| The artsy unevenness of the roofs flows beyond the horizon.
|
| Seventeenth Quarter. |
| Paris. |
| The umbrella shakes a little.
|
| And a French woman, serious and sweet,
|
| Hurries through the dim morning, must have overslept.
|
| And those who meet her in a narrow street,
|
| Do not guess - everyone has their own business here -
|
| She is at least a former, but a Russian subject,
|
| She is the same Muscovite as she was.
|
| The former Russian subject has a mess in the apartment,
|
| And that means something is definitely not right in the soul,
|
| But how easy her words are, and let her sleep no matter,
|
| But from the "capital" head does not hurt in the morning.
|
| And remembering the dream about the Arbat courtyards,
|
| She, like a river, is immersed in business,
|
| And despite the stupid mood
|
| She is the same Muscovite as she was.
|
| Negroes sell chestnuts in the Place de la Concourt,
|
| A snowless new year is wandering through the light bulbs.
|
| And the Parisians, thinking about their own, are in a hurry,
|
| And Christmas again together with a friend from the USA.
|
| French wine will fill festive Paris,
|
| And she will dream of Moscow as white and white.
|
| She drinks vodka like this, a Russian subject,
|
| She is the same Muscovite as she was.
|
| She is at least a former, but a Russian subject,
|
| She is the same Muscovite as she was. |
