Lyrics
Father, take that chalice away from me Father, take that chalice away from me Father, take that chalice away from me Blood red wine Father, take that chalice away from me Father, take that chalice away from me Father, take that chalice away from me Blood red wine How to drink this bitter drink Swallow the pain, swallow the toil Even with the mouth shut, the chest remains Silence in the city is not heard What good is it for me to be a son of a saint It would bе better to be anothеr's child Another less dead reality So much lies, so much brute force Father, take that chalice away from me Father, take that chalice away from me Father, take that chalice away from me Blood red wine Father, take that chalice away from me Father, take that chalice away from me Father, take that chalice away from me Blood red wine How hard it is to wake up in silence If in the dead of night I hurt myself I want to launch an inhuman cry Which is a way to be heard This silence all stuns me Stunned, I remain attentive In the bleachers for any time Watch the monster emerge from the pond Father, take that chalice away from me Father, take that chalice away from me Father, take that chalice away from me Blood red wine Father, take that chalice away from me Father, take that chalice away from me Father, take that chalice away from me Blood red wine The pig is too fat, it can no longer walk (Shut up!) The knife is not used much anymore How hard it is, father, to open the door (Shut up!) That word stuck in the throat This homerous pileque in the world What's the use of goodwill? Even if the chest is silent, the head remains Of drunks in the city center Father, take that chalice away from me Father, take that chalice away from me Father, take that chalice away from me Blood red wine Maybe the world is not small (Shut up!) Nor is life a fait accompli (Shut up!) I want to invent my own sin (Shut up!) I want to die of my own poison (Dad! Shut up!) I want to lose your head for good (Shut up!) My head losing your mind (Shut up!) I want to smell diesel smoke (Shut up!) Get drunk until someone forgets me
