Текст песни Театр Г. Л. Олди - Я был мечом

I was having a dream. I was a sword.
                   In the cold metal is sharpened,
                   I was not surprised by this.
                   As if it was nothing to do with it.

                   I was having a dream. I was a sword.
                   Taking off over someone else's shoulder,
                   I indifferently went down.
                   I was doomed to it.

                   I was having a dream. I was a sword.
                   People judge and executioner.
                   In the short life of man
                   I was the last candle.

                   In the intertwining of thoughts and destinies
                   I remained unshakable.
                   As what was, is and will be,
                   As a pillar of the supporting being.

                   Fool! Pride is carried away,
                   What did you want, dreamed of what?!.
                   I was punished for pride.
                   ...I was having a dream. I WAS a sword.
