Lyrics 103 Александр Городницкий - Донской монастырь

And in the Donskoy Monastery
   Winter decoration.
   Sleeps at the Donskoy Monastery
   Russian nobility.
   Taking the blizzards under the bridle,
   Behind the wall like twins
   Got new buildings.
   The palaces dream of the counts,
   And the countesses are bells
   Slaughtered triples.

And in the Donskoy Monastery
The time of bird wandering.
Sleeps at the Donskoy Monastery
Russian nobility.
  Napping, despite the noise
  Both close and far
  From rooky screams
  Old Chamberlains,
  Cavaliers sailors
  And the poet of languages.

Ah, the dead age of ballads
A century of hussar honor!
Ladies peak sleep
With the Germans together.
Under the sleepless Moscow
Under the green grass
Sleeps - and does not judge us
Century that century has ended its
Without a war without a world
Without universal vanities.

Fall foliage in the monastery.
Here is the fall, hello.
Sleeps at the Donskoy Monastery
Russian nobility.
Twentieth century in the yard
Warm rain in September
A leaf flies into space ...
And in the Donskoy Monastery
Sleeping sweetly at dawn
Russian nobility.

Twentieth century in the yard
Warm rain in September
a leaf flies into space ...
And in the Donskoy Monastery
Sleeping sweetly at dawn
Russian nobility.
