| On a platform full of seeds, a composition was served,
|
| Drunkards-shikerevichs took their places.
|
| Young, beautiful, we climbed into the echelon.
|
| Nikolai Serafimovich, yours was the first carriage.
|
| They tore the strings mercilessly not for a thousand - for a penny,
|
| Thank you, please - don't pour them into a glass.
|
| On a white night, slightly creamy, the "Sail" floated along the river.
|
| Nikolai Khrizantemovich flourished in the tavern.
|
| You poured pearls, touching the silver strings with your hand,
|
| And the golden carp kept pecking and pecking until the morning.
|
| "Three sevens" pouring into glasses on the Nevsky curb,
|
| We closed the account by adding another hundred grams.
|
| In a quiet aspen grove, wiping sweat from your face,
|
| Nikolai Hiroshimovich tore our hearts.
|
| Not a drowsy tram owl - three kopecks a ticket,
|
| Nikolai Nidvoraevich, you were in our color and suit.
|
| On today's "oars" famous artists are labouring,
|
| But none of the cool ones have grown to such a “steam”.
|
| Somewhere behind, a trolley with maestras famously rolls,
|
| Unsuccessfully trying to catch up with yours, Rezan, the locomotive.
|
| The flock of birds left for the sky with a desperate cry.
|
| We lacked sadness... Kolya, what's the matter?!
|
| The crying of paraffin candles made Leningrad sad...
|
| Nikolai Serafimovich, goodbye, brother.
|
| Bankers are dying, kissing clients on the kir,
|
| And the brothers are responsible for the words, as in the best days.
|
| Everyone is equal - in steam rooms, in beer rooms - in front of magnetic tapes,
|
| On which your, Serafimych, guitar rings. |
