Based on "Who by Fire" by Leonard Cohen
Кто-то сгорит в пожаре,
Кто-то утонет в пруду.
Тому станет плохо на майской лужайке
А этому – ночью, в чаду.
Одних унесет цунами,
Другие - об угол виском.
Но кто это делает с нами?
Выбор этот – на ком?
Кто-то – на белой подушке,
Кто-то – под кислотой.
Кто-то в алчном удушье,
А кто – над тарелкой пустой.
Этих сшибет лавиной,
А этих – другим «снежком»
Но кто к нам придет с повинной?
Промах этот - на ком?
По воле случая или
Бесстрашно приняв свой крест.
В бессилии или в силе,
В финале – один, как перст.
Кто – от руки Любимой,
У кого – не дрогнет своя.
Но чей это жест незримый
Зовет и зовет меня?
Кто-то сгорит в пожаре...

Оригинал:
And who by fire, who by water
Who in the sunshine, who in the night time
Who by high ordeal, who by common trial
Who in your merry-merry month of may
Who by very slow decay
And who shall I say is calling?
And who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate
Who in these realms of love, who by something blunt
Who by avalanche, who by powder
Who for his greed, who for his hunger
And who shall I say is calling?
And who by brave assent, who by accident
Who in solitude, who in this mirror
Who by his lady's command, who by his own hand
Who in mortal chains, who in power
And who shall I say is calling?
