Текст песни Песни нашего века - Городок

Nikolay Zabolotsky

TOWN

The washerwoman does the washing all day
The husband went for vodka
There is a dog sitting on the porch
With a small beard.

She stares all day
Smart eyes
If anyone in the house cries,
Sadness on the sidelines.

And who should cry today
In the city of Tarusa?
There is someone to cry today -
To the girl Marusa.

Disgusted with Marusa
Roosters and geese, -
How many walks on Tarusa,
Lord Jesus!

"If only I had such feathers,
Yes, such wings
I flew right through the door
I threw myself into the feather grass!

So that my eyes are in the world
They wouldn't look anymore
Roosters and these geese
No more noise! ​​"

Oh, how bad it is for Marusa
In the city of Tarusa, -
Only roosters and geese,
Lord Jesus!
