[Verse 1]
Right ventricle squeezes, one strong little clench,
Pressure builds up till the closed door bends,
Pushes open door number two, the pulmonary valve,
Swings wide open, no turning back, no half.
Blood was waiting, now it's on its way,
Out through the gate at the start of the day.
[Chorus]
Кровь летит, кровь летит (blood is flying, flying)
Лёгкие, лёгкие — that's where it's headed,
Нежный насос, low and slow,
Дыши со мной, let the oxygen flow,
Кровь летит, кровь летит,
Right side whispers: "gently, gently go."
[Verse 2]
Enters the pulmonary artery, splits like a T,
Right branch, left branch, off to the lungs, you see,
Right feeds the right lung, left feeds the left,
Fun fact tucked inside this vessel's chest:
It's the only artery — remember this rule —
Carrying low-oxygen blood, tired and cool.
[Chorus]
Кровь летит, кровь летит,
Лёгкие, лёгкие — that's where it's headed,
Нежный насос, low and slow,
Дыши со мной, let the oxygen flow,
Кровь летит, кровь летит,
Right side whispers: "gently, gently go."
[Verse 3]
Inside each lung the branches fork and fork again,
Smaller, thinner, till they're barely veins,
Capillaries wrap the air sacs, tiny alveoli round,
Walls diaphanous — just one cell thick — so thin, profound,
A single cell between the air and the tide,
That's how oxygen slips quietly inside.
[Verse 4]
Carbon dioxide packs its bags and leaves the stream,
You breathe it out, exhale the used-up steam,
Oxygen from the air you drew steps calmly in,
Swap complete — the loop begins again,
Гейзер вдоха — inhale like a burst,
Fills the blood up, quenches its thirst.
[Verse 5]
Now the oxygen-rich blood collects and starts to roam,
Through pulmonary veins, it finds its way back home,
Four veins converge, all rushing to reunite,
Delivering their treasure to the left atrium's light,
Funny twist of names — remember this refrain,
The only vein that carries blood so bright, so clean, so plain,
No longer tired, no longer low and slow,
Ready for the left side's mighty, powerful flow.
[Bridge]
Left side's muscle, thick and proud, built to shove,
But right side's soft — a gentle, low-pressure love,
Only pushing next door, not across the whole land,
Нежно, тихо — soft as a hand,
Low pressure pump, the lungs are so near,
No need to shout when your neighbor's right here.
[Chorus]
Кровь летит, кровь летит,
Лёгкие, лёгкие — that's where it's headed,
Нежный насос, low and slow,
Дыши со мной, let the oxygen flow,
Кровь летит, кровь летит,
Right side whispers: "gently, gently go."
[Outro]
Valve to artery, T to the lung,
Alveoli swap till the new breath's begun,
Тук-тук, слушай — the loop starts anew,
Нежный насос — that gentle pump is you.
