Вера Матвеева - Жираф - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

Everything passes, they say

the scoffers lie, believe me:

everything will probably leave us

but he will leave a treasure in his soul.

And on it is a stone of sorrow, -

don't turn me back, don't call -

light wings of love

the winds rang.

It's sad, but for now,

my golden-haired giraffe

I listen to the sounds of spring, -

autumn is very far away.

The flame of the mane - the gaze goes blind -

burns out in the middle of the desert;

I lit it and I know

that she didn’t light it for herself.

But burn, burn, my torch,

for whom does it really matter...

Can you light me up at the same time?

everything that the night hides in darkness.

And when you leave too,

let it spill - for God's sake! -

on a pitch black road

the red ray of a crazy star.

I wrote it when I learned to play the guitar properly. She has a name, she is called "Giraffe". I didn't want anything. At first I didn’t even know what would happen. The last verse just popped into my head. It arose because we once met someone to celebrate his birthday, and on the way, a good friend read Zabolotsky to me. I don’t remember anything, of course, except that “a quiet current from bowl A passes into bowl B.” These are the last words. But the size shocked me to the core, because I immediately gave out the last verse. About myself, of course, I didn’t tell anyone that I was going to write a song. Yes, I probably didn’t intend to.

And then I kept thinking: “What is it like to write for this last verse?” And I wrote "Giraffe". At first it was not called anything. What I later had an association with is that Salvador Dali simply has such a painting. It's called "Giraffe". There is some kind of clayey, scorched desert, all in cracks, some unimaginable animals, and on the horizon there is a giraffe, far, far away, his mane is blazing like a torch. The giraffe is scary, but the fact that it has a mane like a torch is very beautiful. This giraffe also appeared to me suddenly. Then I decided that this song would be a parody of the hit song, a joke. But, in my opinion, the joke didn’t work either. Although I still love the song.
