Ваше Благородие

by Bulat Okudzhava, Булат Окуджава

Пътуващ музикант тръбата си целува,
един и същ мотив безсмислено звъни...
Не теб обича той, защо се развълнува.
Ела ме прегърни, ела ме прегърни!

Той вече трети ден в хотелчето скучае,
на грубото легло присяда час по час
и като чайник стар, когато кипва чая,
с тръба въздиша той, а те обичам аз...

About the author

Bulat Shalvovich Okudzhava (also transliterated as Boulat Okudjava, Bulat Okudjava, Boulat Okoudjava, or Okoudzhava; Russian: Була́т Ша́лвович Окуджа́ва, Georgian: ბულატ ოკუჯავა) (May 9, 1924 – June 12, 1997) was a Soviet poet, writer, musician, novelist,singer-songwriter. He was one of the founders of the Russian genre called "author's song" (авторская песня, avtorskaya pesnya). He was of Georgian-Armenian origin, born in Moscow and died in Paris. He was the author of about 200 songs, set to his own poetry. His songs are a mixture of Russian poetic and folksong traditions and the French chansonnier style represented by such contemporaries of Okudzhava as Georges Brassens. Though his songs were never overtly political (in contrast to those of some of his fellow "bards"), the freshness and independence of Okudzhava's artistic voice presented a subtle challenge to Soviet cultural authorities, who were thus hesitant for many years to give official sanction to Okudzhava as a singer-songwriter.
