Lyrics Александр Матюхин - О. Мандельштам. Я пью за военные астры

I drink to military asters,
for everything that reproached me:
For the master's fur coat, for asthma,
for the bile of the St. Petersburg day.

For the music of the Savoy pines,
Elysian gas fields,
For roses in a rolls-royce cabin,
for the oil of Parisian paintings.

I drink for the Biscay waves,
for the cream of the alpine jug,
For the redhead Englishwoman
and distant quinine colonies,

I drink, but have not yet thought of
from two choosing one:
Fragrant Asti-Spumante
il papal castle wine
