Текст песни Андрей Вознесенский - Озеро

Andrey Voznesensky

LAKE

Who are you - the unknown God
or nature according to Darwin -
but compared to you,
how incompetent I am!

Lakes Secret Oval
will highlight in the morning glade
what my ancestor called
code accidental: "Lord ..."

Lord, it's you!
I see as if for the first time
beauty lake
Russian periphery.

Lord it's you
instead of confessional
hunch near the water
old cymbal bench.

As if for the first time to water
I’ll go out, I will scrub the bush,
instead of praying to you
I will talk about the actress.

The house where she was born is
between the cathedral and the bar ...
How gifted you are
how your scenario is mediocre!

Long did not know about you.
Suddenly in a backwater train
you turned in the compartment:
Lord ...

Lord, it's you ...
Remember turned upside down
near Alma-Ata?
Just turned around.

This is the first time with me
this is the first time
as if from life itself
was on the periphery.

Years. The darkness. Bridges.
And realize during the break:
Lord - it's you!
This is the first time.
Andrey Voznesensky. Do not deny.
