gloria in excelsis

слова Б. Окуджавы, музыка И. Шварца

the age of 'а' horse-guard-man is not long, and so sweet is therefore.
the trumpet trumps, the curtain's turned back, and sabers' sound is heard on.
the trumpet voice still goes rumbling, but our captain is asaddle.
you should not promise the young maiden eternal loving on this earth.
you shall not promise the young maiden eternal love while on this earth.

in vain you try to prolong, laughing, the peaceful fun and cheery games.
no real glory can be mined until the real blood is shed.
no matter how fine's world's nature, there is the worry on the face.
you should not promise the young maiden eternal loving on this earth.
you shall not promise the young maiden eternal love while on this earth.

the champagne flows like a river, the gaze is going slightly haze.
and everything seems to be near, and everything seems be for ages.
a cross of wooden or cast-iron is destined for us in the next.
you should not promise the young maiden eternal loving on this earth.
you shall not promise the young maiden eternal love while on this earth.
