Текст песни В. Высоцкий - Песня об обиженном времени

Lift the curtain over the edge -
So old, heavy backstage! -
That's what time it was before
So smooth - take a look, Alice!

But ... Poor watch
Happy
And deliberately slowed down time
Cowardly
Hurried time, urged
Screaming
For no reason, time was being killed
Lazy.

And the wheels of time
Stacked in friction
(Everything in the world spoils from friction)
And then time was offended -
And the pendulums of time froze.

And twelve at midnight didn’t break
Everyone waited half a day, but again did not wait.
Here's the time:
So nervous - take a look, Alice!

And ... They looked at the clock in fright
Happy
Complaint songs dragged on
Cowardly
Their huge mouths shut up
Chatty
Chorus yawned and fell asleep
Lazy.

Lubricate the wheels of time
Not for the first prize -
After all, he is very painful from friction!
No offense should be time.
It’s bad and dreary to live without time.
