lyrics

8. Сон не идет

Сон не идет, голова полна идей
Или просто ерундой,
Но сон все ж не идет.
Скатертью стелется дорога вдаль,
Но вагон не голубой.
Он зелен, как трава.

Берега осыпаются, река
Стала шире, но вода в море утекла.
Веселы мы, наше счастье – сонный хмель.
Так летят года,
Но не грустить же нам!

I Can’t Sleep

I can’t sleep.
My head is full of ideas,
Or just nonsense.
All the same, I can’t sleep.
The road runs ahead,
But the carriage isn’t blue –
It’s green like grass

The river banks crumble.
The river has become wider,
But the water has run away into the sea.
We are merry.
The sleepy wine is our joy.
The years pass by,
But we won’t be sad!
