Poems and Songs of Vladimir Vysotsky. Our Life Has Lots of Edges.

He’d gotten whatever wanted...Translated by Akbar Muhammad.

He’d gotten whatever wanted —
Enjoyment, laugh and fun,
But, as the saying goes,
God hates a greedy one.

It was enough for him
To get nor this nor that,
And all has disappeared,
There’s nothing in his hand.

1965.
