[Verse 1]
Deep in your arm, deep in your leg,
a sleepy little vein begins to beg,
low pressure river, dark and slow,
carrying tired blood where it needs to go.
Every small vein is a tributary here,
feeding a bigger stream, crystal clear —
tributary means a smaller flow
that joins the big one, then lets go.
[Chorus]
Vein, vena cava, right atrium's call,
Тристулковий клапан — swing open the wall,
Right ventricle waits, кровь идёт домой,
Vein to cava to atrium, follow the loop, boy.
Very Careful Aunts Take Vodka home,
that's the trail your blood cells roam!
[Verse 2]
From your head and arms, superior flows on down,
from your legs and gut, inferior wears the crown,
two great rivers meeting, one glowing confluence bright,
confluence — where two waters merge into one site.
Both cavas pour through the atrium's door,
that quiet chamber, that welcoming shore,
right atrium fills, a waiting room small,
серце чекає, feels the call.
[Chorus]
Vein, vena cava, right atrium's call,
Тристулковий клапан — swing open the wall,
Right ventricle waits, кровь идёт домой,
Vein to cava to atrium, follow the loop, boy.
Very Careful Aunts Take Vodka home,
that's the trail your blood cells roam!
[Verse 3]
Right atrium squeezes, gives one gentle nudge,
wakes the tricuspid, won't let it budge —
three little flaps, like petals sewn tight,
tricuspid valve opens, blood takes flight.
One-way traffic, no going back,
straight to right ventricle, staying on track,
клапан закрився, the door shuts fast,
so the blood keeps moving, never stuck in the past.
[Verse 4]
Picture the heart as a small quiet house,
right atrium's the porch, still as a mouse,
vena cava's the pathway, long and wide,
carrying tired blood safely inside.
Superior comes down from arms and head,
inferior climbs up from legs instead,
they meet at the door in one steady stream,
filling the atrium, living the dream,
дім для крові, тепле гніздо,
where the journey home finds its due.
[Bridge]
Right ventricle, the muscle drum,
gathers its strength for what's to come,
soon it'll pump this blood to breathe,
but that's a chapter we still weave.
Серце — це насос, не забувай,
кровь возвращается, чтобы дышать,
vein to cava, cava to chamber small,
tricuspid opens, answers the call.
[Chorus]
Vein, vena cava, right atrium's call,
Тристулковий клапан — swing open the wall,
Right ventricle waits, кровь идёт домой,
Vein to cava to atrium, follow the loop, boy.
Very Careful Aunts Take Vodka home,
that's the trail your blood cells roam!
[Outro]
Vein... cava... atrium... valve... ventricle too,
the loop keeps looping, carrying you,
петля крові, round and round —
right side finished, homeward bound.
