Листья (Leaves)
«Листья» is a poem by Fyodor Tyutchev, cut in two pieces, taken from a Soviet book of stories, fairy tales, poems and riddles about woods, printed in 1975 from my childhood collection of books. The sounds of the door are recorded in the cellar of the house in Hegenberg, where I lived, with a synthesiser and a synthesiser sample from a Soviet animated film from 1978 about a little mouse. At the end: A hail cannon shooting repeatedly while a storm is approaching. Somewhere in the fields near Hegenberg.
Recorded by Kot Kot (Lena Filatova) in Hegenberg and Weingarten, Germany in 2014 and 2016.
Пусть сосны и ели
Всю зиму торчат
В снега и метели
Закутавшись, спят
Их тощая зелень
Скорее, скорей
Скорей нас сорвите
С докучных ветвей
Пусть сосны и ели
Всю зиму торчат
В снега и метели
Закутавшись, спят
Их тощая зелень
Скорее, скорей
Скорей нас сорвите
С докучных ветвей
