Текст песни Володя Котляров - Я не учился быть поэтом

I did not learn to be a poet -
I learned to be a man.
Existence of fate
then rejected, then found in signs.
Among the crowd I was looking for the dotted line of the trail.

In simple things I saw banners
blindly drove, not noticing evil.
And announced the distance of the bell
universal spiritual eclipse.
What are their souls? Cigarette butts and ash.

Exploring the cold space
I saw the worst of catastrophes:
as through aging fingers on the platform
irreversibly continued to wake up
grains of time - that was my term ...

Leave the restless planet
and you live and do not go down the path!
Remember my covenant: in this world
learn to not be a king and not a poet -
learn, my friend, only to be a man!
