1 - My name's Anatoli (6 mn 23) Preamble

Anna Viktorovna Borodine
Untamable rebel, you fascinate me
You captivated me
Anna, charming Anna
How you charmed me
How you enchanted me
Anna, loving Anna
How I loved you,
How I have lov'd you.

It was too late
And I had not got it
I was so late
You paid the price, the price
But I was a bastard
I can still hear your cry.

My boots squeak in the snow, I walk at a resign’d pace
I walk the boulevard, the town is quiet in the early evening
The wind is icy, although it's only autumn
And I don't feel the cold, but I turn up my collar.

I am Anatoli Mikhaïlovitch Lipovsky
I'm called Tolik, I'm twenty-five
Yes but I feel as if I had had several lives
I've been a worker, a soldier, a farmer.

As soon as everything collapses, I collapse
But the second after, I’m reborn.

The falling, heavy snow flakes coat the old Petrograd
It’s at the street’s corner that I stop walking and meet all my comrades
There's still not a lot, a lot of us
So far there is no noise, no gunshot, no cry, no blood.

I was born in the small village of Kotovski
Thirty miles north of Novgorod
And this is where I was conquered soul and body
She spiced up my life, she was my electrode

As soon as everything collapses, I collapse
But the second after, I’m reborn.

Anna Viktorovna Borodine
Untamable rebel, you fascinate me
You captivated me
Anna, charming Anna
How you charmed me
How you enchanted me
Anna, loving Anna
How I loved you,
How I have lov'd you.

But it was another time, it was yesterday before... the … war.
