She’s got a life of her own - laundry, a living space.
But, I entertain in a corner at my aunt’s.
All my free time is for her.
At her, I look from the window across the way.

In the evenings, the light in her window never fades.
And yesterday, the elevator man told me for a bottle:
That she’s got two actor friends
And one of them is a popular actor at Taganka.

While I had this connection with the Department of Housing,
I learned a lot of various details about her:
Her older brother is a football player with Spartak,
And her father is a referent in the Ministry of Finance.

I will say that I always go to football matches,
And I’ll put in a good word about Spartak and her brother.
I will say that I’m on good terms with the Ministry of Finance
And myself, as an amateur, act at the Moscow Art Theater.

She has on her windowsill a geranium,
She has curtains wide-open.
But I have nothing on my windowsill
Except old dust on the dresser.

It’s nothing! I will by a lottery ticket,
And I won’t have to wait for long.
And if there is any justice in the world,
I surely will win a brand new Volga.
