lot. A man has just reached his goal, and everything goes to hell! I remember a case like this... Oh, to hell with your cases! You're a case... They could use your head for a pile driver! Is that what they call a path? Hit the dirt! That was close. Listen, Lopakhin, where does the sergeant lead us? To the Don. I know that. But I mean, towards the bridge or what? More to the left of it. And how are we going to cross it? We'll jump. That's very funny. What makes you so grouchy all the time? You're not the only one who is in trouble. I get grouchy listening to your stupid griping all night. What did I say that's so stupid? Don't you know the enemy's bombarding the bridge? Sure, I know. You know it, but you still want to cross the bridge. Lay off with your stupid questions! It's bad enough as it is. And quit walking all over my heels! Why don't you put taillights on them? Then I wouldn't be stepping on your dainty heels. I'd rather put my dainty fist in your ugly face. - Stay at a distance! - I am staying at a distance. I don't call that a distance when you keep tromping on my heels. - Why are you rubbing up against me? - What the hell do I need you for? But you are! - Are you afraid of getting lost? - There you go sounding off again! I'm not afraid of getting lost, but I'm a little nervous about crossing that river. It's all right for you, you can swim, but I can't swim one stroke. Will you shut up for at least a minute? No, I won't! I may be dead in an hour or two, as soon as we're there. So I want to get things off my chest! There's even a law that says you have a right to, before you die. Stop moaning, you'll get across all right. How can I get across? Are you deaf? I keep telling you I can't swim. How am I going to get across? Even if I could swim, I'd sink with this load I'm carrying. You've put about 60 extra pounds of cartridges in my pack! No, I'm gonna drown, that's all there is to it! And why should I lug all this stuff right up to the last second? What's the point oftorturing myself before I die? When we get to the Don, I'll dump it all, I'll take my pants off and drown stark naked. - To be drowned naked is more natural. - You won't drown, turds float. That's exactly the case. So you'll be the first to get across, and I'll go to the bottom. I've run into some strange ones, but you take the cake. When we come to the Don, I'll give you my razor. I'm not a scrooge like you are. And when you shave, think of the drowned Alexander Kopytovsky. - Gimme the razor, there's a raft! - I'm gonna need it myself now. I'm alive again! The moment I saw that raft, I was born all over again. I'm returning your portrait I'm not asking for your love I send you no reproach nor regret With you forever I am in love. That's it... The lieutenant's dead. Comrade soldiers! My sons! My sons, look at the mist all around us. Black misfortune Iooms above us, just like the mist. Even at night our misfortune keeps us from sleeping and in the day it blurs the light of the sun. You and I can never forget it for one moment. Not now when we're burying our comrade, the last officer in our regiment. Not later when we may have a light moment during a break, with an accordion playing for us. We will remember it. We were retreating, my sons, but everyone knows how hard we resisted and at how high a cost. Count our fallen brothers here. We have nothing to be ashamed of when we look our people in the eye. Unashamed, though it will be hard! I'm an old man who has fought again and again. I've seen combat in four wars! I have faith: the new support forces are coming and we shall retrace the path we have come, only going towards the setting sun. The rumble of our steps will be like drums, Iike drums in the death march, and it'll make the solid earth shake! I hope you too, Comrade Lieutenant, will hear that ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Вспомнить всё на английском - текст В синем море, белой пене... на английском - текст Герой-любовник на английском - текст Дом на Трубной на английском - текст Бродячий Пес: Бронеотряд Церберов на английском |
