Текст песни "Krokodil"

"Krokodil"

[Russian:]

Скоро стану добычею тленья
Тяжело умирать, хорошо умереть
Ничьего не прошу сожаленья
Да и некому будет жалеть

Я дворянскому нашему роду
Блеска лирой своей не стяжал
Я настолько же чуждым народу
Умираю, как жить начинал

Узы дружбы, союзов сердечных
Всё порвалось: мне с детства судьба
Посылала врагов долговечных
А друзей уносила борьба

Смотрят со стен...

[English translation:]

I shall soon fall prey to rot
Though it's hard to die, it's good to die
I shall ask for no one's pity
And there's no one who would pity me

With my lyre I won no glory
For my noble family name
And I die as distant from my people
As the day that I began to live

Ties of friendship, unions of the heart
All are broken: from my youth
Fate has sent me foes implacable
While my friends all perished in the struggle

From the walls...

[Poem by N. A. Nekrasov]
