Текст песни Александр Розенбаум - Романс генерала Чарноты

Once a sleepy in bed,
In the darkness of the night just knock stray hoof.
For a long time lying on the golden epaulets
Paris streets century-old dust.
    Brilliant fade officers.
    As they say, God, Give us this day
    It is not as refined manners -
    Only the bearing so honored.

I'm alive, my friend, rest and free,
But I often dream became a strange dream:
On the watering of cornflowers leads
The gray-haired knight batman beyond the horizon.
        Autumn morning hunting with hounds.
        Greyhounds trail, whipper cry.
        Thick fog descended on the marshes,
        Where to wait for their teterok capercaillie.

Who we are with you here, really?
One question is only one answer:
Mon cher ami, we are here with you, Michel,
There is no Fatherland and patronymic are not.
        Do not get used to the first blood to fight,
        When the stroke of the clock for the last time ...
        But, ladies and gentlemen, as you want to shoot
        Among birches middle band.
