Текст песни Владимир Ланцберг - О превратностях любви

V. Lantsberg: There is such a song about the vicissitudes of love. Pop loved the dog, and the dog loved meat. But a dog gave his life for his love, and pop for meat - love ... Don’t be sad, dog, your song is not yet sung!

You say: “dedicate a poem to me!” ...

                  Vladimir Lantsberg

You say:
- Give me a poem! -
go to the balcony
and looking at the sunset sky
I will create a masterpiece.

You say:
- Give me a star! -
right on the balcony
I’ll fit on a stool
podkaraulu Woznichego
and steal the chapel.

You say:
- Jump from the ninth floor! -
right there from the stool
I'll jump over the railing -
and down.

But if you cry after:
- Go to the bakery! -
have to upset you:
while composing poetry -
the goods are over
while waiting for a star -
the store was closed
while returning to earth -
I realized that I’ll break bread
with another,
simpler.

1989

You think you're the only one ...

                Vladimir Lantsberg

                          I.L.

You think,
you are the only one -
with such a smile and such tears?

You think,
there cannot be another such one -
so independent
and so understanding?

You think,
where else would I find one -
so dear
and so unexpected?

You really think
what are you the only
and unique?

Here is what is not, is not:
that's not you,
it's me
So
I think.
