If they didn’t endure, they would still sing to this day!
|
And they sat quietly - so Likho woke up!
|
A blizzard blows through the white chambers.
|
X nods his head. |
from pay.
|
Clover and birches are a field tribe.
|
North and frost - a golden stirrup.
|
Silver and tears in an Asian vase.
|
Then - the holy fools-princes of our all-weather mud.
|
They walked barefoot along the diamond vein.
|
Many were shot. |
Others were guarded.
|
Funeral tapes. |
Velvet curtains.
|
Scolding, applause and Stalinist spurs.
|
They writhed in pain without fire and bread.
|
They trampled the field, sowing the sky.
|
Round of orders. |
Loops on donkeys.
|
And on top of the diamonds is a shaky quagmire.
|
Forgetting where, we jump who goes where.
|
They bet on a miracle - trouble fell.
|
A troubled gang is prowling along the ravine -
|
Old man-axe and my mother whip.
|
They set up an artel - it was covered with a blizzard.
|
Vodka for a week - yes, for a year of a hangover.
|
Darn on the body. |
They were sewn to the ribs.
|
We sweated for exactly a year and chewed for exactly an hour.
|
We sucked our paw - we creak with bast shoes.
|
To the light - by stage. |
Fortunately - under the lashes.
|
Cheer up, wagons! |
Dance and chimes!
|
Who, who, who will hear the groans of the stolen icon?
|
Along the concrete wall - steppe breezes.
|
We are green longing - relatives of the tribe.
|
Beggar gourmets, lying orphans
|
Yes, unfortunate chieftains from a snotty company.
|
Poultices for the dead are like medals for the living.
|
Only gifts - something that was not taken away.
|
Ours or yours - sticky glasses.
|
Sleepy mounds wave their crosses behind. |
