V.Vysotsky, We Had Suffered... - Translation (Rus.) Poem by Lyudmila Purgina

by Vladimir Vysotsky

We had suffered from war and hunger a lot,
Heard, eaten many an assurance,
And threw off the tzar, later -also
The provisional government's structure.

And if somebody is having a hope,
We could give him a notice:
Their time never could be returned -
We shall take a great care on this.

And we don't have time to the temporary power -
Since now we have the Soviet one.
Where are you? The provisional? Get down!
Your time is over now!
