Стихи Вознесенского - Тёмный лес
текст песни

Clear field, dense forest
In a forest clearing -
The devil is playing with dice
Yes, he shakes his horns

I see him grazing here
Clattering hooves
I'll turn around, now man -
With a wet face

Clear field, dense forest -
Path to the swamp
Who will go there in the darkness,
Will not return again

Lies sleepily on the grass
Yes, he will close his eyes,
The raven will peck them off
He will open the skull!

Worms will crawl into the belly,
Beasts will devour mortal flesh,
The yaga will take the bones,
To hang like horns!

Clear field, dense forest -
The path started
To the fast river
And there’s a girl running along that one,

Everything sings a melody,
Wants to have fun
She calls everyone to the bottom
Where the water is cold

Clear field, black forest,
Not a shadow to be seen
A ray comes down from the sky
Passing through the spruce trees

The face of the moon cut my hand,
The crown of the tree will receive the blood,
Resins flowed down the branch,
Oak frowned

Everything is quiet From the oak grove
The old devil came out
He sharpens the stiletto with his claws
Yes, he will stick it in the turtledove

You will be reborn
I'll just take your soul!
You'll have more fun
In your own hell!

Blood in a crimson stream
Intertwined with lichen and moss
Sweat poured dew into my eyes,
And the skeleton is withered

A new spirit reigns over the forest,
The old devil disappeared into the abyss
The animal's peace is unbreakable,
Unbreakable cycle

To Ivan, to Kupala
All the people will gather,
There will be death, a bloody feast
The guy and the girl will take the breath away

You crave death and a stiletto,
Blood on the trunk and summer
Do you just want silence?
Yes to a hungry winter

You won't be able to find peace!
The rustle of human feet -
Doesn't give you peace
Doesn't let you sleep

Clear field, dense forest
Everyone is bypassed
They don't want to wake Him up
Don't turn around from it!
