Текст песни Бродский - Я входил вместо дикого зверя в клетку

I was part of wild beasts in a cage,
 Burned out his term and klikuhu nail in the barracks ,
 Lived by the sea, playing roulette
 I dined with the devil knows someone in tails .

 From the height of a glacier I looked around half of the world ,
 Three drowned twice been ripped .
 Threw the country that I nursed .
 From forgotten me , you can make a city .

 I wandered in the steppes who remember the cries of the Hun ,
 Puts on it all over again in vogue ,
 Sow rye, black roofing paper covered threshing floor
 And not only drank water dry .

 I admitted in my dreams burnished pupil convoy
 Ate the bread of exile , leaving crusts.
 Let his chords all sounds , in addition to howl ;
 Switched to a whisper . Now I'm forty .

 What I say about life? That was long .
 Only grief I feel solidarity.
 But while my mouth did not score the clay ,
 Of it will be distributed only gratitude.
