Текст песни Владимир Высоцкий - Письмо к другу, или зарисовка о Париже

Oh, dear Vanya ! I walk around Paris -
And what I hear and what I see -
I am writing in a notebook , impressions after :
When you are old - will publish little book .

About what , Vanya, we're in Paris
Needed - as in a bath pliers .

All second-generation immigrants here -
They are sheer misunderstanding :
They're all confused - and the name , and the name -
And would you , Vanya , they howled - & quot; Vania & quot ;.

But in general , Ivan, we're in Paris
Needed - as in the Russian bath ski !

I myself started with the French intrigues ,
My friends now - and Pierre and Jean .
Already I spit from the Eiffel Tower
On the heads of unsuspecting Parisians !

Penetration on our planet
Especially noticeable in the distance :
In Paris public toilet
There are inscriptions in Russian !
