Я как-то вышел из дома,
Смотрю, куда-то все бегут.
Спросил я: "Простите, куда вы спешите?
Быть может, на работу или в институт."
Меня никто не заметил,
Остался без ответа мой вопрос.
Подумал я, это, видно, эстафета
Или кросс. Но кто-то произнес:
Кто не успел, тот опоздал!
Кто не успел, тот опоздал!
Я, впрочем, вышел за хлебом,
Но в магазине оказался перерыв.
Мне стало обидно и чуточку стыдно,
И я подумал, загрустив:
Кто не успел, тот опоздал,
Кто не успел, тот опоздал.
Я вспомнил, что мне нужно ехать,
Поймал такси и ринулся на вокзал.
Мой поезд умчался, а я остался
И мудрый стрелочник сказал:
Кто не успел, тот опоздал,
Кто не успел, тот опоздал.
С тех пор летаю, как ракета,
Сам не могу себя догнать.
Ведь жизнь, видно, это - просто эстафета,
В которой кто-то должен проиграть.
Кто не успел, тот опоздал,
Кто не успел, тот опоздал.
Кто не успел, тот опоздал...
I somehow left the house
I look, everyone runs somewhere.
I asked: "Sorry, where are you in a hurry?
Perhaps to work or at the institute. "
Nobody noticed me
My question remained unanswered.
I thought, this is apparently a relay
Or cross. But someone said:
Who did not have time, he was late!
Who did not have time, he was late!
However, I went out for bread,
But there was a break in the store.
I felt offended and a little as a shame,
And I thought, saddening:
Who did not have time, he was late
Who did not have time, he was late.
I remembered what I need to go
He caught a taxi and rushed to the station.
My train rushed away, and I stayed
And the wise switchman said:
Who did not have time, he was late
Who did not have time, he was late.
Since then I have been flying like a rocket
I can't catch up with myself.
After all, life, apparently, is just a relay,
In which someone should lose.
Who did not have time, he was late
Who did not have time, he was late.
Who did not have time, he was late ...
