Through the field, through the forest -
|
the sun is in the sky, the devil is in the puddle.
|
Over the river through the ravine
|
Ivan the Fool lives there.
|
Sleeps sweetly and drinks bitterly -
|
so year after year goes by.
|
In the sky the sun, in a glass of demon -
|
sharp knife, blunt cut.
|
So that I do not howl like a wolf from longing,
|
grandmother knitted dog socks.
|
I walked down the street, burned my legs with coals,
|
and inside it was swollen with ripe blisters
|
my young heart is stupid
|
And I listened and said: I'll go eat,
|
and I thought and decided: I'll go have a drink,
|
but he could no longer speak: I love women.
|
On someone's hut - alcohol, buckwheat,
|
in someone's arms: be silent, heart.
|
Barefoot, but by the very hat on a nail,
|
and a cluster of scars ripened behind the ribs.
|
I stomp the dust of the roads with my heel,
|
I sing my song, I burst vessels
|
and, like a grape with unwashed fingers,
|
I crush this bastard in me.
|
Saws boughs, but divides the weight -
|
the sun in the sky, the demon in the heart.
|
Weeds grew underfoot
|
Ivan the Fool ate it.
|
The veil fell from the eyes -
|
was a nobody, left with nothing.
|
Reached out to heaven
|
looking for new fools old cunning demon.
|
Will wrap you to the skin, though not a gambler,
|
and in return will leave life - worthless to her price.
|
And when the Russian plantain heals the wounds -
|
hold on to the white light, compose the path. |
