Ты читал мне мораль, я читала стихи,
В разнотравье сплетались вино и духи,
Я носила на пальце резной малахит,
Я наивна была и нежна;

А потом был апрель и улыбчивый май,
Я снимала кино, ты усталость снимал,
Отнимая меня, ты на грудь принимал,
Всё развеялось, кроме вина;

Я писала роман, ты писал полотно,
В жизни были мы врозь, а в любви заодно,
Только недостающее наше звено
Мы, увы, отыскать не смогли;

А в разгар безрассудства и лета разгар
Я носила на теле июльский загар,
Мы лечили ожоги и чувства угар,
Мы не знали тогда, что росли.

My poems were an echo to your reprimands,
In blurry haze of grass the wine would slowly dance,
My perfume was like malachite – as sharp as glance,
My digits were so clear…

And then there were both April and a smiling May,
I was into film-making, you led me astray,
And, pushing me aside, you took a dizzy way,
A  shade of wine was here;

My life was like a novel, canvas was your life,
In love we were united, but in deeds – a strife;
The element in question, an exotic drive
We couldn’t find that time;

And then, on peak of madness and a summer’s peak,
My suntan in July would ‘go ahead and speak’,
Our sunburns we’ve been healing, emblematic, weak
But hearts would build their shrines.

The original text is taken from the actress's official online pages and social networks and was published by Olga in 2020.

Olga Ershova is a young, multilingual, deeply gifted and sophisticated actress who has a brilliant experience in theatre and on the TV and also claims to self-direct many of her parts, including cameos.

Her approach to acting, creative writing and all the other forms of self-expression is a combination of emotional versatility, bravery, originality, tremendous willpower and intense critical thinking.
This rising star has a wide range of interests besides acting and is an empathic communicator, as well as an art/popular science polymath.

Olga's roles in her self-directed poetic plays differ much from her parts in commercials and short cinema, since these genres require knowledge and mastery of different methods, techniques and principles. Nevertheless, this is one of the rare cases in which the actress is worth full author control of her works and is seen to be more promising day by day.

Olga was born in Odesa, Ukraine and currently resides in Moscow, having fanbases in Ukraine, Russia, teachers and artistic trainers in the EU, the US and quite a significant travel experience.
