| What kind of house is silent
|
| Immersed in darkness
|
| On seven dashing
|
| blowing winds,
|
| All windows
|
| Turning into a ravine
|
| And the gates
|
| On the road?
|
| Oh, I'm tired, tired, and unharnessed the horses.
|
| Hey, somebody alive, come out, help!
|
| Nobody, just a shadow
|
| flashed in the passage,
|
| Yes, the vulture descended and narrowed the circles.
|
| How do you enter the house
|
| Anyway, in a tavern,
|
| And the people -
|
| Every third person is an enemy.
|
| Turn the cheekbone
|
| Uninvited guest!
|
| Image in the corner -
|
| And those are skewed.
|
| And a vague, wonderful conversation started,
|
| Someone groaned a song and tormented a guitar,
|
| And the epileptic fellow is a moron and a thief -
|
| He secretly showed me a knife from under the tablecloth.
|
| "Who will answer me -
|
| What kind of house is this
|
| Why in darkness
|
| How is the plague barracks?
|
| The light of the lamps went out,
|
| Air poured out...
|
| Ali live with you
|
| Have you forgotten how?
|
| Your doors are wide open, and your soul is locked up.
|
| Who is the master here? - I would give him wine to drink.
|
| And in response to me:
|
| "Looks like you were on the road for a long time -
|
| And I forgot people - we always live like this!
|
| We eat grass
|
| Century - on sorrel,
|
| Sour souls,
|
| pimpled,
|
| Yes, even wine
|
| Had a lot of fun -
|
| Ravaged the house
|
| They fought, they hung themselves."
|
| “I killed the horses, I rode away from the wolves.
|
| Show me the edge where it is light from the lamps.
|
| Show me the place I'm looking for
|
| Where they sing and not moan, where the floor is not sloping."
|
| "About such houses
|
| We didn't hear
|
| Long live in the dark
|
| We got used to it.
|
| From time immemorial we
|
| In evil and whisper,
|
| Under the icons
|
| In black soot."
|
| And from the stench, where images hang askew,
|
| I drove my head out of my head, throwing the whip,
|
| Where the horses carried and looked eyes,
|
| And where people live, and how people live.
|
| ... How many have sunk
|
| how much has subsided!
|
| Life threw me - did not throw me.
|
| Maybe I sang about you clumsily,
|
| Black eyes, white tablecloth?! |
