Александр Матюхин - О. Мандельштам. Я пью за военные астры
текст песни

I drink for military asters,
For everything that they reproached me:
For a barbid fur coat, for asthma,
For the bile of St. Petersburg day.

For the music of Savoy pines,
Fields of Champs Elysees,
For roses in the cabin of Rols-Royis,
For the oil of Parisian paintings.

I drink for Biscay waves
for the cream of alpine jugs,
For the red arrogance of English women
and distant colonies of Khinin,

I drink, but I have not yet come up with
Of the two, choosing one thing:
Fragrant Asti-Pummante
or papal castle wine
