Vladimir vysotsky – leaving the mountains

To the scramble of cities and the crowded streets
We return, for these places have bound us.
We descend from the conquered mountain peaks,
Leaving our hearts in the mountains.

So, I beg you, just stop all the meaningless fights!
Many times I have proven this speech,
And to me, the one thing that is better than heights,
Is the height that I haven’t yet reached!

Who would want to be left by all alone in a mix?
To descend when the heart starts to revel? –
Yet, we left from the conquered mountain peaks –
Gods, themselves, desended from heaven.

So, I beg you, just stop all the meaningless fights!
Many times I have proven this speech,
And to me, the one thing that is better than heights,
Is the height that I haven’t yet reached!

Beautiful verses in their honor were penned
And the mountains call us to stay.
For a year or forever – but we have to descend,
We must always return, either way.

So, I beg you, just stop all the meaningless fights!
Many times I have proven this speech,
And to me, the one thing that is better than heights,
Is the height that nobody has reached!
