За что боролись – на то и напоролись
Чем лечились, тем и отравились
С чем носились, тем и укололись
Чем гордились, тем и заглумились.
На кого уповали – от тех и пострадали
Кого любили – тех и погубили
Кого искали – тех и потеряли
Кого рожали – тех и хоронили.
Считали – веселились
Подсчитали – прослезились.
Было счастье, да Он унёс!
Кого боялись – тому и попались
Куда не стремились – там и очутились
Над чем глумились, тем и застебались
На что опирались – тем и удавились.
От кого не ожидали, от того и получили
Чего жевали, тем и поперхнулись
Чем заболели, тем и лечились
Чем дышали, тем и задохнулись.
Гуляли – веселились
Упились да взбесились.
Было счастье, да Он унёс!
For that fought for it and ran
What was treated, the more poisoned
What they rushed about, so they pricked
What they were proud of, so scorned.
On whom they trusted - from those who suffered
Whom they loved - they also destroyed
Whom they sought, they were lost
Who gave birth - they buried.
Believed - had fun
Calculated - wept.
There was happiness, yes He carried away!
Whom they were afraid of - they were caught
Where did not strive - there and found ourselves
What they scoffed at, so they quipped
What they relied on was strangled.
From whom they did not expect, from that they received
What they chewed, they choked
What got sick, the more they were treated
Than breathed, so suffocated.
Walked - had fun
They were drunk and furious.
There was happiness, yes He carried away!
