To Mom
For half a year I haven't had a fight or been rude to the stuff,Doing time in the juvie,1 making wishes for parole.
And now here it is, why, I didn't ask for it, at such a heavy price,
I'd better serve another time, I'd wait,
I'd wait as long as it would take, I could stand as much as needed,
Just not to see those wire lines and understand
That I was just a tiny little late, that I didn't make it,
And I will never hear any more 'My dear son, hello!'
Chorus:
To mom, to mom, to my dear mom
The 'Murmansk-Moscow' train is taking me to
To my darling mom, to the most beautiful one
To the one who will say to me tender words.
I'm coming to say sorry I used to run away from home,
And when you yelled at drunk Dad, I'd always take his side,
And I used to be rude raising my voice in return to your reproches.
Sorry you were getting called into school day by day.
At times I'd come with my face bandaged, at times with a broken leg or an arm,
Sometimes I'd come all covered with gunpowder burns.
And then some day, my friend Alyoshka picked up a key from under someone else's doormat...
Didn't you ask me not to hang out with him?
To mom, to mom, to my dear mom
The 'Murmansk-Moscow' train is taking me to
To my darling mom, to the most beautiful one
To the one who will say to me tender words.
To mom, to mom, to my dear mom
The 'Murmansk-Moscow' train is taking me to
To my darling mom, to the most beautiful one
To the one who will say to me tender words.
When I was called into the warden's office
And the wire was put on the desk, at first I didn't get,
The release2 and a train ticket were there too.
It was July but my release was due in February.
Why, I'd wait till February, I could stand another year, five, whatever,
Just not to see those wire lines and understand
That I was just a tiny little late, that I didn't make it.
And I will never hear any more 'My dear son, hello!'
To mom, to mom, to my dear mom
The 'Murmansk-Moscow' train is taking me to
To my darling mom, to the most beautiful one
To the one who will say to me tender words.
To the one who will say to me tender words.
