Текст песни Владимир Каденко - Античка

Vladimir Kadenko

The years are dragging us down
On a righteous sofa
Which, however, will not slow down baldness ...
Dionysus is sober,
Aristophanes is sad,
And wisdom does not save Odysseus.

How do I know
That everything will happen like this:
I will come to her to warm up out of habit,
But I have a family
And she has a philology department,
Girlfriend and exam on "antiquity".

Green spring
Forgiven all sins
When, bending over the washing board,
She suddenly found out
That I write poetry
Not often, but easy and ingenious.

Unsleeping Charon
Will send me home.
And for everyone, as they say, for edification
I will go to the platform
Handsome and straight
Like Stirlitz leaving on an assignment.
