Song, words and music Maria Izvolskaya.

1. How many Mari and Irins were there in the world, -
There will be so many more who dream of HAPPINESS!
Alexander knew the wind of the sea and salt Green, -
Well, how much ASSOL: The sails are still meeting!...

Take away, Ocean, my pain to heaven! -
Anyone who has not loved more than once will not believe, does not know:
That LOVE awaits ASSOL by the seashore:
And from morning until dawn, the Captain is greeted by:

And by the seashore, - ASSOL keeps walking, -
And from morning to dawn he dreams of LOVE here!...
Somewhere in the world HER, - ASSOL is waiting by the sea, -
And the Boat of Dreams - meets you at dawn!

Chorus:

SCARLET SAILS!... - I’m waiting for you in calm and in bad weather!...

Where are you, my Captain?... - The sea! Sun! - Answer! -
In a storm, in a storm, in a hurricane, - ASSOL is waiting at dawn!

White clouds!... - Answer in the morning with the sun! -
Where is LOVE?... - From on high: the Wind will give me Hope!...

SCARLET SAILS! - In a storm, in a calm, and in bad weather:
SCARLET SAILS!... - ASSOL is waiting: YOUR HAPPINESS!...

2. Youth is our DREAM!... - Like Dawn over the sea!...
Waves, like years, circle small schools of fish,
And alone above the sea: white seagulls circling!

And LOVE is neither a lake nor a river!... -
In life, whoever has not LOVED is unlikely to know:

And LOVE is an Ocean!... - Wide!... - Deep!..
Like the sun SHE shines for all lovers!

Where are you, my Captain? - ASSOL is waiting at dawn!

3. I ask all lovers: Give the world an answer! -
Is it really true that Ship DREAMS don’t exist?...
Is there really no LOVE - Scarlet Sails? -
And only the wind and seagulls fly over the sea?...

I don't believe: LOVE - There are no Scarlet Sails! -
And over the sea only the wind and seagulls fly!
I don’t believe: like the Sea, there is no LOVE in the world! -
And only ASSOL Sails meets everything!

Chorus:

SCARLET SAILS! - Where is my Ship of HAPPINESS? -
SCARLET SAILS! - I’m waiting for you in calm and in bad weather!

Where are you, my Captain? - Sea! Sun! - Answer! -
In a storm, in a storm, in a hurricane - ASSOL is waiting at dawn!

4. In the morning on the shore - I run towards you, -
My dear Captain! - The sea knows the wind too:
In the morning all the skies are Scarlet Sails! -
And I am your ASSOL! - I'm waiting for you at dawn!

Give me LOVE! - Take away the pain, sea! -
I don't believe in LOVE - There are no sails!
And ASSOL keeps walking along the seashore:
And the BOAT OF DREAMS meets you at dawn!

Chorus:

SCARLET SAILS! - He who LOVES knows:
SCARLET SAILS! - They only happen once in a lifetime!

Where are you, my Captain? - On a clear day and in bad weather, -
In a storm, in a storm, in a hurricane - ASSOL awaits our HAPPINESS!

SCARLET SAILS! - Let the wind blow you! -
My dear Captain! - Gray! - I'm waiting at dawn!

5. How many Mari and Irins were there in the world, -
How many Anastasias, who dream of HAPPINESS!
There is only one Alexander in the world, Green! -
Well, how many ASSOL - Sails meet everything!...

"Alright sails" - an extravaganza story by Alexander Green about unshakable faith and an all-conquering, sublime dream, about how everyone can do a miracle for a loved one. Written in 1916-1922.

History of creation:

Alexander Green began making his first notes related to “Scarlet Sails” in 1916. In the drafts for the novel “Running on the Waves” (1925), the author described the first appearance of the idea for the story:

I have “Scarlet Sails” - a story about a captain and a girl. I found out how this happened quite by accident: I stopped at a display case with toys and saw a boat with a sharp sail made of white silk. This toy told me something, but I didn’t know what, then I wondered if the red sail would say more, but better than that- scarlet color, because in scarlet there is a bright glee. Rejoicing means knowing why you rejoice. And so, unfolding from this, taking in the waves and the ship with scarlet sails, I saw the purpose of his existence.

Preliminary work on “Scarlet Sails” was completed in early December 1920. Subsequently, the author repeatedly made corrections to the manuscript. Bel's autograph of the story has not survived.

The chapter “Gray” was published in the newspaper “Evening Telegraph”, No. 1 dated May 8, 1922. The entire extravaganza was published in the form of a separate book in 1923. The writer dedicated it to his second wife Nina (“Green presents and dedicates it to Nina Nikolaevna by the Author. PBG, November 23, 1922”). The story was included in all collected works of the writer.
Plot

The extravaganza tells the story of a girl, Assol, who lost her mother when she was only five months old. Assol lived in the village of Kaperna with her father, the sailor Longren. The father, a reserved and unsociable man, after retirement began making and selling toys - skillfully made models of sailing ships and steamships - to earn a living for himself and his little daughter.

The fellow countrymen were not very kind to the former sailor, especially after one incident.

Once, during a severe storm, the local shopkeeper and innkeeper Menners was carried away in his boat far out to sea. The only witness to this was Longren. He calmly smoked his pipe on the pier, watching how Menners called to him in vain. Only when it became obvious that he could no longer be saved, Longren shouted to him that in the same way his Mary asked a fellow villager for help, but did not receive it.

On the sixth day, the shopkeeper was picked up among the waves by a steamer, and before his death he spoke about the culprit of his death.

The only thing he didn’t talk about was how five years ago Longren’s wife approached him with a request to lend some money. She just gave birth to baby Assol. The birth was not easy; and almost all the money left was spent on treatment, and the husband has not yet returned from the voyage. Menners advised not to be hard to touch, then he is ready to help. The unfortunate woman went to the city in bad weather to pawn a ring, caught a cold and died of pneumonia. So Longren remained a widower with a little daughter in his arms and could no longer go to sea.

Whatever it was, the news of such demonstrative inaction by Longren struck the villagers more powerfully than if he with my own hands drowned a man. The ill will turned almost into hatred and also turned to the innocent Assol, who grew up alone with her fantasies and dreams; and as if she didn’t need either peers or friends. Her father replaced her mother, her friends, and her fellow countrymen.

One day, when Assol was eight years old, he sent her to the city with new toys, among which was a miniature yacht with scarlet silk sails. The road went through the forest. The girl lowered the boat into the stream. The stream carried him and carried him to the mouth. Assol ran after the sailing toy yacht and saw a stranger holding her boat in his hands. It was old Aigle - “a collector of songs, legends, traditions and fairy tales.” He gave the toy to Assol and told her that years would pass; and when she grows up and becomes an adult, one day a prince will sail for her on the same ship under scarlet sails and take her to a distant country...

The girl told her father about this. Unfortunately, a beggar who accidentally heard her story spread rumors about the ship and the “overseas prince” throughout Caperna. Now the children shouted after her: “Hey, hanged man! Red sails are sailing! So she became known as crazy.

Arthur Gray, the only son of a noble and wealthy family, grew up in the family castle, in an atmosphere of predetermination of every present and future step. This, however, was a boy with a very lively soul, ready to fulfill his own destiny in life. He was decisive and fearless.

The keeper of their wine cellar, Poldishok, told him that two Alicante barrels from the time of Cromwell were buried in one place; its color is darker than cherry, and it is thick, like good cream. The barrels are made of ebony; they have double copper hoops on them, on which is written: “Gray will drink me when he is in heaven.” No one has tried this wine and no one will try it. “I’ll drink it,” Gray said, stamping his foot and clenching his hand into a fist: “Paradise?” He's here!.."

Despite all this, he was extremely responsive to the misfortune of others, and his sympathy always resulted in real help.

In the castle library, he was struck by a painting by some famous marine painter. She helped him understand himself. Gray secretly left home and joined the schooner Anselm. Captain Gop was kind person, but a stern sailor. Having appreciated the intelligence, perseverance and love of the sea of ​​the young sailor, Gop decided to “make a captain out of the puppy”: introduce him to navigation, maritime law, pilotage and accounting. At the age of twenty, Gray bought the three-masted galliot Secret and sailed as captain on it for four years. Fate brought him to Liss, an hour and a half walk from which was Caperna.

With the onset of darkness, Gray and the sailor Letika, taking fishing rods, sailed on a boat in search of a suitable place for fishing. They left the boat under the cliff behind Kaperna and lit a fire. Letika went fishing, and Gray lay down by the fire. In the morning he went for a wander, when suddenly he saw Assol sleeping in the thickets. He looked at the girl who amazed him for a long time; and when leaving, he took the old ring off his finger and put it on her little finger.

Then he and Letika walked to Menners's tavern, where young Hin Menners was now in charge. He said that Assol is a local crazy woman who dreams of a prince and a ship with scarlet sails; that her father is the culprit in the death of the elder Menners and a terrible person. Gray's doubts about the veracity of this information intensified when a drunken coal miner assured that the innkeeper was lying. Gray, even without outside help, managed to understand something about this extraordinary girl. She knew life within the limits of her experience, but beyond that she saw in phenomena a meaning of a different order, making many subtle discoveries that were incomprehensible and unnecessary to the inhabitants of Kaperna.

The captain was in many ways the same himself, a little “out of this world.” He went to Liss and found scarlet silk in one of the shops, from which he ordered sails to be made. In the city, he met an old acquaintance - the traveling musician Zimmer - and asked him to come to the "Secret" with his orchestra in the evening.

The scarlet sails bewildered the team, as did the order to go to Kaperna. Nevertheless, in the morning the Secret set out under scarlet sails and by noon was already in sight of Kaperna.

Assol was shocked by the sight of a white ship under scarlet sails, from the deck of which music flowed. She rushed to the sea, where the inhabitants of Kaperna had already gathered. When Assol appeared, everyone fell silent and parted. The boat in which Gray was standing separated from the ship and headed towards the shore. After some time, Assol was already in the cabin. Everything happened as old Egle predicted.

On the same day, a barrel of hundred-year-old wine was opened, which no one had ever drunk before. The next morning the ship was already far from Kaperna, carrying away the crew defeated by Gray’s extraordinary wine. Only Zimmer was awake. He quietly played his cello and thought about happiness...
