М. Горький - НА ДНЕ. Акт 4. Фрагмент 4 - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

Be silent! You are all brutes! Dubye... keep quiet about the old man! (Calmer.) You, Baron, are the worst of all!.. You don’t understand anything... and you’re lying! The old man is not a charlatan! What is the truth? Man - that's the truth! He understood this... you don’t! You are dumb as bricks... I understand the old man... yes! He lied... but it was out of pity for you, damn you! There are many people who lie out of pity for their neighbors... I know! I read! They lie beautifully, inspiredly, stimulatingly!.. There are comforting lies, reconciling lies... Lies justify the weight that crushed the worker’s hand... and blame those dying of hunger... I know the lies! Those who are weak at heart... and those who live on other people's juices need lies... some are supported by it, others hide behind it... And who is his own master... who is independent and does not eat someone else's things - why does he need lies? Lies are the religion of slaves and masters... Truth is the god of a free man!
