Lyrics Кукрыниксы - Ответ матери

The old lady is sweet
          Live the way you live.
          I feel tender
          Your love and memory.
          But only you
          You won't understand a drop -
          How i live
          And what am I doing in the world?

I am most
          I love spring.
          I love to spill
          The rapid flow
          Where every sliver,
          Like a ship
          Such open space
          What you can not look round.

But while there is a blizzard ...

Darling!
          Well, how to fall asleep in a blizzard?
          The pipe is so plaintive
          And so protractedly groans.
          You want to lie down
          But you see no bed,
          A narrow coffin
          And - that they bury you.

Like a thousand
          The most nasty things
          She sings crying -
          Bastard-blizzard!
          And the snow falls
          Like penny,
          And there is no coffin
          Neither wife nor friend!

But time will be
          Dear, dear!
          She will come, the time has come!
          No wonder we
          Sat down at the guns:
          He sat down at the cannon,
          This one is at the pen.

Forget you money
          Forget everything.
          What death?
          Is it you, are you?
          I'm not a cow,
          Not a horse, not a donkey,
          To me
          Out of the stall out!

I will go out myself
          When the time comes,
          When to shoot
          Will have on the planet
          And returning
          You buy a handkerchief,
          Well and father
          I will buy these things.

But while there is a blizzard ...
