Текст песни Аквариум - Я не хотел бы быть тобой в тот день

You're inevitable like a reef in a river
You cast everyone to dust;
Burning heaven in your hand
The power of emptiness is in the lips;
And, once he saw you, he would not rise from his knees,
You are refined, like Proust, and graceful, like a deer;
But there will be a day - and you will forget what “fuck” means,
I would not want to be you that day.

I love to watch you judge
Riding on a zinc bucket;
Your enemies are running
You are Bonaparte in your yard;
Perhaps you will enlighten them, show them where the night is, where the day is,
Perhaps you will spare them when they are too lazy to execute them,
But there will be a day - and a beggar from the porch will give you a nickel,
I would not want to be you that day.

Blind snipers sing your hymn
While you sleep under their trunk;
Inhumanly simple
Your star is Shalom.
Your eagles are always vigilant while they eat from your hand;
Your wells are deep
The pockets are wide;
But there will be a day - and the children will ask you:
“What does the word house mean?”
I would not want to be you that day.
