Аквариум - Radio Silence (1989)

(Б.Гребенщиков)
D   A        Em           G
It suddenly feels like a new year
Like I'm a million miles away from here
I can see some kind of light here
Although I won't name it 

I want to talk about moonlight
I want to talk about the wild child, you know
That real wild one, dancing alone
In the middle of the whirlpool 

Spinning tales about silence
About radio silence
About some kind of asylum
In the middle of an empty field full of danger 

It's strange I don't feel like I'm a stranger
I feel like I belong here
I feel like I've been waiting for a long time
And now I can tell you some stories 

Stories about the madmen
Stories about the dream-child
You know, that real wild one
Who dance alone
In the middle of the whirlpool
And I can tell you about silence
About radio silence
About some kind of asylum
In the middle of an empty field full of danger 

If you want it

The Postcard

(Б.Гребенщиков)
A
D
This is a postcard
                            F         G
Saying I'm alright in this beautiful city 
D
This is a phone call
                    F        G
Saying, yes, I am sleeping alone here
D                  F
But the telephone lines are cut
    G           F        G
My hands can't hold the paper
 D
You are on my mind 

Nobody knows your name here,
Except when the moon is out
And then they toss in their sleep
Crying out for you to take them
But me I cannot sleep,
I cannot dream,
My heart is shattered
You are on my mind 

A
Once seven colors used to make a man blind
And now we are like birds stuck in barbed wire 

Precise, like sunrise
A child just like any other
Made of the bones of the earth
Fragile and deathless
Yes, I'm alright
I'm a church,
And I'm burning down 

You are on my mind...

The Wind

(Б.Гребенщиков)
C              E            Am
Your eyes are colored like wind
     Em            F
The Wind from the northern sea
   Em             F     G7
A wave on the sand so clear
C                    G           Em      F
Whoever got me that far must be laughing
                            Em G7
Alright, I can laugh as well 

So sweet is your touch
May I never go free
But I'm breaking away to return unbound
And I hear the sound behind my shoulder
                        Em    F     G7
Like the shape of the swan, gliding 

D                       Gm
And when the trees are bare
               B            Gm
There will be nowhere to return to
         A      B      A
But we stay, believing 

D Gm B G A       G

Your eyes are colored like wind
Bringing incredible news
I don't know if I'm ready,
Does it matter?
Whoever cut me that deep
I love you
And here I stand, transfixed
Listening to the sound of the wind

The Time

(Б.Гребенщиков)
H             F#
Sitting in a corner
G#m    D#m            E
In my castle made of single-malt and smoke
With all my friends around me
And I love them "till I choke
And I watch you dance with someone
Someone not even there
And you're simple as in sacrilege
And you are pure as in player 

Somewhere there's a point of no resistance
But we make sure there's no getting there
And we're beautiful when we're animals
But so easily scared
And I cannot even talk to you
Stricken down as a hunter to its prey
Sliding down, down this hill of glass again
And there's nothing I can say 

H   F#                 G#m E F#
I guess it's just the time
H   F#                 G#m E F#
I guess it's just the time
H   F#                 D#m
I guess it's just the time
E                            F#
And I will see you when the time is over 

Hm            E
And then the northern wind calls
Hm        E
And then curtains part
Hm            E
And then the castle wall falls
D              F#           E
And there's an arrow in my heart 

There's only one way out of prison
Which is to set your jailer free
But then, it's just another bunch of pretty words
That stand between the sailor and the sea
So forgive me, though I know you never will
Battered by your pride
And so I'm locked again within these castle walls
And you freeze alone outside 

I guess it's just the time
I guess it's just the time
I guess it's just the time
And I will see you when the time is over

Winter

(Б.Гребенщиков)
F#m           E
Now that the summer is gone
  F#m                E
Snow's on the ground
F#m             E
I sought and I found
    Hm                   D
I know what I found is true
A                     E
But the bitter gray sky
            F#m    Hm
Fades into silence
F#m       E
Only the fire is left
     D             Hm
And some say it's not enough
               F#m
To carry us through 

Days of apple bloom white
Silver and steel
Tales of webs
Spun around a careless heart
I dream of the snow-white seagulls
Crying to show me the way
But I will stay here with you
And nothing will ever come
To tear us apart 

Hm            E
Look into my eyes sister
F#m E         D
No harm will come to you
E             Hm
Look into my eyes sister
F#m E         D          E
No harm will come to you

That Voice Again

(Б.Гребенщиков)
Dm
I hear that voice again
I hear that voice again 

 Dm
Seems so simple now
 C
Now that the sky is clear
 Dm
Maybe the road was tough
 C
But at last we're here
B                C
I've nothing to hide from you
 Dm            Am
Nothing to explain
B                               Gm
Just this vision of broken wing
         Dm             A
And the raven cries in pain 

I hear that voice again
I hear that voice again 

Dm
If darkness surrounds you
             C
I'll be the fire to guard your sleep
Dm
If there's nothing to stand on
        C            Am
I will lay myself beneath your feet
B                C
I will show the world to you
          Dm                  Am
And this world will have no stain
      B
Just hold me now, hold me close
       Gm
Don't let me go
      Dm
But close your eyes
     A
And look away 

I hear that voice again

Молодые львы

(Б.Гребенщиков)
C# G# F# G#
C#       G#            F#
Когда в городе станет темно,
Когда ветер дует с Невы,
Екатерина смотрит в окно,
За окном идут молодые львы. 

C#       G#                F#
Они не знают, что значит "зима",
C#      G#           F#
Они танцуют, они свободны от наших потерь!
F#                      Fm     F#
И им нечего делать с собой сейчас,
                        G#
Они войдут, когда Екатерина откроет им дверь! 

F#     G#              C#
А что нужно молодым львам?
F#   G#              Fm F#
Что нужно молодым львам?
Когда весь мир готовится лечь к их ногам,
                       G#  C#
И им нечего делать сейчас! 

Но я не скажу им ни слова,
Я не приму этот бой, потому что это не бой.
Все равно, все, что сделано нами, останется светлым,
Все равно, все, что было моим, возьмет себе кто-то другой! 

Так вот вкус наших побед,
Вот зелень нашей травы...
Екатерина смотрит в окно,
За окном продолжают идти
Молодые львы.

Well met and thank you
I'm glad you taught me so well
It was fun being around for a while
So sad you have to stay here
Or, can you spread out your wings and fly with me... 

Out in the fields of my love
Out in the fields of my love
Out in the fields of my love

Real Slow Today

(Б.Гребенщиков)
Em         G
This is a dangerous tale
C               G  D Em
Of oxygen and flame
         G
Tale of running away
C           G  D Em
Nowhere to run
           Em
All I can see is you
Em          G                   C
Visions of water in the desert sun
  G   D
Stay... 

  G           C               G
Things gonna get real slow today
  G           C               Hm
Things gonna get real slow today
C           G
Takes one prisoner
C              G
Takes one to show him the way
C                G                 D
Then comes this lesson in natural history 

And these ladies are laughing at me
Can I join the fun?
I know I'm haunted, keeps the flame
bright
I guess I can say I'm alright
Just a burning arrow stuck in my heart
Well, anyway... 

And some people say that
We shouldn't cross this line
But there is no line
Only the sky
I want to see you smile
Want to feel us get up and fly
Shouldn't we? 

Things gonna get real slow today
Things gonna get real slow today
Takes one prisoner
Takes one to show him the way
Then comes this lesson in natural history

Mother

Em               D
This city is on fire tonight
Em     C           G            D
Sweet forest fire silent and unseen
Em             D
The sleepers awaken
G     C                G                     D
Your eyes are open I know you're smiling at me
Em                      D
Some people say you're not here anymore
Em                     C
But your trees stand proud
G              D
And laugh and let them pass
    Em              D
So mischievous and holy
G               C            G            D
And this is a question I'll never want to ask 

G          D                      Em           C
There's a moon out there and she wants to be growing
G          D                       Em                      C
There's a river down here and she wants to go back to the sea
G           D
I am your child, mother
Em         C
Crying to be consoled
G       D           G
I recognize you now
        C            G
Do you recognize me? 

There's a part of me that wants to be silent
Immersed in your movement
Stung by your grace
And here is your song, and I'll sing it
I'm coming home
I've never been away 

There's a moon out there and she wants to be growing
There's a river down here and she wants to go back to the sea 

I am your child, mother
Crying for you to console me
Now that I know you
Do you recognize me? 

There's a moon out here and she wants to be growing
Here's a river down here and she wants to go back to the sea
I am your child, mother
Crying to be consoled
Now that I know you
Recognize me!

Китай

(А.Вертинский - Н.Гумилев) 
               Dm                 G       C
И вот мне приснилось что сердце мое не болит
         Dm         G         Dm       G7
Оно колокольчик фарфоровый в желтом Китае
    Am               G       F         C
На пагоде пестрой висит и тихонько звенит
            C        F       Dm     G
В эмалевом небе дразня журавлиные стаи 

И кроткая девушка в платье из красных шелков
Где золотом вышиты осы, цветы и драконы
С поджатыми ножками тихо без мысли, без слов
Внимательно слушает тихие-тихие звоны
