| How to tear out the teeth of the bars from the walls
|
| When the rust is streaked with brick and mortar
|
| How with rotting rubble to bury the old world
|
| When there is nothing new to bet on
|
| What to sing about in the yard today
|
| Lichens of collapsed walls
|
| Where even a scrap of heaven yawns
|
| At the sight of these fatal wounds
|
| Ref.
|
| In the concave cobblestones it only shines
|
| Eternal bottomless puddle
|
| And you can see graves, graves, graves in it
|
| Under the veil of our days
|
| History has turned into a silt wall
|
| In which your eyes and hands get stuck
|
| An old man in black, a tearful choir in front of the chapel
|
| Soaked plaster like a sponge will inevitably absorb
|
| The eternal light still glows
|
| It warms up in it, in a jar a flower
|
| And behind the closed gate, space
|
| Dead end in the big world
|
| Ref.
|
| In the concave cobblestones it only shines
|
| Eternal bottomless puddle
|
| And you can see graves, graves, graves in it
|
| Under the veil of our days
|
| The inscription on the wall lasts longer here,
|
| Than the man who scratched him out of the evening
|
| Half a century of days similar to any day
|
| On the traces of the bullets from the war and those from yesterday
|
| What is left of the great river
|
| Thoughts, smells, voices, colors
|
| There are streaks in the walls of the "R" yard
|
| There are layers of dead larvae in the crevices.
|
| The way from here is only downhill
|
| In the clay embrace, in mold and plush
|
| Between graves, graves, graves,
|
| Which are long gone |
