Arkhangelsk Rock-n-Roll
OK I (Forest Secrets) · 1982 · Track 8
The city on the Dvina is known for its songs
It has surpassed all the capitals of the world
Many different melodies have sounded here
But we are going to play some rock 'n' roll
To make the sadness vanish, to drive the illness away
We're playing some glorious rock 'n' roll for you, our friends
It's like the god of fun has come to visit us
A cheerful rock 'n' roll pours into our ears like sweet honey
Many songs have sounded over the Earth
You could travel the entire world if you please
The world of songs is rich and interesting, but
You just can't find anything better than rock 'n' roll
To make the sadness vanish, to drive the illness away
We're playing some glorious rock 'n' roll for you, our friends
It's like the god of fun has come to visit us
A cheerful rock 'n' roll pours into our ears like sweet honey
It's no big deal that the store shelves are bare
We've all gotten used to this long ago
We are sustained by pure art
Books, the theater, and the cinema
To make the sadness vanish, to drive the illness away
We're playing some glorious rock 'n' roll for you, our friends
It's like the god of fun has come to visit us
A cheerful rock 'n' roll pours into our ears like sweet honey
Hey folks, let's shake our bones
Lift that heavy backside off the chair
Shake your arms and your legs
Come on, lift up your mood
To make the sadness vanish, to drive the illness away
We're playing some glorious rock 'n' roll for you, our friends
It's like the god of fun has come to visit us
A cheerful rock 'n' roll pours into our ears like sweet honey
