| So let's drink, guys, for Zhenya!
|
| It's good to drink for Zhenya!
|
| Do you remember how many battles
|
| I passed with the name of Zhenya.
|
| And the years fell on the sleepers,
|
| And the winds rushed, rustling...
|
| Oh how many loved ones are gone
|
| On those unlucky paths!
|
| And in the roar of self-immolation
|
| We forgot them forever.
|
| But Zhenya... Do you remember? |
| Zhenya…
|
| I came here with her -
|
| Then, in the nineteenth century...
|
| Well, remember, damn it!
|
| It seems to me a courtyard -
|
| In Voronezh or in Perm.
|
| That morning rose unobtrusively,
|
| Only reflections on the floor
|
| "Dutch" smelled of wax,
|
| And a curtain frozen to the glass.
|
| And you seem to be just out of the hunt.
|
| I remember such an office...
|
| And we drank something vile,
|
| Similar to Cabernet.
|
| But still got drunk in order,
|
| And each of you interpreted:
|
| "Ah, ah, young noblewoman,
|
| All my life I've been looking for this…”
|
| Well, remember? |
| That's it. |
| And right
|
| Haven't met since then
|
| I am more faithful women
|
| And purer beginnings.
|
| I don't remember anyone's hugs,
|
| I don't remember lips or hands...
|
| - So where is your Zhenya, buddy?
|
| Here it is, in a friendly circle!
|
| - Yes, somewhere bravely walks,
|
| On some beach lies ...
|
| But it doesn't matter, doesn't matter:
|
| I will shout - she will come running.
|
| - Well, citizen, you stayed
|
| One. |
| It's time for us to close!
|
| — Did he pay? |
| - Calculated.
|
| - Do you intend to sit until the morning?
|
| - Well no.
|
| Frowning out of habit,
|
| I came out of the past away...
|
| Hotel "Arktika", Murmansk.
|
| Silent polar night. |
