Текст песни Сегодня в Мире - Дома без крыш

Summer Night was
Warm as ash ...
So imperceptible increments until I reached the outskirts.
These suburbs
Were framed
Cut-out towers, cranes lace.
   Images of clouds, reflections of clouds
   Sailed through the skeletons of unfinished houses.
   These houses without roofs - in a white night gave -
   In the wasteland zazvali me in the mud and clay brought ...
In the wasteland night light iron scrap,
Slowly cooling, heat enveloped day.
And these houses without roofs - in the sweltering night gave -
Something knew and said they could not!
   Because of the angle, like a thief, looked pale yard:
   There's magic in the wind, dancing dirty paper ...
   And these houses without roofs like somewhere to go ... Went ...
   Sailing - as if they were not at home, and ships ...
Met me in the path between the cement waves
Tub with some paint - just in the warm sea - canoe;
Stick-stirrer in it - like a canoe - paddle ...
From ships brick tub-boat drifted.
   Was magical all: even a paper rubbish!
   Even mixer-stick recall so far! ..
   And these houses without roofs, - light without fire;
   This sadness and joy;
   The night of the day with a smile!

Novella Matveeva, 1961-1962
