Гарик Сукачев - Жил я с матерью и батей
текст песни

I lived with my mother and father on Arbat - it would be like that here! -
And now I’m on the bed in the medical battalion - covered in bandages...
What glory to us, that we have Klava - the nurse - and the white light!..
My neighbor on the right has died, the one on the left has not yet.

And one day, as if in a frenzy, the neighbor on the right told me
He says: “Listen, guy, you don’t have a leg.”
How so? It’s not true, brothers, he was probably joking!
“We’ll only cut off our fingers,” that’s what the doctor told me.

Only the one on the left kept laughing, kept joking,
Even if he was delirious at night, he kept talking about his leg.
He mocked: “If you don’t get up, you won’t see your wife!”
You should look at yourself, comrade, from the outside!

If I were not a cripple, but climbed down from the bed -
I would just rip the throat out of the one on the left!
I begged my sister Klava to show me what I had become...
If the neighbor on the right were alive, he would tell me the truth!..
