To blessed memory of Yuri Yakovlev

Idols, idols ... They are so adored.
Quirks, sins are usually forgiven them.
They delight us with their talent,
They give us a lot of pleasant minutes.
But life, unfortunately, is so fleeting
And someone led her very carelessly ...
Having presented his bright talent to the whole world,
Our idols are irrevocably leaving us.

Idols are leaving - such talents
Someone - friends, and someone - relatives.
I feel sorry for them to tears and I’m not ashamed to admit.
They are not among us, what a shame!
But there was a time - they created, dared,
And after all, they proved something ...
Having presented his bright talent to the whole world,
Our idols are irrevocably leaving us.

The idols are leaving. Their niches are empty.
Such as they will not replace others.
They leave completely, so the gunpowder is out,
But everyone is still dear to us.
Shining during life, they went out like candles,
And some of them have become a legend forever ...
Having presented his bright talent to the whole world,
Our idols are irrevocably leaving us.

The idols are leaving. I don't want to believe.
The idols are leaving. Sadness cannot be measured.
They leave, having established and glorified themselves.
They leave, leaving their trace in history.
