Спасибо! Спасибо! Goodbye [Spoken: Billy Joel & Oleg Smirnoff] I have a feeling that what's going on in your country right now Is very much like the sixties У меня вот такое чувство, что… то, что сейчас происходит здесь, в вашей стране, — это примерно тоже самое, что происходило в штатах в шестидесятых годах This song has been going around and around in my head since I've been here С тех пор, как я в Советском Союзе, эта песня всё время у меня звучит в голове
