В чем вина двух святых?
Вы не верите в них.
А они - также святы.
Отошли, отреклись,
Запретили им высь.
В чем они виноваты?
Что грехом не сочли
Изменить прежний лик,
И сквозь дрязги, упреки и ругань
Просто, без лишних слов,
Сняли нимбы с голов
И... как кольца надели друг другу.

What is the fault of the two saints?
You don't believe in them.
And they are also holy.
Send away, renounce
They have forbidden them to rise.
What are they to blame?
That was not considered a sin
Change the old face
And through squabbles, reproaches and swearing
Simply, without further ado,
They took the halos from their heads
And ... how the rings were put on each other.
