Текст песни Дольский - Русское слово

The worst of all earthly sins
And even more humiliation
There is a sin of not reading verses
And neglect of prose.

These days, these gray years
after slavery and dead poetry
there is nothing more beautiful than Nature
and the simplest love sins ...
There is no more reliable Russian Word -
inspirations of my forefathers.
Let the centuries of the art of chaff
amuses the elite of fools.

What is the truth in the eyes
when sleepless nights
the book glows like a hearth,
holy eternal rays!

The rich will go bankrupt and collapse,
but nowhere will he buy a ticket,
to go into the cramped old kitchen
and hear an elegant sonnet,
to see how in poor clothes
brilliant people are sitting,
thinking about the word, as before,
half-syllable understanding half-glance.

Look like a poet's word
posted, framed ...
And it's so warm near the heart
that it burns eyes to tears.

My people, blinded by decoration
makeup for singers and singers
and fake cultural space
who has not read the cherished pages,
endowed with both sight and hearing -
pray for the Literature of Russia,
for the keepers of the Word and Spirit,
and ask them to live longer.

Open the storehouse of destinies
where is the text by smell and taste,
like ancient baked bread,
given to the people by Jesus.

What is the truth in the eyes
when sleepless nights
the book glows like a hearth,
holy eternal rays!
