Ольга Берггольц - Разговор с соседкой
текст песни

Fifth December 1941.
The fourth month of the block is coming
so. Until the fifth of December,
stuffy anxieties lasted along
Ten to twelve hours.
Leningraders received from 125
up to 250 grams of bread.

Daria Vlasyevna, a neighbor in the apartment,
Let's sit down, talk together.
You know, we will talk about the world,
About the desired world, about its own.

So we lived for almost six months,
One and a half hundred days, the battle lasts.
Severe suffering of the people -
Ours, Daria Vlasyevna, with you.

Oh, the night -winding sky,
trembling of the earth, a collapse not far away,
Poor Leningrad Slot of Bread -
He almost does not weigh on his hand ...

In order to live in a block of blockade,
Service daily hear a whistle -
How much strength do we need, a neighbor,
How much hatred and love ...

So much that in a minute in confusion
You will not recognize yourself:
- Will I bear it? Is there enough patience?
- Take out. You will suffer. You will survive.

Daria Vlasyevna, a little more
Day will come - above our head
The last alarm will fly
And the latter will sound.

And what a distant, long-standing
You and I will be a war
in a moment, when we push the shutters with the hand,
We will pull the curtains black from the window.

Let the dwelling glow and breathe,
Full of peace and spring ...
Cry quieter, laugh quieter, quieter,
We will enjoy silence.

We will break fresh bread with our hands
Dark gold and rye.
Slow, large sips
We will drink rosy wine.

And you - they will put you
Monument on the Square Bolshoi.
Stainless, immortal steel
Your appearance will be imprinted simple.

Here is the same: Irong, bold,
In a hastily tied scarf,
Here is when under the shelling
You go with your wallet in your hand.

Daria Vlasyevna, with your strength
The whole earth will be updated.
This power is the name - Russia.
Stand and maneuve, like her!
