormal silence. I can’t understand at first why it is like that. Then I understand: the birds are silent. They are simply not. Absolutely empty, huge sky. The roadsides covered with plastic. Inscriptions: "Attention: radioactivity!" Armored personnel carriers with people in protective masks raced towards us. All this resembles Andrei Tarkovsky’s amazing foresight in the film Stalker. But it was no longer a film. It was life.

The sky is getting dark. Against the background of the thickening twilight, the silhouette of a destroyed reactor, almost hidden by the erected walls of the sarcophagus, appears. Strange, but there is no sense in danger. And only on the way back from the station does something strange appear, saying that there is still a danger. You just can't see it. It dissolved in warm evening air. We, like everyone, are stopped, check the degree of infection. The sensors go off and ring ...

The impression that I took out of this trip was deafening. At first, I did not even assume that it would be so strong. As if I myself became part of this zone. It was as if he had been subjected to some kind of irradiation. A new reference point has appeared in my life. I don’t know why, but what happened in Chernobyl was contacted in me with what happened to the American discharger "Challenger". Maybe because we first watched these shots from America live. In my life, there was a feeling that the end of the end of the world has come. Apocalypse today. Are you waiting for the fiery rain that will spill to the ground? Here it is. He is already coming.

I was not going to write anything about Chernobyl. In the spring of 1987, the symphony for the organ appeared in me. She came right away, entirely. I had the feeling as if I was just a receiver who caught an echo of some wave.

There are two parts in the symphony. The first is the "zone". The viscous quint, the image of the zone, appears at the very beginning and invisibly, like radiation, passes through the entire symphony. These are my impressions., There are quite a lot of specific notes. "

Written in 1987.
