Текст песни Иосиф Бродский - Aqua vita nuova

Aqua vita nuova

F. W.

Whisper & quot; Goodbye & quot; God knows whom.
Not a ghost just right, do you think
then that he is ready to play along,
in response to an empty palm has not filed.

And this is as it were a new feature:
triumph did not vote, but the mouth,
as disclosed for fish
silently bubbling & quot; A & quot ;.

Aquarium recognized comfort,
where no tears poured and the songs do not sing,
where the air dangling hand
acquires the properties of the fin.

So you overcame views
limb somknuvshiesya Nereids,
of our water vyprastyvaya eyebrow
I write about what grows cold blood,

pain density area cerebellar
outgrown. That the memory of the pupil
do not poke. Pain, shutting up his mouth,
internal organs screaming.
