Текст песни Владимир Капгер - Песенка о вине

(evening elegy with empty glass in hand)

 Eh my wine
 That there is no wine in the house,
 What set a glass
 Lovely sides
 Universe to show off
 And the envy of her -
 So it is in my soul
 River of living lights
 Stores the glimmer of the day
 In the secret day ...

 And do not understand
 How, at the end of the day,
 Now I need to change
 Cold glass
 And empty words
 Forgotten heat
 In memory that stores
 The silence of the gray books?
 And yet, damn it,
 Life passes like a moment ...

 Your river
 Your dream of crooked mirrors, -
 Make clouds
 Your colorful dreams.
 And to you from the darkness
 Out of clear depth
 Looks the eternal face
 Through the fluttering of the stars!
 And yet, at this moment
 I feel sorry for myself to tears ...
