Текст песни Владимир Сысков - Александр МЕЖИРОВ. Предвоенная баллада

Alexander MEZHIROV
THE PRE-WAR BALLAD
Forties, fatal ...
D. Samoilov
Summer twilight languor
At the piano on the wing.
At the apartment of the Deputy People's Commissar
A party in half-darkness.

Hands are weak, shoulders are narrow -
Time silent rut -
And ninth-graders blouses
Smelling iron.

Frontier era
A step from peace to war
Excellent and bad
All exams have been passed.

The deputy commissar is not at home
I'm not at home, as always,
It's too late for Saturday
He did not return from work -
Will never return.

The party is young -
Silent flight of time.
Not coinciding with the time,
Lyalya Black sings.

And the gypsy that anapest
Breathes into souls hotly.
Cross-ringing windows
Not glued yet.

And again over the radio
To the ceiling obliquely
Cheerful rises,
Delightful waltz.

And to the waltz of merry Vienna,
Step without slowing down
In pairs - before the war,
Fatal, fortieth.
