эстер китс - Тахикардия - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

my heart was beating slowly, as if

a child in no hurry

was walking along the curb of an unknown street to no one knows where

and he didn't care whether there was a metro nearby, or adults,

or a store where they sell lollipops for three

and chewing gum for two, all made of dyes

and rubber and something else bad,

but just as children who are in no hurry

don't perceive nastiness as nastiness

and don't see the dirt in the hearts of their parents,

so I was in no hurry one day

in the midst of rush hour on the main

of all the avenues in St. Petersburg, and suddenly my heart

began pounding with mad love at the speed of

the clatter of the wheels of a metro train,

in which this child was passing under me

to his private school, late for a math lesson,

just like him, I didn't see how homeless people fall in the mud and mothers insulted by their husbands fall to their knees,

and their children look blankly with eyes

on the tears of adults and are in no hurry,

because cartoons are at three fifteen,

and now it’s only morning and eight.

i was just as blinded as he was,

but not by the slow beating of an indifferent child's heart,

admiring colors, not shades,

but more sincerely admiring

than the heart of an adult, enthusiastically reading

brodsky with an individual expression

and an expression on his face as if he himself were brodsky...

i was blinded by a desperately pounding heart,

ready to jump out of my chest,

break out onto the avenue and be trampled

by someone's gucci boots, or converse sneakers,

or something else alien that we value more than our own,

i pressed both hands to my chest so that my heart would not jump out,

and I could not explain to myself whether I was more honest than a child

who was explaining to the teacher at that moment

that he was late for class because some people

asked him if he minded if they touched him...

i don't know if i am honest in front of him, explaining his pounding heart with love, and not with a medical diagnosis - tachycardia.
