A Song For Lily (​Л​и​л​и​ч​к​а​)

from The Official Soundtrack For Staring At Your Ceiling by Michelle Milk

/

lyrics

Words by Vladimir Mayakovsky
Translation by Andrey Kneller and Michelle Milk
--------------------------------------------------------------

Лиличка!
(Вместо письма)
1916

Дым табачный воздух выел.
Комната -
глава в крученыховском аде.
Вспомни -
за этим окном
впервые
руки твои, исступленный, гладил.
~
Сегодня сидишь вот,
сердце в железе.
День еще -
выгонишь,
можешь быть, изругав.
В мутной передней долго не влезет
~
Сломанная дрожью рука в рукав.
Сломанная дрожью рука в рукав.
Руки твои, гладил.
Сломанная дрожью рука в рукав.
Руки твои, исступленный, гладил.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lilichka!
(Instead of a letter)
1916

Tobacco smoke eats the air away.
The room,--
a chapter from Kruchenykh's Hell.
Remember,--
by that window,
was the first time,
I caressed, stupefied, your hands.
~
Here you sit now,
with your heart in iron armor.
But tomorrow,
you'll scold me most likely
and tell me to leave.
~
Broken friendship, hands in my sleeves.
Broken friendship, hands in my sleeves.
I caressed, your hands.
Broken friendship, hands in my sleeves.
I caressed, stupefied, your hands.
