Владимир Высоцкий - Песня о Госпитале
текст песни

I lived with my mother and bate
On Arbat, - in the way.
And now I'm in Medsanbat
On the bed, all in the bandages.
What we are glory that we are
Nurse and white light!
Died my neighbor that on the right
The one left is not yet.
And one day - as in the fourth -
That neighbor that left, me
Suddenly said: - Listen, guy,
You have no legs.
How so! Like, brothers!
He probably joked?
- We will reminge only fingers, -
So my doctor spoke.
But the neighbor, which is left,
Everything laughed, all joked.
Even if the night delirious -
All about the leg spoke
I mock: they say, do not stand!
You will not see, they say, wives!
Would you glance, comrade
On yourself from the side.
If I was I'm not a cripple
And got out of bed down
I am who left
Just a sip of overseas!
Because sister clan
Show what I became.
A neighbor would be alive that on the right, -
He would tell me the truth ...
