| To the steppe tracts,
|
| To forest lairs
|
| Oleg's hordes were walking
|
| On a dense road.
|
| And looking at this march,
|
| In cursed impotence,
|
| Vyatichi cried in a voice,
|
| What has become of Russia!
|
| Ah, Russia, Russia -
|
| No end, no salvation!
|
| ...both the living and the dead,
|
| Everyone is silent as dumb.
|
| We, Ivan the Fourth -
|
| Place forehead in soap!
|
| Only barefoot and ugly
|
| Toothless mouth open,
|
| The holy fool cried in the church,
|
| That Russia is gone!
|
| Ah, Russey, Russia -
|
| All prophets are barefoot!
|
| Bitter sorrow labeled
|
| Our silent cries
|
| From the Petrovsky German
|
| To the Cossack's whip!
|
| Prophetic bird - C grade,
|
| Eternal shaking, damn it!
|
| Not embarrassed by a single table,
|
| You showed up, trio,
|
| Emergency in Lefortovo!
|
| Ah, Russia, Russia -
|
| Why is the alarm not fun?!
|
| Whatever the year is hard times,
|
| Whatever lies, then the Messiah!
|
| Millennium cries
|
| In Russia - Russia!
|
| Calls out curses...
|
| But try, ask -
|
| Yes, was she, brethren,
|
| Is this Russia in Russia?
|
| This one is with generous fields,
|
| This one is in lilac foam,
|
| Where they are born happy
|
| And they leave in humility.
|
| Where, like swans, girls
|
| Where under the gentle sky
|
| Everyone with everyone will share
|
| God's word and bread.
|
| ...Leaves fall from the tree
|
| In serene waters
|
| And they ring like a blizzard
|
| Round dances above the ground.
|
| And behind the spinning wheel of conversation
|
| Striped on the porch
|
| Homebodies old people
|
| Know, they smoke self-garden.
|
| Autumn is set in gold,
|
| Like an icon in salary ...
|
| So it's all fake
|
| If only in rhyme and in harmony?!
|
| So that, like birds on a tree,
|
| Calmed down in a thunderstorm
|
| So that they do not know, but believe
|
| And shed a tear
|
| To bow to the bosses
|
| For a donated span,
|
| To sin and repent,
|
| And they sinned again? ..
|
| Either a son, or a stepson,
|
| Either a thief, or a prince -
|
| Razomlev from fables,
|
| Poke everyone in the dirt!
|
| Overflowing with filth
|
| From tire to bottom...
|
| But somewhere, probably
|
| There is -- She?!
|
| The one with free fields,
|
| That - in boiling lilacs,
|
| Where they are born happy
|
| And they depart in humility...
|
| Prophetic bird, C grade,
|
| Violent whistle under the wing!
|
| Bird, spark, dot
|
| Off-road deaf.
|
| I beg you:
|
| -- Survive !
|
| Be alive in decay,
|
| So that at least in the heart, as in Kitezh,
|
| Hear your blessing! |
