Druzyam i sebe (“Tomato Juice”)
Words: Sergey Bogaev (the lyrics are in Russian)
Мой друг, художник и поэт,
Любил томатный сок,
Без сока он, как без любви,
Ни дня прожить не мог.
С утра стакан, в обед стакан,
За ужин целых два,
Часок любви, секунда сна,
А после - трын-трава.
Тонок волос у беличьей кисти,
Ещё тоньше художника нерв:
Не для славы и не для корысти,
И не ради напыщенных дев.
