Текст песни Владимир Высоцкий - Жил я с матерью и батей

SONG OF HOSPITAL

I lived with my mother and Batya
On the Arbat - age would be so.
And now I'm in the medical battalion
On the bed, covered in bandages.

What we glory that we Klava-
Nurse and white light!
Pomer my neighbor to the right,
One on the left - not yet.

And one day - as in the heat -
The neighbor on the left, I
Suddenly said: - Listen, man,
You have feet, not really.

How so! It is not true, my friends!
He's probably a joke?
- We will cut only the fingers -
So the doctor told me.

But a neighbor who left,
All laughed, all joking.
Even if the night delirious -
Everything about the leg said

Scoffed, saying, do not get up!
Do not you see, they say, the wife!
Looked to you, comrade,
At ourselves.

If I was not a cripple
And get down from the bed down,
I used the fact that the left
Just bit the throat!

Pleaded sister Claudia
See what I've become.
Would be alive neighbor to the right -
He would have told me the truth ...
