Lyrics 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 the meat. But the dog for his love gave life, and the pop for meat - love ... Do not be sad, dog, your song is not sung yet!

You say: "Dedicate me a poem!" ...

                  Vladimir Lantsberg

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

You say:
- Give me a star! -
right there on the balcony
I climbed on a stool,
I watch for a boy
and steal the chapel.

You say:
- Jump from the ninth floor! -
right there with a stool
I will cross the railing -
and down.

But if you shout follow:
- Go to the bakery! -
will have to upset you:
while poems composed -
the goods are over,
while the star was waiting -
the shop was closed,
while returning to earth -
I realized that I was breaking bread
with another,
simpler.

1989

You think you're the only one ...

                Vladimir Lantsberg

                          I.L.

You think,
you're the only one
with such a smile and such tears?

You think,
another such and can not be -
so independent
and so understanding?

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

You really think
that you are the only one
and unique?

There is no such thing:
that's not you,
it's me
So
I think.
