There is life in the old dog yet,
and the page of life is not finished:
reason still serves me flawlessly,
friendly with facts, with logic, with memory -
the lightning flashes in him of illumination!
The decrepitude of the body is close to the border -
the nose doesn’t smell well and the sounds are getting duller -
But now is not the time to be foolish,
there's still gunpowder!
The heart of the spring is filled with passion,
the soul yearns for freedom like a bird,
destroy the wall of familiar life -
it seems to her that all happiness is outside...
Old age is nothing, I don’t want to put up with it -
there's still gunpowder!
Evseev V.
The sixth decade has arrived,
The hour of sobering up has arrived.
What did I exchange moments for?
What did you find, what did you lose?
Where he won, where he lost.
But there is a question and it is complicated.
Where should testosterone go?
Ready for my beloved every hour
The last one to give away the stock,
But again it does not dry out.
Chorus:
There is life in the old dog yet!
There are also berries in the buttocks!
There is still strength and has not mowed down
Old fighter!
Friends have long since calmed down.
We started gardening at the dacha.
I'm the only one left the bad one
Such an uncaught burbot,
As before, we won’t shake you.
I'll tell you this guys -
Giving up is not something you can do.
Let's go as before, me and you
Let's suck in our bellies
And we will float up from the bottom of the river.
Chorus:
There is still gunpowder - so let's shoot!
There is still money - so let's take a walk!
There are more songs - so let’s sing them to the end!
Kuras Valery
We are still capable of intrigue,
Without breaking the axis of life, -
Just don’t need to see in every fig
A book I couldn't read...
There is still gunpowder in the flasks -
The shot is only better with a blank.
Life was not easy to turn out -
With figs of three fingers...
Samuilov Evgeniy
They called me an old nag,
And even though I have many years,
But it’s buried in the dacha -
Machine gun and pistol.
INCREDIBLE
Well, Grandma, well done!
Youth plays in it!
Even with bags in hand
The ball doesn't pass!
And how much enthusiasm there is in her
And football passion!
She will also win
Woe and misfortune!
Galunenko Svetlana
How many songs are still unwritten?
Say, cuckoo, sing.
Should I live in the city or on the outskirts,
Should I lie down like a stone or burn like a star?
A star.
My sun - look at me
And if there is gunpowder, give it fire.
Like this…
Who will follow the lonely trail?
Strong and brave
Their heads were laid down in the field in battle.
Few remain in fond memory,
In a sober mind and with a firm hand in formation,
In service.
My sun - look at me
My hand turned into a fist
And if there is gunpowder, give it fire.
Like this…
Where are you now, free will?
Who are you with now?
Are you greeting a gentle sunrise? Answer.
It's good with you, but bad without you,
Patient head and shoulders under the whip,
Under the whip.
My sun - look at me
My hand turned into a fist
And if there is gunpowder, give it fire.
Like this…
There is life in the old dog yet
From the story (chapter 9) “Taras Bulba” (1842) by N. V. Gogol (1809-1852):
“- What, gentlemen? - said Taras, calling out to the kuren (kuren is the main military unit in the Zaporozhye Cossack army. - Comp.). - Is there still gunpowder in the flasks? Has the Cossack strength yet weakened? Are the Cossacks bending?
- There is still, dad, gunpowder in the flasks. The Cossack strength has not yet weakened; The Cossacks haven’t given in yet!”
Allegorically: about the ability to accomplish a lot more; about good health, good health or great potential of a person capable of many significant things, although those around him no longer expect this from him (jokingly ironic).

This catchphrase is known to everyone from N. Gogol’s story “Taras Bulba”, and with his light hand it entered into our everyday life.
Meaning.
It means that in a person there is hidden a huge potential of his abilities, a reserve of mental and physical strength, courage and courage are still preserved, he is eager to fight (ready to finish what he started), looks his best (relative to well-being), there is will and zeal, there is still resources and energy seething.
Of course, this is a slightly ironic expression, but it has deep implications.
History of origin.
Gogol himself, of course, did not come up with this expression, but finding the roots of its origin is not difficult.
Apparently, it dates back to the times when the success of military or hunting depended on the readiness of military weapons. And in particular, from the replenishment of gunpowder supplies and its quality. After all, they used to use ramrod guns, and if you ran out of gunpowder, then they were of little use.
And gunpowder was stored in special powder flasks - vessels, boxes, eggplants made of leather, metal, wood or bone (horn).
Powder flasks existed until the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries.

The sixth decade has arrived,
The hour of sobering up has arrived.
What did I exchange moments for?
What did you find, what did you lose?

Ready for my beloved every hour
The last one to give away the stock,
But again it does not dry out.

But again, it does not dry out.

And vsplyvem up from the bottom of the river.
