Eduard Asadov — You sigh very often...

You sigh very often: ‘It’s easy for fools,

They live under heaven that’s clear!’

Or say in a temper: ‘It’s good for the brutes,

They always succeed what they gear!’

Of course, a fool’s road is always in ease,

But don’t try to humbug your soul:

Would you be agreed to live life a fool lives,

Tho’ his fate is easy, in whole.

And would you agree to take scoundrel’s place –

To rob or to drown some person?

So, why do you stand with such furious face?

I think, you have fathomed the lesson! …
