Dances beat boards with heels
|
Flickering masks boil in wax
|
In the human army, these are the most passionate
|
And black as hell eyes, eyes, eyes
|
Strings, exposed muscles, ligaments
|
Burnt, kissed by moonlight caresses
|
Future, current, ex-wives
|
Enchanted, lush
|
Dances beat boards with heels
|
Hard inexorably sharp, but viscous dance
|
From the outside, it smells of drunken rams, in part,
|
But inside - a concentrate of happiness!
|
Blood rouge rises to the faces
|
Windows fog up, male muscles are predatory
|
In thoughts deep lunges tear dresses
|
Getting breasts bulging
|
Close pairs of army officers
|
Enchanted with local ladies
|
Folk do-re-mi sharps, becars
|
Chimes with beats are ruled by guitars
|
And these couples are condemned by local customs
|
Incest is condemned by the laws of the camp
|
Customs are kept by powerful old people,
|
But not often used, as a rule
|
Dances beat boards with heels
|
Cavalier in uniform struck a biting glance
|
Enemy look, heavy, reproachfully
|
Hamsky, waiting for the oncoming gaze!
|
The music plays for an encore, the dancers echo it
|
Soon the glances were found and turned into a quarrel
|
Around the fun goes uphill, and then
|
At the very time the music stopped for five minutes
|
Cavalier sees the embarrassment of his beauty
|
He asks for forgiveness, he promises to return
|
And heads away from the festival
|
From pandemonium, to where the shadows thickened
|
"You have a reason, mister bully
|
Almost to the holes with a look to burn uniforms
|
And look at the lady without ceremony
|
How is it in the male colony?” |
The answer followed:
|
"Bad you found a place to whisper in your ear
|
My friend's sister, my fiancee
|
If this girl was for your fun
|
Then you are wrong, I need to tame your temper.
|
The young hero of two military campaigns is a brave guy
|
Against him the indomitable spirit of the local
|
Paired with ardent and daring
|
He is either a gypsy, or a Romanian, or a Moldavian
|
They clenched their fists, bared their blades
|
Waited a second, threatening with steel
|
And quick jerks with lunges began to sting
|
Sparks from sharpened ribbed edges
|
Strokes on the exhale in a steel clang
|
Splashes of red paint on the lunar disk
|
One in the clothes of a commoner leads a duel
|
With the second - with sideburns in dress uniform
|
"Well, what are you, an army mug, pulling the reins
|
You must die for the lady and for the honor!”
|
And the second has already let go
|
Tomorrow he needs to lead detachments on the offensive
|
And he gritted his teeth and endured the offense with the thought
|
That he has no right to risk his life like that
|
Said he would die if needed
|
But not because of someone's jealousy, and removed the weapon
|
In the coming offensive, he fought heroically
|
The girl danced that evening with anyone!
|
So now the jealous man has a rod instead of a saber
|
