Every day is graduation day. |
Every hour is a demobilization.
|
Only yesterday - a cradle, today hops, a tapestry.
|
There is a blizzard in my head, not a single ruble.
|
I became pensive just like Vrubel's demon.
|
But there was a purgel, drops of mother's tears.
|
Cat Leopold, and Gulliver, and Caramel.
|
Gouache, watercolor, and papa's chanel;
|
When did I manage to fall into the gap with a penny?
|
We will live - we will not die, but we will die - what can we think?
|
There are "wooden suits" after every December.
|
We will live - we will not die, but we will die - what can we think?
|
You were a hard cracker, you will become a bun without raisins.
|
Someday money and power will run out!
|
Chorus:
|
Was how smart Solomon was or was stupid -
|
You are just steam over soup!
|
Even if you are spinning with a triple sheepskin coat -
|
You are just steam over soup!
|
Your house is a palace or a serf in the slums -
|
You are just steam over soup!
|
They won't help here after the pass over the corpse -
|
You are just steam over soup!
|
Here Kali-yuga, under the skin ink if the needle.
|
Is your shepherd of souls Caligula, Psalter or blasphemy?
|
All the dirt has been licked out, and there will be dust and ash.
|
Bodies naked, to the bones, to the ground!
|
And the bells will be silent, the cauldrons will be domes for you.
|
Who is in the hoyazev - a goat. |
Who has two wings behind his back!
|
What does the cabal know, what do the mirrors hide?
|
Absolute junk - total broom!
|
We will live - we will not die, but we will die - what can we think?
|
Here, under every street lamp, moneybags ask for change.
|
We will live - we will not die, but we will die - what can we think!
|
He was a cheerful bullfinch, became a gloomy crow.
|
Someday the joy and pain will end!
|
Chorus:
|
Was how smart Solomon was or was stupid -
|
You are just steam over soup!
|
Even if you are spinning with a triple sheepskin coat -
|
You are just steam over soup!
|
Your house is a palace or a serf in the slums -
|
You are just steam over soup!
|
They won't help here after the pass over the corpse -
|
You are just steam over soup!
|
You are just steam over soup!
|
You are just steam over soup!
|
You are just steam over soup!
|
You are just steam over soup!
|
You are just steam over soup!
|
You are just steam over soup!
|
You are just steam over soup!
|
You are just steam over soup!
|
Someday the joy and pain will end!
|
Was how smart Solomon was or was stupid -
|
You are just steam over soup!
|
Even if you are spinning with a triple sheepskin coat -
|
You are just steam over soup!
|
Your house is a palace or a serf in the slums -
|
You are just steam over soup!
|
They won't help here after the pass over the corpse -
|
You are just steam over soup! |
