Waltz outdated
Someone says , laughing ,
century saw
It fatigue and aging.
Shy , diffident ,
Slides over my first waltz .
Why can not I
I forget this waltz ?
Twist and Charleston ,
You filled globe ,
Waltz relegated ,
Wrongfully Accused ,
But lurking ,
He always and everywhere with me .
And he carries me
And shakes me
How vague wave.

laughing waltz
Over all modes century
And with us again
Dancing old Vienna .
And Strauss somewhere here
Sitting , probably
And the beat knocks mug ,
We are not grumbling .
Do not grumble ...

Waltz fought
He walked in a greatcoat , dusty,
Waltz hummed
About Manchu hills,
evoked a waltz
We sleep on the front fall .
And, as one front ,
He will not be forgotten .

Waltz around the campfire
Somewhere back in the forest now,
And Angara
Echoes worrying .
And until the morning
With us pine waltzing ...
Let the years pass ,
Still never
Grow old waltz .

Sings accordion,
Sings in the night gloom.
He is with us , waltz ,
In a cowboy , and not in a tailcoat .
Come for a waltz
Raise our jar!
And we pour it ,
Pour and sing .
And sing ...
Timid , did not dare
Slides over my first waltz .
Can never ,
Can never
I forget this waltz .
