The lizard

Георгий Арустамьян
It`s rainy summer morning,
I`m lying in my bed:
One beer`s just my longing -
I`m not right in my head.
I`m dizzy and alone -
You left my heart forgood.
My soul`s like a stone,
But out of the wood.

Because you left me, honey,
And feelings left me too.
Today I won`t be sunny -
It`s only too true.
I`m looking at my drawings,
My books and my guiter.
And I don`t need false coins,
And so you are far.

I lent you my tomorrow,
Someday you`ll pay it back,
But now I`m in sorrow,
I`m tired like a hack.
But I won`t give a party
For rigid bitter truth
And sing a song of parting,
And drown in the blues.

It`s time for this bonfire
To put an end to pain -
The flame is not a liar,
And I won`t rack my brain.
And I don`t need a wizard,
And I don`t need an elf -
I`ll turn into the lizard,
I`ll turn into myself!
