When in the cities there are fires and scaffolds,
Oohs and ahs
Plague and rust
When tanks get stuck at circuses -
It's time for a punk to be born
And laugh.
It doesn't matter how cold it comes from:
Flanders, Vologda,
Nazareth, Torzhok.
I don’t care what to call him:
even Holden-Caulfield,
At least a pot.
The main thing is that the pipe is not stupid,
Iroquois stands
The leather is not worn.
Here's one on used ear equipment
He will compose Homer and troubadours,
And the Sermon on the Mount in garages.
And he will joke
over Grozny and Karl,
And in general it will be clear
normal gyoz.
And he will sing
And they will sing with him until
The asshole fishmonger will not write a denunciation.
And the riot police will come, and - oh woe, woe! —
They will take away the pipe and burn down the garage,
And in about a hundred years Gorin will rewrite it
And he will overplay “The King and the Fool.”
And then they tear down the sign
last address,
And legislatively
They will tell you to forget.
And he will rise in spirit
free Flanders,
To kill the spirit of Anchorage.
And the text will be rewritten in words,
They will sing in the square and tremble -
And he will laugh over the abyss,
Laugh at meanness,
Above the rusty life
Laugh at death.
