Текст песни Сергей Паламарь - Шахматы

Chess

In snowy chessboard
Between the black crows lie,
Despising the king's will,
There was a stubborn army.

No shouting and no longer the mat
Do not cause new pain,
Frozen in a state of stalemate
Face blackened king.

The last two infantrymen
His obscure back
Enemies exhausted face
At the very boundaries knife.

Hardly any herald
Already discern their colors -
Swords istuplёnnye chord
In the bloody oval shield.

And it is no longer in the crown,
No life is not important, and neither death nor life,
Have any laws
Do not dare to say to them: "Do not you dare!"

Other concepts of honor
Now they are knocking at the temples ...

... And shudder in fear GM,
When they come from the board.
