The meaning of the lyrics of the song ""Carroll's Song"" (Pesnya Kerrola) the performer of the song "Vladimir Vysotsky"

There's a lot that's unclear in this strange land

One could get confused and lost so easily

Even shivers run down your spine

If you imagine what could possibly be

Suddenly, there's an abyss, a leap you must take

Will you falter in fear? Or jump bravely and bold?

Huh? Eh... Well, my friend, you see

That's the point of this tale, I'm told

Good and evil in Wonderland - you'll find them like anywhere else

But only here they reside on opposite shores

Here, stories wander down different trails

And fantasies with delicate legs explore

We'll start this tale with a riddle, you see

Even Alice would hardly know the reply

What remains of a fairytale, you and me

After it's been told and bid goodbye?

Where, for instance, is the magical horn?

Where did the kind fairy take her flight?

Huh? Eh... Well, my friend, you see

That's the point of this tale, shining bright

They don't vanish, they don't dissolve away

Those told in fairytales, glimpsed in a dream

They relocate to magical Wonderland, they say

We'll meet them there, it would seem

And lastly, I wish for you to see

To always recognize me, wherever you roam

I'll be a bird in this magical country

"Dodo Bird" the children have named me as my own

Even my Alice can't comprehend

How I'll fit into a bird's form and feather

Huh? Eh... Well, my friend, you see

That's the point of this tale, in any weather

Even stranger things in Wonderland occur

There are no boundaries, no need to swim, run, or fly

Reaching it is easy, no need to concur

One can find themselves there, just by a wish and a sigh

...The tale doesn't end with a simple conclusion

Remember, we asked you at the very start:

What remains of a fairytale, an illusion?

After it's been told and captured your heart?

Maybe not everything, even after a bite

Our Alice in her dream could truly see

Huh? Eh... Well, my friend, you see

That's the point of this tale, for you and me

And if someone dares to enter again

Magical Wonderland in a beautiful, kind dream

They'll find even what seems imagined, not in vain

In their own mysterious and fairytale realm, it seems.

Много неясного в странной стране

Можно запутаться и заблудиться

Даже мурашки бегут по спине

Если представить, что может случиться

Вдруг будет пропасть и нужен прыжок

Струсишь ли сразу? Прыгнешь ли смело?

А? Э... Так-то, дружок

В этом-то все и дело

Добро и зло в стране чудес - как и везде встречается

Но только здесь они живут на разных берегах

Здесь по дорогам разным истории скитаются

И бегают фантазии на тоненьких ногах

Этот рассказ мы с загадки начнем

Даже Алиса ответит едва ли

Что остается от сказки потом

После того, как ее рассказали?

Где, например, волшебный рожок?

Добрая фея куда улетела?

А? Э... Так-то, дружок

В этом-то все и дело

Они не испаряются, они не растворяются

Рассказанные в сказке, промелькнувшие во сне

В Страну Чудес волшебную они переселяются

Мы их, конечно, встретим в этой сказочной стране.

Ну и последнее: хочется мне

Чтобы всегда меня вы узнавали,

Буду я птицей в волшебной стране

"Птица Додо" меня дети прозвали

Даже Алисе моей невдомек

Как упакуюсь я в птичее тело

А? Э... Так-то, дружок

В этом-то все и дело

И не такие странности в Стране Чудес случаются

В ней нет границ, не нужно плыть, бежать или лететь

Попасть туда не сложно, никому не запрещается,

В ней можно оказаться - стоит только захотеть

...Не обрывается сказка концом

Помнишь, тебя мы спросили вначале:

Что остается от сказки потом

После того, как ее рассказали?

Может, не все, даже съев пирожок

Наша Алиса во сне разглядела

А? Э... Так-то, дружок

В этом-то все и дело

И если кто-то снова вдруг проникнуть попытается

В Страну Чудес волшебную в красивом добром сне,

Тот даже то, что кажется, что только представляется

Найдет в своей загадочной и сказочной стране

In "Carroll's Song," Vladimir Vysotsky reflects on the nature of fairytales and their impact on us. Using the imagery of Wonderland from Lewis Carroll's works, the author argues that fairytales continue to live within us even as we grow up.

Vysotsky highlights the duality of the fairytale world, where good and evil coexist ("Good and evil in Wonderland - as everywhere you see..."). He questions what remains of a fairytale after it's been told and answers: "They don't evaporate, they don't dissolve... To a Wonderland magical they relocate." Fairytales, according to the author, don't disappear but continue to live in our imagination, in a wonderland accessible to anyone willing to believe.

Vysotsky himself associates with the Dodo bird from "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," emphasizing his belonging to this magical world and his desire to guide the listeners ("I'll be a bird in Wonderland..."). He believes that everyone can find their own Wonderland if they allow themselves to dream and believe in miracles: "It has no boundaries... It's not hard to get there... You can find yourself there - you just have to want it."

The recurring phrase "Eh? Ah... That's it, my friend, that's the whole point" is a kind of refrain that emphasizes the author's main idea: it's important not to look for literal answers and explanations, but simply to believe in the fairytale and let it captivate you.
