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

Spring waters went away...Translated by Akbar Muhammad.

Spring waters went away,
And when the land dried out,
The frights came to the square —
And to the sky came clouds.

A fright sits on a fright
And drives it with another freak,
But lots of people like
These ugly monsters’ deeds.

1966.
