Poems and Songs of Vladimir Vysotsky. In a Faraway Kingdom.

When play cards the professional players...Translated by Akbar Muhammad.

When play cards the professional players,
In front of hearts lies down any suit.
Just so our vaunted twentieth century,
In the next one, will be in a bad use.

There happened an error in life science,
The learned men declared a big lie —
Expansion doesn’t go in a spiral,
It does in contravention and despite!

1978.
