| Печальная мелодия
| sad melody
|
| Со струн катилась, как слеза.
| It rolled from the strings like a tear.
|
| Который год, как в непогоде я –
| What year, as in bad weather, I -
|
| То снегопады, то гроза.
| Snowfall, thunderstorm.
|
| От случая до случая –
| From case to case
|
| Надежда – писаный портрет –
| Hope - a painted portrait -
|
| То исчезает, сердце мучая,
| That disappears, tormenting the heart,
|
| То появляется на свет.
| That comes to light.
|
| А на нарах, а на нарах,
| And on the bunk, and on the bunk,
|
| На гитарах, на гитарах
| On the guitars, on the guitars
|
| Нам сыграют про свободу и любовь.
| We will play about freedom and love.
|
| А на воле, а на воле
| And at will, but at will
|
| Тот мотив, как ветер в поле.
| That motive is like wind in a field.
|
| И тюрьма по той гитаре плачет вновь.
| And the prison is crying for that guitar again.
|
| И тюрьма по той гитаре плачет вновь и вновь.
| And the prison cries over that guitar again and again.
|
| Звенят, как струны голые,
| Ringing like bare strings
|
| Мне колокольчики-года.
| I have bells-years.
|
| Срываются, как голуби,
| Drop like doves
|
| И улетают навсегда.
| And fly away forever.
|
| А что еще не выпало,
| And what hasn't fallen yet
|
| То ветер, видно, не донес,
| That the wind, apparently, did not convey,
|
| Где неба купол выколот
| Where the sky dome is gouged out
|
| Наколками из звезд.
| Star tattoos.
|
| А на нарах, а на нарах,
| And on the bunk, and on the bunk,
|
| На гитарах, на гитарах
| On the guitars, on the guitars
|
| Нам сыграют про свободу и любовь.
| We will play about freedom and love.
|
| А на воле, а на воле
| And at will, but at will
|
| Тот мотив, как ветер в поле.
| That motive is like wind in a field.
|
| И тюрьма по той гитаре плачет вновь.
| And the prison is crying for that guitar again.
|
| И тюрьма по той гитаре плачет вновь и вновь.
| And the prison cries over that guitar again and again.
|
| А на нарах, а на нарах,

|
| На гитарах, на гитарах
| On the guitars, on the guitars
|
| Нам сыграют про свободу и любовь.
| We will play about freedom and love.
|
| А на воле, а на воле
