the hand on the shoulder

Плутонный Трактор
“Te invito a bailar un bolero…”

well, I should have guessed time ago
with catching your damn crafty glance!
you have not take your alcohol
but cheeky invite me to dance.

and everyone’s staring and waiting
for show
for I had not danced since my schooltime –
you know it!

but you put your hand on my shoulder
so gently, provoking, and sure
for I’ve just decided to hold on
in this decent way touching you

and maybe the world will not go
like it goes
but hold me and lead me the way
you suppose

well, smile, keep on mocking
but don’t take your hand
off my shoulder
for I’ve never sensed of
that flame and want to
a bit longer!
with every step further
I’m learning again to
react –
know, you are the only
who really can make me
do that.
