Poems and Songs of Vladimir Vysotsky. The Messenger.

Text.

Commentary to the song “The Navigator Single”.

As the epigraph to this song, there can be used the words of Porphyry Ivanov, peace be upon him, which he wrote about himself: “He does not follow our path and behaves himself in life differently than we do — everything points to the fact that he is not such a man as we are, all people.”

The words

“And we took a photo of the navigator, Having turned him to a photo by that”

reflect our present regard for the God of the Earth.

The song was written in 1976 for the film “The Wind of Hope” (1978).
