Leningrad
Viktor nacio en la primavera del '44 Y nunca mas vio a su padre Un ni~no de sacrifico, un ni~no de la guerra Otro hijo que nunca tenia Otro padre despues de Leningrad Se fue al colegio y aprendio a servir al estado Seguia las reglas y bebia su vodka todo recto La unica manera de vivir era hundir el odio Una vida rusa era muy triste Y asi era la vida en Leningrad Yo naci en '49 Un ni~no de la guerra fria bajo el gobierno de McCarthy Paralos en la paralela 38 Bombardea a esos rojos amarillos al infierno Y ni~nos de la guerra fria son dificiles de matar Bajo sus escritorios durante el ejercicio de ataque aerea No han escuchado que nosotros habiamos ganado Para que siguen luchando? Enviaron a Viktor a alguna ciudad de la armada roja El servio su tiempo y se hizo payaso del circo La felicidad mas grande que encontraba Era hacer feliz a los ni~nos rusos Y a los ni~nos que vivian en Leningrad Pero tambien vivian ni~nos en Levitown Y se escondieron en los refugios subterraneos Hasta que los sovietos giraron sus barcos Y bajaron sus cohetes cubanos Y en este sol de Octubre Supimos que nuestros dias de ni~nez se han acabado Y mire a mis amigos yendose a la guerra Para que siguen luchando? Y asi mi hija y yo venimos a aquel sitio Para encontrale ojo en ojo y cara en cara Hizo a mi hija reirse, despues nos abrazamos Nunca sabiamos que amigos teniamos Hasta que venimos a Leningrad
Leningrad
Viktor was born in the spring of ‘44 And never saw his father anymore A child of sacrifice, a child of war Another son who never had a father after Leningrad. Went off to school and learned to serve the state Followed the rules and drank his vodka straight The only way to live was drown the hate A Russian life was very sad And such was life in Leningrad. I was born in ‘49 A cold war kid in McCarthy time Stop ‘em at the 38th Parallel Blast those yellow reds to hell And cold war kids were hard to kill Under their desk in an air raid drill Haven’t they heard we won the war What do they keep on fighting for? Viktor was sent to some Red Army town Served out his time, became a circus clown The greatest happiness he’d ever found Was making Russian children glad And children lived in Leningrad. But children lived in Levittown And hid in the shelters underground Until the Soviets turned their ships around And tore the Cuban missiles down And in that bright October sun We knew our childhood days were done And I watched my friends go off to war What do they keep on fighting for? And so my child and I came to this place To meet him eye to eye and face to face He made my daughter laugh, then we embraced We never knew what friends we had Until we came to Leningrad.
