Держаться корней [Derzhat'sya kornej] [Transliteration]
Держаться корней [Derzhat'sya kornej] [Transliteration]
Oni krasyat steny v korichnevyy tsvet,
I pishut na kryshakh slova;
Imeyut na zavtrak imbirnyy limon,
I rubl' schitayut za dva.
Mne bylo by lestno pridti k nim domoy,
I okazat'sya sil'ney -
No, chtoby stoyat', ya dolzhen derzhat'sya korney.
Ty mozhesh' kupit' sebe novyy Hi-Fi,
Ili prosto idti v gastronom;
I meditirovat' na potolke,
Oblitym deshevym vinom.
Slozhit' svoyu golovu v teleekran,
I dumat', chto budesh' umney.
No, chtoby stoyat', ya dolzhen derzhat'sya korney.
Oni govoryat, chto guby ee
Stali segodnya, kak rtut';
Chto ona ushla chereschur daleko,
Chto ee uzhe ne vernut';
No est' li sred' nas khotya by odin,
Kto mog by proyti ee put',
Ili skazat', chem my obyazany ey?..
No chem dal'she, tem budet bystrey;
Vse pomnyat ottsov, no zovut materey;
I oni govoryat, chto u nikh veseley -
V dome, v kotorom ne gasyat ogney...
No, chtoby stoyat', ya dolzhen derzhat'sya korney.
Tak stroy svoy byudzhet na zapasakh vina,
Chto khranyatsya v tvoikh kladovykh.
Kormis' na tekh, kto kormit tebya,
Zabud' pro vsekh ostal'nykh.
I ya mog by byt' takim zhe, kak ty,
I eto by bylo verney;
No, chtoby stoyat', ya dolzhen derzhat'sya korney.
