Текст песни Safam — Leaving Mother Russia + аккорды для гитары
Вступление
[Verse]
Bm
They called me Anatole
A Em
In prison I did lie,
G D
My little window looked out
C Bm
On a Russian sky.
A Bm
For nearly nine long years
A Em G
Secluded and in pain
Bm G D
But all my people know
C Bm
The charges were a frame.
A Bm
See my accuser standing in the hall,
A Bm
He points his finger at us all.
G D
You now must pay the penalty
C Bm
For the crime of daring to be free.
[Chorus]
Em Bm
We are leaving Mother Russia,
Em A D Bm
We have waited far too long.
Em A Bm
We are leaving Mother Russia,
Bm A G Bm
When they come for us we’ll be gone.
[Verse]
Bm
For all those centuries
A Em
We called this land our home,
G D
We loved the Russian soil
C Bm
As much as anyone.
Bm
In countless armies
A Em
Our young boys have died for you,
G D C
But never did you call them “sons,”
Bm
You always called them “Jew”!
A Bm
We fell in battle for the Tsar,
A Bm
One hundred thousand died at Babi Yar,
G D G
And yet no monument will mark their grave,
D C Bm
Just on our passports the word “yevrai”.
Bm
I send my song of hope
A Em
To those I left behind
G D
I pray that they may know
C Bm
The freedom that is mine
Bm
For in my darkest hour
A Em
Alone inside my cell
G D
I kept the vision
C Bm
Of my home in Yisrael.
A Bm
My friends we know what silence brings,
A Bm
Another Hitler waiting in the wings,
G D
So stand up now and shout it to the sky,
C Bm
They may bring us to our knees but we’ll never die!
[Chorus]
Em Bm
We are leaving Mother Russia,
Em A D Bm
We have waited far too long.
Em A Bm
We are leaving Mother Russia,
Bm A G Bm
When they come for us we’ll be gone.
