| Every evening the yellow light of lanterns
|
| Sets fire to the fickford cord at night.
|
| And the asphalt takes kicks in the face and in the stomach.
|
| Tired veins of the night metro on "zero" make bets,
|
| And women are waiting with the smiles of vicious old women,
|
| And children who won't fall asleep.
|
| I sing you a song of love, Moscow!
|
| A city that feels no pain and spares no one.
|
| I love you, Moscow, I am your drunken child.
|
| But I was born by you, and I will die with you.
|
| He will come home and take off his jacket
|
| He will go to the window and look
|
| On the wires and on the windows of Pelmennaya.
|
| (Proceed)
|
| And when he finishes smoking, he will stand on a chair.
|
| And throw a rope on a hook in the ceiling,
|
| And he will check with his hands the reliability of the loop,
|
| And then he will take off.
|
| The red pattern of hidden roofs,
|
| Wet asphalt, like yesterday's hashish,
|
| Where, swaying, the cooled tube will again miss the beep.
|
| A look from under the cap will scare away the pigeons,
|
| But the blue trolleybus will move to the left,
|
| And yellow fingers gently embrace the black domino brick.
|
| I sing you a song of love, Moscow!
|
| A city that does not feel pain and does not spare strangers.
|
| I love you, Moscow, though I don't know why,
|
| But I was born by you and I will die with you.
|
| Bending down slightly, she whispered,
|
| But it was so noisy, and it seemed to him
|
| What he did not hear, and she smiled,
|
| And once again she said with her lips.
|
| He was as if drunk, like a boy, fooling around,
|
| And he asked: “Repeat again! |
| Repeat!"
|
| And in the dark front door, standing on tiptoe:
|
| "I love you! |
| I love you!" |
