A man and a cat

As always, it sounds better in Russian. And the song actually has a happy tune. Which I guess makes this a very Russian song — sad lyrics, happy tune…

“Chelovek i koshka” (Человек и кошка) — A man and a cat

A man and a cat are crying next to a window.
Grey rain is dripping right on the glass.
To the man and the cat an emergency van is driving,
Poor man has spasm of his brain.

Doctor is driving, driving through snowy plains.
He is bringing curing powder to people.

The man and the cat will take the powder,

And the sorrow will retreat; sadness will go away.

The man and the man cat are counting days with difficulty,
Instead of a blue sky — gray ceiling.
The man and the cat are flying at night;
Only the non-prophetic dream does not allow for wings.

Doctor is driving, driving through snowy plains.
He is bringing curing powder to people.

The man and the cat will take the powder,

And the sorrow will retreat; sadness will go away.

Where, where, where are you, white carriage?
In the walls of a bathroom, the man is screaming.
But the walls do not hear him; pipes like veins.
And the toilet is ticking madly like heart.

Doctor is driving, driving through snowy plains.
He is bringing curing powder to people.

The man and the cat will take the powder,

And the sorrow will retreat; sadness will go away.

(From repertoire of the band Nol’ [Zero])

Thanks to my friend Henry G. who works with baby humans and adult ferrets.

P.S. No, it’s not about popularization of drugs. It’s about loneliness. Yes, I know what “P.S.” means.
