На что мы тратим жизнь? На мелочные ссоры,...

What do we spend our lives on?
On petty quarrels,
To silly words, empty talk
On vanity of resentment, on malice - again and again.
What are we spending our lives on ...
But it’s necessary to love ...
We burn life to the ground for nothing -
For tedious things, unnecessary worries ...
For the sake of society, we come up with masks ...
What are we spending our lives on!
And it would be necessary to caress ...
We spray life into the gloomy boredom
On the "image" and "prestige", unnecessary science,
For lies and boasting, for free service.
What do we spend our lives on? ...
And it would be necessary for friendship ...
We are in a hurry somewhere, we are mining something.
We are looking for something — and we are losing more;
We save everything - gold, rags and silver ...
What are we spending our lives on!
But it would be necessary for good ...
We worry, shout, suffer for nothing;
With the seriousness of a funny little thing, we choose.
But no matter how many you guess, you’ll choose the wrong one.
What are we spending our lives on ...
And it would be necessary for a dream ...
We are afraid of joy, we are afraid to believe in fairy tales,
We are afraid of dreams, and tenderness, and affection;
We are afraid to love, so as not to bother ...
What are we wasting our lives for ?!
And you just have to live!
