Music: Dmitri Shostakovich
Lyrics: Yevgeny Yevtushenko
Some with shawls, some with scarves,
as though to some heroic enterprise or to
work,
into the store one by one
the women silently come.
Oh, the rattling of their cans,
the clanking of bottles and pans!
There's a smell of onions, cucumbers,
a smell of Kabu
