Текст песни Дмитрий Дихтер - Вздутыми венами...

Alexander Ivanov

Blistering veins senile hands
In the ever more clearly trails.
Tower of Pisa falls into the pond
Wind picked poplar.

Dead crown lie down on the bottom
Pulls it all stubborn.
The angle of incidence is critical for a long time -
Keep a tenacious roots.

Who is he, perhaps, he is the same age as mine,
Rock pushed in the back,
Or the old man he was dry and straight -
Short century poplar.

Here's where to learn the dialectics,
The logic of contradictions -
Withered leaf withering printing
It pushed into the human footprint.

Clock against the grain jammed Travin
The branch sticking out crooked.
There extinction flat plains
Terrible proximity of the cliff.

Who will keep me on the edge -
Be my song sung.
As the half-educated philosopher standing,
I know, but hesitated.
