My Margarita

Science fuss, knowledge thrill,
Symposiums' rancid avocado,
Concepts and debates' trill -
I hate such a bravado.

Аll's empty. Neither warm nor clean.
The world's disgusting as decades advance.
The tree of life is no longer green*.
And all my best is to abort the dance.

But suddenly... oh Margarita, you appeared.
The ecstasy and pain of the rejected feeling.
Gaudeamus igitur, iuvenes dum sumus!**
Oh Mephistopheles, have mercy, give me healing!

But no answer from eternal forces.
Lord and Satan keep silence far beyond.
The sense of life with common sense divorces.
The wall of age gives outrageous respond.

Oh Margarita! My eternity! My frenzy!!
All abysses of world thrown at your feet!
So sweet's the feeling of eternal power!
But gods do not approve such a deceit.

The own is to everything! Sunrises and sunsets.
The battle alarm of hopeless dreams sounds.
Blessed is the sense of loss, the joy of agonizing suffer,
That neither you nor me surrounds!
