Song for my girls

Inspired by this important stage in my life – graduating from university – I have written a text to the melody of Hanson “I Will Come To You” dedicated to university professors, lecturers and teachers, and certainly to my fellow-students. This song was originally aimed at being sung at the Last Bell Party in April. We were all first announced that each group should prepare a performance, and we decided that it should be a song. But when everything was ready, we got to know that a united performance was already been rehearsed by the representatives of different groups. The song did not fit in the general scenario, and it was settled that we would sing it at the Farewell Party in June. However it never came to be heard by anyone except Ox ‘coz no one finally wanted to rehearse anything as usual. Maybe at that moment I felt a bit disappointed and sad for the wasted pains, but nothing’s ever done in vain. I can at least put it hear :)

It’s for you girls – Giffie Ox, Mila, Krech, Novich, Renata, Alice-the-Raccoon, Huha, Lena, Anya, Katemich - and for all our fellow-students from groups 452a, 452b, 453, 454a, 454b and those German- and French Department guys who can understand these English lines :)))

We Will Never Forget

Though we strode through misfortune
And found some many things to torture
We will never forget university time
Though course papers were annoying
Our private life alloying
We will never forget university time

Sometimes we were in despair
Failing an exam
And said, “Profs do not care
Who I really am”.
But there is sense in every movement
It results in your improvement
Time will go, and we will know
What it was for

Even though these years weren’t easy
And at times we felt imprisoned
We will never forget university time
Though you preached, and we refused it
We were happy being students
And we’ll never forget university time

Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
We will never forget
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na

In spite of such a roads’ variety
We chose to be part of student society
Time will go, and we will know
What it was for

Even though these years weren’t easy
And at times we felt imprisoned
We will never forget university time

Looking back at times we have shared – tears and smiles
We see how much we gained in life
And though sometimes our actions hurt you
Deep in our hearts we’ve always loved you
And we won’t forget this time

Хоть легко нам не давался,
И, порой, тюрьмой казался,
Не забудем мы университет
Хоть шагали сквозь напасти,
Все же быть студентом – счастье
Не забудем мы университет
