Dzhordzh Oruehll

Nebol'shoe stikhotvorenie

Svjashhennikom ja mog by stat'
Dve sotni let nazad.
Pugal by adom prikhozhan,
Imel by dom i sad.

No v zloe vremja ja rozhden,
Gde rajjskojj net krasy.
K tomu zh prelat byt' dolzhen brit,
A u menja — usy.

Byvala, vprochem, inogda
Zhizn' kak schastlivyjj son.
Trevogi prjatal ja svoi
Pod sen' zelenykh kron.

Nevezhdy, zhili my v mechtakh.
Teper' — ves' mir inojj.
A vot togda — pel drozd v sadu,
Mirja vraga so mnojj.

Devichijj stan, i abrikos,
Plesk ryby po vesne,
Let utok utrom, beg konja —
Vse ehto — lish' vo sne.

No nynche sny zapreshheny,
Taim my zhar dushi,
I metallicheskikh konejj
sedlajut krepyshi.

Kak zhalkijj cherv', kak evnukh ja,
Ne pushhennyjj v garem.
Ja i prelat, i komissar,
Idu, i p'ju, i em.

Po radio menja zovet
K pobedam komissar,
Nu a prelat — on mne sulit
Zemnojj, nadezhnyjj dar.

Vozdushnyjj zamok snilsja mne...
V jav' vylilis' mechty.
Ja v ehtom vremeni — chuzhojj.
A Smit? A Dzhons? A ty?
