Текст песни Вертинский - Я не знаю зачем и кому это нужно...

I do not know why and who needs it,
Who sent them to death with a trembling hand,
Just so mercilessly, so evil and unnecessary
Dip them in the Eternal Calm!

Careful viewers silently wrap up in fur coats,
And a woman with a distorted face
He kissed the dead man in the blue lips
And he threw a priest wedding ring.

Cast aside their Christmas trees, they kneaded mud
And they went from house to house - under the guise of interpreting,
What it is time to put an end to so ugly
That and so soon, they say, we will begin to starve.

And no one thought of just kneel
And to tell these boys that mediocre country
Even bright feats - this is only stage
In the endless abyss - inaccessible to the spring!
