Ф. В. Гинзбург Teacher s song Песня учителей

"Teacher's song" (может исполняться на мелодию песни "Надежда" Александры Пахмутовой).
One more day is coming to an end, And we feel that our eyes are heavy.
But we take on tiredness firm stand - Don't surrender, trying to be steady.
Work with our children's like a feat. Every time we do it undefeated.
Our job is life we wish to lead, And despondency is not admitted!

Refrain: School is our compass in life! Our pain and hope and happiness.
                But soul doesn't want any calm, it doesn't accept any tiredness.

Every teacher has a poet's soul, School will never make a teacher weep.
Though sometimes we don't have private life, Insult interferes with asleep.
We posses the strength of mind and heart, That to our children is presented.
And what's very flattering is that. They've been loving us and understanding.

Though sometimes to do all things unable We are, doubts are gnawing every day,
And with damned multiplication table. Striving to throw everything away,
But we cannot live without children. And the job is not a punishment.
Bring up only educated people, That is our calling every day.
