Текст песни In Red Square (Al Stewart) с переводом

It’s a shame about Stalin, the curator said

He really was one of the best

Just look at the detail on that head

Too bad to melt him down with the rest

But since they wrote him out of the history books

Nobody gives him a second look

It’s amazing how little time it took

And now he’s never gonna get his statue up in Red Square

I remember Krushchev, the old man said

He had real strength in his jaw

The setting sun would turn his skull pale red

But now they’ve packed him off to the store

He used to know how to stir things up back then

Banging his shoe on the table at the UN

He said he’d bury the west again and again

But now he’s never gonna get his statue up in Red Square

Too bad about Lenin, the old man sighed

He really had quite a run

For seventy years he was idolized

Even though he missed most of the fun

But the new revolution promised everyone cars

So they burned down the Kremlin and brought back the Tsars

Now they’re spraying blue paint over all the red stars

And he doesn’t even have his picture up in Red Square
