O, on the Volga walks the lonely beggar,
|
||
|
|
Walks the Heavenly wanderer of the plains,
|
||
|
|
The Lord shows him his fist,
|
||
|
|
But to him it's all laughter--in the fist there is cocaine.
|
||
|
|
And down the Volga--a Golden Hoard,
|
||
|
|
And up the Volga--women look on the shore.
|
||
|
|
O, the well water--water of life,
|
||
|
|
Take my blood, o great snows,
|
||
|
|
How the winter made peace, with iron and cold,
|
||
|
|
It brought peace, but then turned into Spring.
|
||
|
|
How the snow will melt, oh what will be then,
|
||
|
|
And whne the ice moves, oh what will be with me...
|
||
|
|
And it is just the Volga flooding, not teh World Flood,
|
||
|
|
Or maybe the Lord is covering his tracks,
|
||
|
|
But I no longer care--I am almost ready,
|
||
|
|
Ready to sing to you from under the water;
|
||
|
|
And from under the water, sing the churchbells,
|
||
|
|
And from under the wall, blinding light.
|
||
|
|
Take away my sins, with your wing,
|
||
|
|
Take away my sins--why are you quiet?
|
||
|
|
So burn, you Seraph, golden winged-
|
||
|
|
Burn, don't be ashamed, be a guiding star.
|
||
|
|
I don't care--I lost the reins,
|
||
|
|
And there is no more paths, only with you.
|
||
|
|
So this is our life--Either there, or Here,
|
||
|
|
Either in teh field, death, or in your head, Savior.
|
||
|
|
I left so I could walk to the beginning of things,
|
||
|
|
But I drank and I fell--this is the whole book.
|
||
|
|
And teh ravens are quiet, and the ladies scream,
|
||
|
|
Either as dark wolves, or as liht sisters...
|
||
|
|
Either saving famine, or a saving poison,
|
||
|
|
Can you hear me, I knock--open up!
|
||
|
|
So give us to angels, or count us beasts,
|
||
|
|
Just don't be quiet, I cannot live without fire.
|
||
|
|
And,m wherever I walk, I knock at your doors,
|
||
|
|
So, Lord of mine, save me!
