LYRICS OF THE SONG "GOODBYE MISHA" BY Nikolai Dobronravov

ENGLISH:

The stadium stands are getting quiet
Time of miracles is melting away.
Farewell to you, our tender Misha,
Go back home to your wood of fairy tales.
Dont be sad, give a smile before the parting,
And recall these good days, please recall
Wish us all the fulfillment of wishes,
Wish a new meeting soon to us all.


So lets wish lots of luck to each other,
Lets wish kindness and love with no end,
Bright and clear echo of the Olympics
Will forever be cherished and sang.
Farewell to you, Moscow, farewell,
Farewell, the Olympic fairy tale,
Wish us all the fulfillment of wishes,
Wish a new meeting soon to us all.

chorus:
Friends are coming apart,
Tenderness stays in the heart
We shall cherish the song.
Farewell, we shall meet again.

RUSSIAN:

На трибунах становится тише
Тает быстрое время чудес.
До свиданья, наш ласковый Миша,
Возвращайся в свой сказочный лес.
Не грусти, улыбнись на прощанье,
Вспоминай эти дни, вспоминай
Пожелай исполненья желаний,
Новой встречи нам всем пожелай.

Пожелаем друг другу успеха,
И добра, и любви без конца
Олимпийское звонкое эхо
Остаётся в стихах и в сердцах.
До свиданья, Москва, до свиданья!
Олимпийская сказка, прощай!
Пожелай исполненья желаний,
Новой встречи друзьям пожелай.

Припев:
Расстаются друзья.
Остаётся в сердце нежность
Будем песню беречь.
До свиданья, до новых встреч.

[palifiko]

это была лучшая олимпиада

[briangross]

it's a shame that US President Carter boycotted these Olympics... Olympics shouldn't be a political tool... They look beautiful.

Was the mayor of Los Angeles (at that time I think it was Tom Bradley) in Moscow for the "handover"? That must have been an awkward moment for him.

[Nezumil]

Господи, какие у всех лица замечательные, как они смотят Мишке вслед!

[SkinoReturns]

He flew up at sky and became the guard of russia against nuclear weapons and such :P

[DimitriusCCCP]

до сих пор слезу вышибает

[petrowsb]

Though,I was two years old at that time , I was crying, when I've seen this movie, I'm proud that I was born in USSR. I agree that they say nothing like this will repeat again.

[Pedrofrombrazil]

Oh childhood memories back! I cried so much when Mischa cried and went away. And even now I feel tears coming when I see this. Mixed feelings come: sadness (Mischa was gone away) and happiness (my childhood). Best mascot of all times! Thx Russia!!!

Как же хочется тАм побывать.
