| What kind of house is silent
 | 
| Immersed in darkness
 | 
| On seven dashing
 | 
| blowing winds,
 | 
| All windows
 | 
| Turning into a ravine
 | 
| And the gates
 | 
| On the road?
 | 
| Oh, I'm tired, tired, and unharnessed the horses.
 | 
| Hey, somebody alive, come out, help!
 | 
| Nobody, just a shadow
 | 
| flashed in the passage,
 | 
| Yes, the vulture descended and narrowed the circles.
 | 
| How do you enter the house
 | 
| Anyway, in a tavern,
 | 
| And the people -
 | 
| Every third person is an enemy.
 | 
| Turn the cheekbone
 | 
| Uninvited guest!
 | 
| Image in the corner -
 | 
| And those are skewed.
 | 
| And a vague, wonderful conversation started,
 | 
| Someone groaned a song and tormented a guitar,
 | 
| And the epileptic fellow is a moron and a thief -
 | 
| He secretly showed me a knife from under the tablecloth.
 | 
| "Who will answer me -
 | 
| What kind of house is this
 | 
| Why in darkness
 | 
| How is the plague barracks?
 | 
| The light of the lamps went out,
 | 
| Air poured out...
 | 
| Ali live with you
 | 
| Have you forgotten how?
 | 
| Your doors are wide open, and your soul is locked up.
 | 
| Who is the master here? - I would give him wine to drink.
 | 
| And in response to me:
 | 
| "Looks like you were on the road for a long time -
 | 
| And I forgot people - we always live like this!
 | 
| We eat grass
 | 
| Century - on sorrel,
 | 
| Sour souls,
 | 
| pimpled,
 | 
| Yes, even wine
 | 
| Had a lot of fun -
 | 
| Ravaged the house
 | 
| They fought, they hung themselves."
 | 
| “I killed the horses, I rode away from the wolves.
 | 
| Show me the edge where it is light from the lamps.
 | 
| Show me the place I'm looking for
 | 
| Where they sing and not moan, where the floor is not sloping."
 | 
| "About such houses
 | 
| We didn't hear
 | 
| Long live in the dark
 | 
| We got used to it.
 | 
| From time immemorial we
 | 
| In evil and whisper,
 | 
| Under the icons
 | 
| In black soot."
 | 
| And from the stench, where images hang askew,
 | 
| I drove my head out of my head, throwing the whip,
 | 
| Where the horses carried and looked eyes,
 | 
| And where people live, and how people live.
 | 
| ... How many have sunk
 | 
| how much has subsided!
 | 
| Life threw me - did not throw me.
 | 
| Maybe I sang about you clumsily,
 | 
| Black eyes, white tablecloth?! |
