Verse 1 Olya Polyakova:
Tell me how could I not love you?
And do not recognize your crazy eyes
It's so easy for me to swim against the current of the sea
When your love opened the sails

Chorus:
I threw all my doubts away
Believed your hands
The ice broke when you touched me
And shot to kill
Sent straight to the clouds

Verse 2 Olya Polyakova:
Tell me, why does the night walk in the evenings?
And the morning begins without your hands
When you find the answer, I'll give it all to you
And even the heart, what was for two
I've been looking for you for so long, my hero
Closing my eyes without noticing the others
For kilometers I recognize your voice
I have known him for a long time from the days of the past
One was noted and forever remembered

Chorus:
The ice broke when you touched me
I threw all my doubts away
Believed your hands
The ice broke when you touched me
And shot to kill
Sent straight to the clouds

Additional Information

1. Phraseologism Lavra to reap

Phraseologism "Laurels to reap" (Reap laurels, laurel wreath, crown with laurels, rest on laurels, laurels of Miltiada, laurels of Herostratus). Here are how many different expressions owe their existence to that modest tree, the leaves of which our mistresses calmly put in a saucepan "for taste"!

The Greeks had a myth. Not wanting to become the wife of the god Apollo, the nymph Daphne, fleeing from him, turned into a laurel tree. Since then, this evergreen has become the tree of Apollo, the god of poetry and the arts. The winners were crowned with laurel branches and laurel wreaths, first in poetry and music, and then in sports. Then the same honors began to be given for military exploits. "Reaping laurels" has come to mean: gaining success; "To rest on our laurels" - to stop striving for further success, to calm down on what has already been achieved.

When the general Miltiades defeated the Persians at Marathon in 490 BC. e., another famous Greek, the proud Themistocles, said with envy: "The laurels of Miltiada do not give me rest." This phrase became winged; it is now being applied to other people as well.

The expression "laurels of Herostratus" is used in the meaning: black, villainous glory. A certain Herostratus, an ambitious person who decided to become famous by all means, burned down the magnificent temple of the goddess Artemis in Ephesus.

59. Phraseologism Webbing to pull

Phraseologism"Pull the webbing" used in the sense - to do heavy monotonous work for a long time. The expression goes back to the speech of barge haulers on Russian navigable rivers. The ships went downstream, and horses or barge haulers were used to lift them up, against the current. The owner of the ship hired an artel of barge haulers and they pulled the ships against the current by a rope - a string. The rope was attached to a mast or a specially mounted six. The barge haulers threw the straps attached to the line over their shoulders and walked along the shore or in shallow water near the shore, dragging ships or barges along with them. The shoulder strap is a wide belt made of leather or durable fabric that is slung over the shoulder for pulling or carrying loads. Phraseologism "Pull the webbing" is a catch phrase.

61. Phraseologism Leo is recognized by its claws

Phraseologism"A lion is recognized by its claws"... A.S. Pushkin has an evil epigram entitled in latin words: "Ex ungue leonem". The literal translation seems strange: "Lion - on the claw." How to understand this?

The poem says that Pushkin published some poisonous poems without a signature. Immediately a certain "magazine jester" wrote an "article" about them, also unsigned. Both wanted to hide their names, and both failed:

... Neither me nor the market jester
Failed to cover up their mischief:
He recognized me by the claws in a minute,
I recognized him just by the ears.

The hint is pretty clear: the poet has lion's claws, the critic has donkey ears. Pushkin used here an old Roman proverb, which in translation into Russian reads: "Leo, they recognize by its claws." The Romans tended to express themselves as briefly as possible: they discarded everything unnecessary from the proverb, leaving only the essentials. It turned out: "Lion - on the claw." This saying of theirs lives on in our days. It closely coincides with the Russian "One can see a bird in flight" - that is, it is easy to recognize a person by the very nature of his words and actions, no matter how hidden. Phraseologism "A lion is recognized by its claws" is a catch phrase.

62. Phraseologism The lion's share

Phraseologism"The lion's share"... In the Krylov fable "A Lion Fishing", the animals jointly organize a round-up and hunt for a deer. There are four participants: a dog, a wolf, a fox and a lion. But when dividing the prey, the lion distributes four parts as follows:

“This part is mine under the contract;
This one, like Leo, belongs to me without dispute;
This one is for me because I am stronger than everyone;
And to this little of you only who will stretch out a paw,
He will not get up from his place alive. "

From this fable it is clear what the "lion's share" is. Well, did this expression appear in the works of I.A.Krylov?

It turns out that this is not entirely true. We find similar fables in literally every major fabulist of all nations.

Aesop's Lion, Fox and Donkey opens this series, followed by La Fontaine's Heifer, Goat and Sheep in Collaboration with the Lion, Tredyakovsky's Lion, Heifer, Goat and Sheep, Sumarokov's two fables and Chemnitzer's Lion Divide. What does it mean? Apparently, the topic of injustice of powerful and powerful people has occupied the world so long and firmly that it never ceases to be new. "The lion's share" is a very ancient and deeply popular expression. Phraseologism "Lion's share" is a catch phrase.
