Текст песни Иосиф Бродский - Романс скрипача

Then when there is no love with us
Then when the humpback is from the cold,
Take a gun out of your suitcase
Get it and put it in the pawnshop.
Buy a gramophone for this money
And dance somewhere in the world
(In the back of the head there is a chime)
Ah, the handle of the gramophone kiss.
Yes, listen to the violinist’s advice,
How to shoot in hot weather:
Not in the head, but near the shoulder!
Live only crying and screaming!
On a silver platter I'll carry my heart
And I’ll leave it somewhere in the yard.
Friends, ah, guess by the face,
That hearts cannot be found in a hole
Done on a pink chest,
And only the gramophones are ahead
And only string-strings, wires,
And only in the throat is red water.
