The hours lost their meaning, the air cooled, melting on the deserted streets
|
Smoke that flew into the distance, following the Moscow-Tenerife liner
|
I walked along the boulevard of hopes in a quiet evening.
|
Somewhere they found love and found grief.
|
My city was either asleep or just sick.
|
This is kind sadness in the windows opposite,
|
Where chintz curtains hid a dozen tearful stories
|
Eighteenth autumn, crimson red color.
|
I was pulled by books, easels, paints, jazz songs,
|
Serious films with bad endings
|
This is what they call a revelation before bed.
|
My words were repeated by the echo of the old quarters
|
Almost silently, but painfully overflowing glasses
|
And sadness dripped on the floor with a bright shade of love
|
In a welter of drunken melodies, erasing the old days
|
Again, the verses are not about anything. |
Not in notes sung verse
|
Again, not what I wanted, but there is no choice,
|
But as if the years have sunk by the calendar of suspense
|
Only new song, new song
|
Long after midnight. |
All the drafts are sleeping in the fireplace,
|
Turned to ashes, they don't mean much
|
Cooled coffee, table lamp twilight destroyed
|
Tobacco smoke, suffocating and poems under the pillow
|
It's all autumn! |
She is inside me! |
She's around!
|
Somehow sweet, purple like poison
|
The rain dropped its drops like dry wine on the binding of French classics
|
And like lights, they went out over the enchanted street
|
Stars rubies went to the bottom of the ocean
|
In the bottomless sky the orchestra played
|
And the keyboard solo and guitar melody,
|
And the soul aches with melancholy, as if it takes you into the twilight
|
I don't want to fall asleep! |
Breaking up does not pull!
|
And the old music is circling like a gray banner over the city.
|
Behind the record noise, my voice is heard clearly
|
It's a new song, wasted, and another one again |
