Lyrics Анна Ахматова - Ведь где-то есть

After all, somewhere there is a simple life and light,
Transparent, warm and cheerful ...
There is a girl with a neighbor over the fence
In the evening he speaks and only bees hear
The most tender of all conversations.

And we live solemnly and hard
And honor the rites of our bitter meetings,
When the wind is reckless on the fly
Slightly begun interrupted speech.

But we won’t exchange anything magnificent
The granite city of glory and misfortune
Broad rivers of shining ice
Sunless, gloomy gardens
And the voice of the Muse is barely audible.
