Old Jacket (Stariy Pedjak)

Ja mnogo let pidzhak noshu.
Davno potersja I ne nov on.
I ja zovu k sebe portnogo
I pereshit' pidzhak proshu.
Ja govorju emu shutja:
"Perekroite vse inache.
Sulit mne novye udachi
Iskusstvo krojki I shit'ja".
Ja poshutil. A on pidzhak
Ser'ezno tak pereshivaet,
A sam-to vse perezhivaet:
Vdrug chto ne tak. Takoj chudak.
Odna zabota najavu
V ego userd'e molchalivom:
Chtoby ja vygljadel schastlivym
V tom pidzhake. Poka zhivu.
On predstavljaet jeto tak:
Edva lish' ja pidzhak primerju
Opjat' v tvoju ljubov' poverju...
Kak by ne tak. Takoj chudak.

Old Jacket (Stariy Pedjak)

I've been wearing this jacket for many years.
It's worn out and no longer new.
So I call the tailor to me
And ask him to alter the jacket.
I tell him jokingly:
"Redo everything differently.
The art of cutting and sewing
Promises me new luck."
I was just kidding. But he takes the jacket
And seriously alters it,
And he worries the whole time:
What if something's not right. Such a strange man.
His one concern, in reality,
In his silent diligence:
Is that I look happy
In that jacket. While I'm alive.
He imagines it like this:
As soon as I try on the jacket
I will believe in your love again...
As if it were that simple. Such a strange man.
