|
| Have you ever seen sunsets on the Nabka,
|
| Reading good books and grabbing hacks?
|
| At a time when the great red sun
|
| Falls into the Volga, illuminating with the light of the sky,
|
| And you and your friends who are already in tattoos,
|
| You talk about life, about were and weren't,
|
| It passes, but for everyone in a different way:
|
| Someone sees her in turbidity, someone in rhinestones,
|
| Someone waking up sees the morning, someone sees the evening,
|
| But both this and that are essentially infinite.
|
| I want the sun over my head
|
| Look at the sky and the surf
|
| washing slippers on the sidewalks,
|
| Along the dark arches and along my favorite nabka.

|
| At that rare time when I'm not on the Internet,
|
| I go out into the city, peering through the windows,
|
| It's strange, Leningrad all got wet,
|
| And this is a stupid coincidence
|
| That the shops are all busy and there are no friends on them,
|
| Well, okay, I'll go to the Trinity market,
|
| And everything would be nothing, but this badly laid out tile
|
| Just after the rain, puddles accumulate here,
|
| And it seems like a drain is everywhere, but why the fuck is it needed,
|
| And these drops that are mixed with a sharp wind
|
| They are issued in equal proportions on each meter.
|
| I walk among the lights of houses and shops,
|
| among cheap cars and limousines,
|
| Among wheelbarrows khachikov, laundresses, I write these lines
|
| Every day from morning until late at night.
|
| I want the sun over my head
|
| Look at the sky and the surf
|
| washing slippers on the sidewalks,
|
| Along the dark arches and along my favorite nabka.
