Song about a paper soldier

Bulat Okudzhava

1. One soldier in the world lived,
Beautiful and brave,
But he was a toy child, -
After all, there was a paper soldier.

He wanted to remake the world
To be happy every
And on the thread hung, -
After all, there was a paper soldier.

2. He would be happy - in the fire and smoke,
For you to die twice
But you trembled over it, -
After all, there was a paper soldier.

You did not trust him
Of their secrets important.
And why? And therefore
That was a paper soldier.

3. And he, fate his klyan,
Not a quiet life eager
And everyone asked: "Fire, fire!" -
Forgetting that it is paper.

Into the fire? Well, go! Go easy?
And he stepped once.
And there he burned down for a penny -
After all, there was a paper soldier.
