Текст песни Аквариум - День Первый

Day One (Sands of Petersburg, 1994)

And the first day came, and birds flew out of your hands;
And the wind smelled like walnuts
But did not dare to touch your lips,
And noon lasted almost the thirteenth hour;
And you said the word and it seemed to me
That the word was alive;
And further away in the shadows
She smiled like children, looking at us;

And after the shadows of the houses fell under their feet, recognizing you,
And the mistresses of the houses lit candles, calling to you;
And, like a needle in a compass, you trembled from their eyes;
And they lay down under your sight
Not knowing what you see in them,
But ready to wait
To feel the word one more time.

Those who love you are silent - now you are better than them,
And your dead are waiting below
But you will hardly let them in;
And the jugglers in the square are counting your every hour;
But none of them will tell you
What you want to know:
How to do so
To make her smile one more time!
