TRANSLATION OF THE SONG:
They did not know the new habits,
In those old days and years.
Waiting for the horses on the postal paths,
All the travelers used to sing then:
Let’s sit down before the far journey, friends,
Let the way become easy!
Come on, coachman, move on quietly
And don’t forget the song on the way!
Lots of miles and centuries passed by,
The trains run along the rails,
But on the alarming platforms of the stations
Again, out of habit, they sing:
Let’s sit down before the far journey, friends,
Let the way become easy!
Come on, driver, move on quietly
And don’t forget the song on the way!
Let the space rockets with the speed of light
Fly along the starry path now,
Before the start and without looking at it,
We’ll sing according to the old habit:
Let’s sit down before the far journey, friends,
Let the way become easy!
Come on, cosmonaut, move on quietly
And don’t forget the song on the way!
RUSSIAN LYRICS:
Тогда не знавали обычаев новых,
В те давние дни и года.
Коней ожидая на трактах почтовых,
Все путники пели тогда:
Присядем, друзья, перед дальней дорогой,
Пусть легким окажется путь!
Давай же, ямщик, потихонечку трогай
И песню в пути не забудь!
И верст, и веков пролетело немало,
Составы по рельсам бегут,
Но все ж на тревожных перронах вокзалов
Опять по привычке поют:
Присядем, друзья, перед дальней дорогой,
Пусть легким окажется путь!
Давай, машинист, потихонечку трогай
И песню в пути не забудь!
Пусть нынче ракеты со скоростью света
Проносятся звездным путем,
Мы все ж перед стартом, не глядя на это,
По старой привычке споем:
Присядем, друзья, перед дальней дорогой,
Пусть легким окажется путь!
Давай, космонавт, потихонечку трогай
И песню в пути не забудь!
