Vladimir Vysotsky "Song About A Friend"

From the soundtrack of 'Vertikal', a 1967 mountaineering film starring Vysotsky, it was one of his rare radio films (Vysotsky was banned from many film roles and public concerts for circulating songs with tackled unofficial topics)

Great translation, thank you to the person who took the time and did it in such way. You captured the essence of it better than anyone I've read so far. Bkagodariu 🙏

I dedicate this song to my best friend Sal, who is now a stranger.
the song is more figurative than literal. its about the heights in life, now how to test a friend and how to climb a mountain.

This song is very... french. their music is very humane and close to the "truth" of what music is. enjoyable.

I never ever saw a translation as good as this one. A pretty challenging song, interpreted and translated just bespoke.

Music reminds me of "Kill Bill" but I bow to it's true originality!

[@WhiteTiberium]

I bet it reminds you of it because of the whistle after the first verse.

[@robko6262]

Is there a translation of the lyrics that doesn't change them so they rhyme?

[@gentleeyes]

There is another one here that doesn't rhyme. It could be more accurate, but I'm not sure since it's not my language czcams.com/video/CZ5s4vdFhMA/video.html&ab_channel=Coffeevaccine
