Landis, sorry!I only now saw how many comments I put in the morning. There was problem with script , so I received many times reply that comment can be sent and I tried few times and didn't control. In fact they put all these comments HA-HA! Cancelled all!
Landis, I found the Youtube channel of "Russia Today" TV channel. I think, it is more comfortable for you. They have there all main videos and you can find immedeatly what you are interesting in.
Control yourself - http://www.youtube.com/user/RussiaToday
Hope, this will be useful!

Landis, hello! Thanks for your letter..
Landis , I found this clip yesterday on Youtube and there was the translation. Unfortunately, I don't know who did this, because it is very good in my opinion. My English is 10 times worse than this person has so I would never do some translation for poetry only in other direction- from English to Russian.
Have a nice time!

Я не люблю

Владимир Высоцкий

(Из спектакля "Свой остров")

Я не люблю фатального исхода.
От жизни никогда не устаю.
Я не люблю любое время года,
Когда веселых песен не пою.

Я не люблю открытого цинизма,
В восторженность не верю, и еще,
Когда чужой мои читает письма,
Заглядывая мне через плечо.

Я не люблю, когда наполовину
Или когда прервали разговор.
Я не люблю, когда стреляют в спину,
Я также против выстрелов в упор.

Я ненавижу сплетни в виде версий,
Червей сомненья, почестей иглу,
Или, когда все время против шерсти,
Или, когда железом по стеклу.

Я не люблю уверенности сытой,
Уж лучше пусть откажут тормоза!
Досадно мне, что слово "честь" забыто,
И что в чести наветы за глаза.

Когда я вижу сломанные крылья,
Нет жалости во мне и неспроста -
Я не люблю насилье и бессилье,
Вот только жаль распятого Христа.

Я не люблю себя, когда я трушу,
Обидно мне, когда невинных бьют,
Я не люблю, когда мне лезут в душу,
Тем более, когда в нее плюют.

Я не люблю манежи и арены,
На них мильон меняют по рублю,
Пусть впереди большие перемены,
Я это никогда не полюблю.
