these Words:

When my heart is sore
And cold in the chest,
To the steps of the Hermitage
in the twilight, You come,
Where without drink and bread,
Forgotten centuries
Atlanta hold the sky
On the hands of stone,
Atlanta hold the sky
On the hands of stone.

to Keep his colossus —
Not honey.
Strained their backs,
the Knees is reduced.
Their hard work
more Important than other works:
Of them weaken who-то —
And the sky will fall,
Of them weaken who-то —
And the sky will fall.

In the darkness cries of the widow,
Polygonal fields
And will be a purple mushroom,
And over Land.
And the sky from year to year
All presses harder
is Shaking it from the hood
Rocket ships,
is Shaking it from the hood
Rocket ships.

they Are guys
Chiseled body,
is Set when-то,
And the change never came.
the light of the day is not happy,
the night can not sleep,
Their beauty shells
Spoils of the war,
Their beauty shells
Spoils of the war.

they Are forever,
Resting foreheads in trouble,
are Not gods — people,
Accustomed to work.
And live in the hope
Until that time,
Atlanta is the sky holding
On the hands of stone,
Atlanta is the sky holding
On the hands of stone.
