Смолкли звуки сладостных песен, Am F G Am Сдохли в кущах все соловьи. Dm G C Эй, Добрыня, что ж ты невесел? A7 Dm G Am Где ж, Добрыня, други твои? F C G Am Там, под блеклым небом, наверно, Их следы исчезли давно. Тяжко спит хмельная таверна, Лишь Добрыня смотрит в окно. Припев: Закрой же глаза, Am Em Хмурый мой брат, - C G Этой круглой луне все равно. Am F C G И небо во сне, но птицы не спят. Am F C G Эти птицы помнят Трансвааль, Am F C Помнят Трансвааль, G Am Помнят все и бьются в окно. F C G Am Я нашел пробитую каску, Полную опавшей хвои. В этом месте кончилась сказка - Боливар не вынес двоих. В этом месте больше не спится, Только пепел сыплет с ресниц. Улетайте, глупые птицы, Хуже нету места для птиц. И пусть за тонким абрисом лета Вас догонит где-то вдали Ржавый дым горящего вельда, Горький ветер нашей земли. Припев. Много есть причин для унынья - В паутине стрелы и лук, Hо, выйдя в тамбур, курит Добрыня, Гасит басики о каблук. Hынче мир наш весел не больно. Всяка шваль гужуется всласть. Смейтесь, гады, будьте довольны - Ваша миссия удалась. Hо знайте - мчится где-то в пустыне, Так, что звезды бьются о сталь, Синий поезд - Сивка Добрынин. Эх, страна моя - Трансвааль
It's a good question =) May be it is about ruined Transvaal, may be it is allegorically about ruined Soviet Union. That's the lyrics: The sounds of sweet songs ceased, Am F G Am All the nightingales died in the bushes. Dm G C Hey, Dobrynya, why aren't you happy? A7 Dm G Am Where are your friends, Dobrynya? F C G Am There, under the faded sky, probably, Their tracks disappeared long ago. The drunken tavern sleeps heavily, Only Dobrynya looks out the window. Chorus: Close your eyes, Am Em Frowning my brother - - C G This round moon doesn't care. Am F C G And the the sky sleeps, but the birds are don't. Am F C G These birds remember the Transvaal, Am F C Remember The Transvaal, G Am They remember everything and strike themselves to the window. F C G Am I found a broken helmet, Full of fallen needles. This is where the fairy tale ended - Bolivar couldn't carry double. In this place, you can no longer sleep, only ashes fall from your eyelashes. Fly away, silly birds, There is no worse place for birds. And let the brittle outline of summer You will catch up somewhere in the distance The rusty smoke of a burning Veld And the bitter wind of our land. Chorus ↑↑↑. There are many reasons for despondency - Arrows and bow a covered this the web, But, having left in the vestibule, Dobrynya smokes And extinguishes cigarette butts on the heel. Our world is not very cheerful now. All the trash is being pushed to its heart's content. Laugh, you bastards, be happy - Your mission has been successful. But better know this - The Blue train - Dobrynya "Sivka". Is racing somewhere in the desert - So that the stars beats in it's the steel wagons. Ah, my country is the Transvaal. Chorus ↑↑↑. Dobrynya - is a name of well known ancient Russian epic (fairy tale) hero. Great warrior. Sivka - is a name of another fairy tale personage - the magic horse What does the expression "Bolivar cannot carry double" mean?

This song is likely also a refernce to the Russian Revolution era Antonov movement (Tambov rebellion), who sang a song about Transvaal in ruins following the Boer war
That's pretty complicated question, what is about. I see the Russians think it is about ruined Soviet Union, but really it is hardly so. That song contains lot of symbols from Russian folklore, as well as some references to O. Henry works. So I think it is some allusion on participation in Second Boer War of Yevgeny Maximov - war correspondent from Russian Empire, who took the command on one of Transvaal regiments.
The sounds of sweet songs have ceased, All the nightingales died in the bushes. Hey, Dobrynya, why are you sad? Where, Dobrynya, are your friends? There, under the pale sky, probably Their traces disappeared long ago. The drunken tavern sleeps heavily, Only Dobrynya looks out the window. Chorus: Close your eyes My gloomy brother - This round moon doesn't care. And the sky is in a dream, but the birds do not sleep. These birds remember the Transvaal Remember the Transvaal They remember everything and beat out the window. I found a broken helmet Full of fallen needles. This is where the fairy tale ends. Bolivar could not bear two. No more sleeping in this place Only ashes fall from the eyelashes. Fly away you stupid birds There is no better place for birds. And let behind the fragile outline of summer You will be caught up somewhere far away The rusty smoke of the burning veld The bitter wind of our land. Chorus. There are many reasons for despondency - In a web of arrows and a bow, But, going out into the vestibule, Dobrynya smokes, Extinguishes bass on the heel. Today our world is cheerful, it doesn't hurt. Every trash guguzhutsya relish. Laugh, bastards, be happy - Your mission has been successful. But know - rushing somewhere in the desert, So that the stars beat against the steel, Blue train - Sivka Dobrynin. Oh, my country is Transvaal.
Я слышал ее еще пацаном когда по радио шла аудиокнига Капитан Сорвиголова (Луи Буссенара), перед каждой главой этой книги играла эта песня)
хорошие книги. мне про бриллианты нравилось.
Похитители бриллиантов! Увидев ее в книжной комиссионке я бредил ею, просил маму купить ее. 1990 или 1991. Да после Сорви головы" похитители самое то
буду весь день слушать

What is this song about? Asking as South African.
It's a good question =) May be it is about ruined Transvaal, may be it is allegorically about ruined Soviet Union.
That's the lyrics:
The sounds of sweet songs ceased, Am F G Am
All the nightingales died in the bushes. Dm G C
Hey, Dobrynya, why aren't you happy? A7 Dm G Am

There, under the faded sky, probably,
Their tracks disappeared long ago.
The drunken tavern sleeps heavily,
Only Dobrynya looks out the window.
Chorus:
Close your eyes, Am Em
Frowning my brother - - C G
This round moon doesn't care. Am F C G
And the the sky sleeps, but the birds are don't. Am F C G

Remember The Transvaal, G Am
They remember everything and strike themselves to the window. F C G Am
I found a broken helmet,
Full of fallen needles.
This is where the fairy tale ended -
Bolivar couldn't carry double.
In this place, you can no longer sleep,
only ashes fall from your eyelashes.
Fly away, silly birds,
There is no worse place for birds.
And let the brittle outline of summer
You will catch up somewhere in the distance
The rusty smoke of a burning Veld
And the bitter wind of our land.
Chorus ↑↑↑.
There are many reasons for despondency -
Arrows and bow a covered this the web,
But, having left in the vestibule, Dobrynya smokes
And extinguishes cigarette butts on the heel.
Our world is not very cheerful now.
All the trash is being pushed to its heart's content.
Laugh, you bastards, be happy -
Your mission has been successful.
But better know this - The Blue train - Dobrynya "Sivka".
Is racing somewhere in the desert -
So that the stars beats in it's the steel wagons.
Ah, my country is the Transvaal.

Hi my Friend! What about your situation in Transvaal now?
That's pretty complicated question, what is about. I see the Russians think it is about ruined Soviet Union, but really it is hardly so.

Where, Dobrynya, are your friends?

The drunken tavern sleeps heavily,
Only Dobrynya looks out the window.
Chorus:
Close your eyes
My gloomy brother -
This round moon doesn't care.
And the sky is in a dream, but the birds do not sleep.
These birds remember the Transvaal
Remember the Transvaal
They remember everything and beat out the window.
I found a broken helmet
Full of fallen needles.
This is where the fairy tale ends.
Bolivar could not bear two.
No more sleeping in this place
Only ashes fall from the eyelashes.
Fly away you stupid birds
There is no better place for birds.
And let behind the fragile outline of summer
You will be caught up somewhere far away
The rusty smoke of the burning veld

Oh, my country is Transvaal.
