You never agreed
To fly a Yak-Sorak
From Krasnoyarsk to Irkutsk,
So I went Îintouristâ,
Droplets of rain
Instead of snow
But the sky
As gray as can be
And then the flakes
Gentle, so gentle
White armor
To carry on your shoulder
And then the Vodka.
In a smaller machine
(If that is possible)
From Irkutsk to Bratsk
Through walls of ice
To Ustilimsk
In a Mitsubishi Pajero.
