My mother took me here when I was a child
|
And even bought lollipops
|
For terribly saved money,
|
And the sellers smiled the same way.
|
They went to the market like a holiday,
|
After all, there is nowhere else in the city to walk,
|
And I was a smart and prankster boy,
|
And he learned to steal early.
|
And the market, our market was buzzing as always,
|
And past, and past rushed trains,
|
Goods, boxes, tables and places,
|
Sell, buy, rubles, as if from a bush.
|
Gypsies, tents, cops and thieves,
|
Toys, horses and my childhood.
|
As before, there are Vietnamese and Chinese here,
|
Naked trunks and bags,
|
And azers are cool, like eggs,
|
Khokhols, Mordovians, pies with cabbage.
|
Here is a celebration of life and, of course, money,
|
Mouzon, barbecue, sheepskin coats and stockings,
|
And a homeless drunk and a former academician
|
Laces are sold from one cart.
|
And the market, our market was buzzing as always,
|
And past, and past rushed trains,
|
Goods, boxes, tables and places,
|
Sell, buy, rubles, as if from a bush.
|
Gypsies, tents, cops and thieves,
|
Toys, horses and my childhood.
|
Thieves in black cars are driving around,
|
Security is also in BMW jeeps,
|
There is always enough work for everyone here,
|
All citizens walk lave here.
|
And if a thief aims at someone else's bag,
|
To pinch quietly steal,
|
The guard is that particular racket in general,
|
He goes to collect money with a check.

|
Our market is drawn to itself like a magnet,
|
All and sundry go to the market,
|
Here something is sold and bought,
|
And they just walk all day long.
|
Although there is a lot of ugliness going on here,
|
But despite the rain, heat and hail,
|
Everyone comes to the market as if to a holiday,
|
The people here make a promenade.

And also the sellers smiled.
