Of our meeting - what is there to say?
I waited for it, as they wait for a disaster,
However, you and I began to live
Without fear of the dire consequences.
I narrowed down the circle of your friends,
Clothed, shod, and pulled out of the dirt,
However, behind you dragged the long tail,
The long tail of your brief liaisons.
Then, I remember, I beat up your friends,
For some reason, I didn’t like them,
Although among them, there must have been
Excellent guys, of this I am quite certain.
Whatever you asked for - instantly I did,
Each hour I wanted to turn into a wedding night.
Because of you, I jumped beneath a train,
Fortunately, I wasn’t too successful.
And had you waited for me the fateful year
When I was sent to the "dacha",
For you, I would have stolen the skyvault,
And two stars from the Kremlin, in addition.
And take my word, by all that is holy I swear,
Don’t lie, don’t drink, and I’ll forgive the betrayals,
And give you the Bolshoi Theater as a gift,
And the Little Sports Arena, as well.
However, now I am not ready to meet you,
I fear you, I fear the intimate nights,
Like many Japanese
Fear another Hiroshima.
