Роберт Рождественский - Война
текст песни

There was a school.
Form - for growth
Shooting in the morning.
Drilling - calls.
Semi -annual
Accelerated release.
And on the buttonhole
Two kubari.

There was a train
For long
Russia,
Went to war
Through the flickering of birches
"We will break them!",
We will master them! ",
"We will prove them!" -
The steam locomotive was buzzing.

Stations -
Like the Novgorod Veche.
World,
Where human trouble is bubbling.
There was a train.
And towards
towards -
only
Sanitary trains.

I didn’t climb into the throat
Hot porridge.
Midnight
was like a trigger
Smooth ...
"We will break them!",
"We will prove them!",
"We will master them!" -
The lieutenant whispered.

In the vestibule,
Wearing on the arrows of rattles,
All blown
drafts,
He grew up on the way -
This Boy -
Thin neck,
Ears with puffed ...
Only in dreams,
Occupying the shelf
In the sediment
tobacco smoke,
He forgot about everything
not for long.
And smiled.
He dreamed
Something open
And blue
Sky,
Or maybe
sea ​​wave…

"Tanks!"
And immediately heart -rending:
"To the battle!"
So they met:
He
And war.

... the air was filled with thunder
with a hum.
The world was broken
He was distorted.
This
It seemed a mistake
vision,
Strange
monstrous mirage.
Only a vision
did not pass:
Following the tanks
At the bridge
Dusty guys
In gray uniforms
Walked
And they shot from the stomach.
Drinking sleepers!
The embankment swayed!
Except for the fire,
Not visible to ZGI!
As if it were a planet
ended
there,
Where have come now
Enemies.
As if she was getting less and less! ..

Hurrying
From close gaps of grenades, -
black,
confused,
numb -
In a hard cuvette
The lieutenant was lying.
Boy
lay in the middle of Russia,
All her pashen
roads
And aspen ...
What are you, platoon?!
"We will prove! ..",
"Offer! ..."
Here it is -
Fascist
Prove
And Osil.
Here it is -
fascist!
Rauded and powerful
howls
His famous
steel.

I know,
That this is almost impossible.
I know it's scary.
And still
Get up!
Get up,
lieutenant!
You hear
They ask about it
Again arising
From non -existence
Your house,
overall in sunlight,
Town,
Fatherland,
Your mother…
Get up, lieutenant!
The spaces conjure
Birds and animals,
Snow and flowers.
Tender
Asks
Girl,
with which
I could not meet
you

Asks
distant secondary school,
who has become a state -pounding
From september.
Get up!
Court's Football Champions
Ask you -
his goalkeeper.

Asks
High star scattering,
mountains,
The bend of each river.
Marshal
orders
And asks:
“Get up, lieutenant!
Try!
Smell ... "
Looking significantly and harshly,
Together with the Earth and the Sea
Sorrow
Asks about it
cruiser Aurora".
Telman
Asks about this
you.
Ask the villages,
Squeezed by burning.
The sun
Like a bell
He is buzzing in the sky!
Asks from the future
Gagarin.
You
You can't rise -
is he
Will not take off.
They ask
Your unborn children.
Asks history! ..

And then
got up
lieutenant.
And stepped down the planet,
shouting out of the charter:
"Aida!"
Got up
And went to the enemy,
How blind.
(Immediately became wet back)
The lieutenant got up! ...
And stumbled
On a bullet
Big and hard,
Like a wall
He shuddered,
Like from the winter wind.
He fell slowly
Like a chant.
He fell for a long time ...
He fell
instantly…
He even shoot
did not have time!
And for him came
Continuous
And endless silence ...

How this battle ended -
don't know.
I know,
than ended
This war &
