Young, hungry, thin, pale as a toadstool
|
Somewhere in the Taganka region, a gypsy woman said:
|
“I see that you were a youngster in a government house
|
And the one you loved didn't wait
|
I see that from childhood I hated the authorities
|
Father died where there is snow, frost
|
The saw screeches, the mother drank herself"
|
Young, hungry, thin, pale as a toadstool
|
Somewhere in the Taganka region, a gypsy told a fortune
|
Happiness, wife, children, house, a full bowl, but warned:
|
“There is a choice - do not rush, decide:
|
Live modestly, law-abidingly, long
|
Or risk, excitement, luck and at any moment
|
Everything can break into pieces"
|
The card will fall as it is told
|
And no matter what people decide, everything will be as it will be
|
The card will fall as it is told
|
And no matter what people decide, everything will be as it will be
|
There is always excitement, not always luck
|
Am I right, Mr. Chief Master?
|
Fell into a stupor, sweat on his forehead
|
Point-blank look. |
"Well, what are you, old man?"
|
Whispered to himself in reproach
|
Over the green cloth betting
|
Thoroughbred bitches, house, auto
|
Hiding fear, betrayal of servants
|
Those who fed by hand. |
And you, Brutus, brother, friend
|
The player hit the snare
|
Without strength I remembered how I started like this
|
A table swam before my eyes
|
Wife, daughter, son, I lost you
|
And laid down his life
|
I gave the word, now answer
|
Do not turn back the hands on the dial
|
Even though you tear all the veins
|
The card will fall as it is told
|
And no matter what people decide, everything will be as it will be
|
The card will fall as it is told
|
And no matter what people decide, everything will be as it will be
|
On the neck collar, lips tear the bit
|
Demons, demons pull into the pool
|
Dear man, tell me why the birds are silent
|
Dogs howling, who's being buried today?
|
The card will fall as it is told
|
And no matter what people decide, everything will be as it will be
|
The card will fall as it is told
|
And no matter what people decide, everything will be as it will be |
