No, I don't need it


Talking about who doesn't care about whom,
I'm nothing more than just a crush for him.
My consistency is his fickleness,
And we swim against the current.
 
If only I could undersand,
If only I could feel that he needs me.
But no! But no, no, no, no, no!
 
Chorus:
But no, and I don't need it!
I don't need it and it doesn't matter,
I'm done burning myself with sparks
In flame of years!
No, I don't need it! I don't care about the course of his thoughts,
I'll stretch out my hand, and he seems so close to me ...
But I don't need it, no!
But I don't need it, no!
 
Forgetting that the same thing happened before
I throw myself in his arms.
And his smile is my weakness, and that's all,
There is nothing behind it
 
If only I could understand,
If only I could feel that he needs me.
But no! But no, no, no, no, no!
 
Chorus: x2
But no, and I don't need it!
I don't need it and it doesn't matter,
I'm done burning myself with sparks
In flame of years!
No, I don't need it! I don't care about the course of his thoughts,
I'll stretch out my hand, and he seems so close to me ...
But I don't need it, no!
But I don't need it, no!

DJ

Once on one of our town streets stood a merry house.
Tape recorder sang in there, spinning tapes to rouse.
Joyful, full of life DJ smiled like brewer's horse at play.
He's the soul of party night, slowly said without a slight:
'Just for you, grandpa,
There'll be Zappa.
And for you, baby,
ABBA - a wee bit.
And for you, young jock,
There'll be hard rock.'
 
But to this old merry house, villain came on back,
Threatened everyone with carnage, called for folk hopak.1
But the gathered common folks don't let him to run his hoax.
Having started fighting crowds, he behaved like hero proud,
Hurling tapes to every corner,
He crushed speakers with his forehead.
Some were clapping their hands and some were jumping out of skin.
So it all has turned up something like hopak with din.
 
We don't like to praise folks who behave like that.
But there was no boredom: that night didn't fall flat.
They all had a good time as they could, didn't sit,
Sacrificing hands, sacrificing feet.
Ta-da-da-day!

Russian dolls

There's three of us, like the musketeers.
No news from d'Artagnan yet.
Three like the primary colors.
On the podium, we share gold, bronze and silver.
The achievements we'd like to write home about1
Each of us will grant you a wish, we are fairies, you twat2!
One of us has put the big bad wolf on ice at home3.
We are threezophrenic4, made of weird cells.
Three little chicks in the middle of the storm, out of control.
A new three-part work that has to be completed like a Tetris.
Extreme satyres, coming from a battle on Venus
but each of us protects the others like Russian dolls!
 
Like Russian dolls, like Russian dolls
Like Russian dolls, like Russian dolls
 
Like Russian dolls, like Russian dolls
Adversaries of the romantic attitude like legionaries led by Pyrrus5
Like Russian dolls, like Russian dolls
We being sisters is not only a pretence, if you think so you're being lazy.
 
Prey for all an all for three6, the result won't evolve.
Invulnerable when the birds of prey fly, despitethe spasms we hold our rank and place.
We are inseparable like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.
Even if it was a heaven-sent, no way one of us would buzz alone.
 
We are always out of time but we want the world and we want it now.
Careless utopists, we rush down life's slope off-piste.
In a bad mood, we might have thought we were no good,
beyond the wall we build up Valerian7 steel characters.
You know us, prepare for another damn stanza.
There will be three of them, and inseparable like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.
 
Like Russian dolls, like Russian dolls
 
Like Russian dolls, like Russian dolls
Adversaries of the romantic attitude like legionaries led by Pyrrus
Like Russian dolls, like Russian dolls
We being sisters is not only a pretence, if you think so you're being lazy.
 
You'd have loved us to spare your life in the arena.
No peck on the cheek from the king, we want the queen's jewels8
As one since childhood, between us no striking days.
If the first one falls, the second one catches her, and the third one helps her up.
 
Hush! We're haveing fun, we should show that we're working hard...
 
Like Russian dolls, like Russian dolls
Adversaries of the romantic attitude like legionaries led by Pyrrus5
Like Russian dolls, like Russian dolls
We being sisters is not only a pretence, if you think so you're being lazy.
 
  • 1. a laborious pun based on 'ça ne casse pas trois pattes à un canard' (it doesn't break three legs of a duck) meaning 'it's nothing to write home about'. She says '[there's three of us, like] the number of duck legs we'd like to break'
  • 2. ??? might be some subcultural reference I'm missing
  • 3. ??? I don't really get it. Some feminist private joke, I guess
  • 4. ??? invented word whose wittiness eludes me
  • What a pile of convoluted nonsense...
  • 6. 'one for all and all for one' turned into a word salad
  • 7. yep, the pain-in-the-ass guy in Besson's flop, and a nice comics character if you care to read them. Complete nonsense here, just anoter laborious rhyme
  • 8. back to the 3 musketeers, apparently
This translation does not claim to be of any particular value.
Glad if you liked it, sorry if you didn't.
You can reuse it as you please.
Glad if it's for knowledge or understanding, sorry if it's just for money or fame.

Orosz Rulett

Felnéztem a füsttel teli szobában
Éreztem, ahogy nőtt a feszültség
Ez az éjszaka épp csak elkezdődött
Szóval itt jövünk!
 
Csak érezned kell az energiát
Csak tudnod kell, ki az ellenség
Éhezünk az adrenalinra
Mindjárt megőrülünk, meglátod
 
Elő a fegyverekkel
Szeretjük a veszélyt
Egy, két, há'
Csak húzd meg a ravaszt
Csak egy golyó maradt a tölténytárban
Hát játszunk egy kis orosz rulettet
 
Ejtsd el
Engedj el mindent legbelül
Ereszd el a belső szörnyeteget
Ez a játék épp csak elkezdődött

The rubber hedgehog

Through the aspen grove
On his friend's, the little puppy's name day
went the rubber hedgehog in his bright red hat
and a squeaky hole on one side.
 
The hedgehog had an umbrella for rain
and a hat and galoshes
He met the ladybug on the head of a flower
And gently bowed to her
 
'Greetings, fir trees! Why are you so prickly?
Really, do you think we're a pack of wolves?
You should be ashamed! It's disgraceful
To be poking each other'
 
The sky is brilliant, the clouds pure white
On the little puppy's name day
And the hedgehog ambled along, whistling
From the hole on one side.
 
'Dear little bird, please fly down
See, you've lost a feather
In the red alley, where the maples are blushing
You can find it in the lost and found'
 
The sky is brilliant, the clouds pure white
On the little puppy's name day
And the hedgehog ambled along, whistling
From the hole on one side.
 
All the long way went the hedgehog
And what did he bring his friend?
He only told Vanya, squeaking in the bathtub
from the hole on one side.

Bitter Frost, Deep Frost

Versions: #3
Bitter frost, deep frost,
Don't bite me, I plead!
Do not freeze me please, do not freeze my steed.
 
Do not freeze me please, do not freeze my steed,
Do not freeze my steed, white-maned pure breed.
 
Do not freeze my steed, white-maned pure breed,
For I've got a wife - green-eyed one indeed.
 
I have got a wife, lovely like a belle,
She awaits me home, struck by sadness spell.
 
I will come back home when the day recedes.
I'll embrace my wife and will feed my steed.
 
Bitter frost, deep frost,
Don't bite me, I plead!
Do not freeze me please, do not freeze my steed.

Angel

Starting a path is always easy,
And ending is difficult.
You've been invited to circle of chosens,
You prefer to be encircled.
 
There is no deep in emptiness,
An upward road is burning in fault flame.
 
This power, leading the land,
Aiming to keep the battle,
But in combat of life
Everybody fight themselves.
 
A blast is growing up all over the earth,
One for all, as a symbol, as a gush:
 
Angel with a burned wing is crossing your world
He is turning solid curves of borders to a dotted lines,
Easily proving security of all states,
Angel with a burned wing - envoy of Fire power!
 
Everybody are in black, but not in mourning,
Just feel a vague pain.
In the world of digits and counting
Zero is the leader
 
This areas are increasing a gloom,
No way out from tenacious paws
 
Angel with a burned wing equalizes the first and the sixths,
He is the last who looks in the eyes, reflecting in them,
Redeeming in fire every pride of the zeros,
Angel with a burned wing - pain of Fire, ray of Love in the earth!
 
Starting a path is always easy,
And ending is difficult.
You've been invited to circle of chosens,
You prefer to be encircled.
 
There is no deep in emptiness,
An upward road is burning in fault flame.
 
Angel with a burned wing is laughing to beast's face
Encircling every pride of this world,
Playing, he cancels every whim of earth
Angel with a burned wing - the last argument of Love!
Angel with a burned wing - the gift of Sky, eonian of Sky!

Go ahead!

Go ahead! Don't turn aside and don't fall
If you fall - get up!
And your cherished goal
Will be a prize for you
 
I sail for unknown distant spots
Blizzards and storms can't scare me!
I ride a horse in the desperate fight
I am at the Pole too!
 
I sail across the blue ocean
I dig coal out from under the ground
I am walkin' down dangerous roads
I'll give my life for what I love!

To vaccination!

'Go to vaccination, the 3rd class, the 3rd class, the 3rd class!'
Did you hear this? It's for us, it's for us, it's for us!
I'm not afraid of injections. If it's necessary, I will prick!
They call us to vaccination, guys.
 
Only a coward is afraid
To go to a doctor for a vaccination.
Personally, if I see a syringe,
I will smile and joke.
 
'Go to vaccination, the 3rd class, the 3rd class, the 3rd class!'
Did you hear this? It's for us, it's for us, it's for us!
I'm not afraid of injections. If it's necessary, I'll prick!
They call us to vaccination, guys.
 
I am coming one of the first
Into the medical room,
I have nerves of steel,
Or I even don't have any nerves!
 
'Go to vaccination, the 3rd class, the 3rd class, the 3rd class!'
Did you hear this? It's for us, it's for us, it's for us!
I'm not afraid of injections. If it's necessary, I will prick!
They call us to vaccination, guys.
 
If only anyone knew
That I would willingly exchange
My tickets for football
To an additional prick of injection!
 
'Go to vaccination, the 3rd class, the 3rd class, the 3rd class!'
Did you hear this? It's for us, it's for us, it's for us!
I'm not afraid of injections. If it's necessary, I will prick!
They call us to vaccination, guys.
 
Well, the prick of injection is no big deal, oh, it's nothing,
The doctor will prick me, and I can go...
Why have I stayed against the wall?
My knees... are shaking...
 
'Go to vaccination, the 3rd class, the 3rd class, the 3rd class!'
Did you hear this? It's for us, it's for us, it's for us!
'Go to vaccination, the 3rd class!' They call us, guys.
'Go to vaccination, to vaccination, the 3rd class'
It's for us...

The Ditties of Babiagas'

Harmonic, stretch your waves!
Hey, play without stopping!
Babiaga1, sing your ditties!
Sing them, don't speak!
 
I was tipsy,
And I was flying on a broom,
Despite of I myself don't believe
In these superstitions!!
 
I was walking on forest side,
A devil began to follow me,
I thought that it was a man!
What the hell's going on here?
 
When I turned home,
The devil again was following me.
I spat on his bald patch
And told him to go to the wood goblin!
 
The storyteller-villain
Is the most harmful from people.
Oh, he was a skilful liar,
But it's a pity that he was unsavory.
 
Harmonic, stretch your waves!
Hey, play without stopping!
Babiaga, sing your ditties!
Sing them, don't speak!

Ay, ne, ne, ne, ne

I will go to the valley
I will look into the sky
And with a motley scarf
My plaits I'll tie.
Ay, ne, ne, ne, ne, ne,

Where now would I look
Into the friends eyes,
A cherished, dear song
To sing for him tonight?

But doesn't bring any joy

Not the same at all.

Merry-Go-Round of My Love

Merry-Go-Round of My Love, why do you keep turning?
Merry-Go-Round of My Love, why don't you stop?
I faced happiness today
 
Some day, you'll stand next to her and then you'll tell me:
'Please stay, because I feel I'm longing for you'
Somehow, it seems to be good for me, but I'll never know
What I myself am going to do then – and what are you going to do?
 
Merry-Go-Round of My Love, why do you keep turning?
Merry-Go-Round of My Love, why don't you stop?
Today, I faced happiness
 
A summer's day filled with flowery scent – did it only happen because
My heart used to believe in it at all?
A game of shadows in the evening light and a feeling of happines
That will stay around for us and benumb us
 
Merry-Go-Round of My Love, why do you keep turning?
Merry-Go-Round of My Love, why don't you stop?
 
Merry-Go-Round of My Love, why do you keep turning?

Karabas Barabas

Oh, I have a terrible headache
Pinocchio didn't let me sleep again
I won't tolerate it anymore
All the night he demanded some key
 
There were “ha-ha”s and “hee-hee”s all the night
Pierrot declamed poems till the morning
Cries, screams. mess...
Sometimes it seems to me I am going crazy
 
(Karabas Barabas)
My life is an eternal torment
(Karabas Barabas)
I am so tired of these dolls
(Karabas Barabas)
The same thing happens a thousand times
(Karabas Barabas)
Karabas Barabas
 
My life is just a nightmare
Artemon bit off a piece of my beard
I hear guitar sounds again behind the window
Malvina has crowled into old shoe
 
I don't understand how I live
Pierrot is lost in the closet because of love
He doesn't eat and drink for the third day in a row
He walks in the dark and sings serenades

My life is an eternal torment

I am so tired of these dolls

I want to love you so much

I miss you so much.
Where are you and how are you?
And I won't hold back my sorrow,
Won't hide my pain inside.
 
I want to hug you so much,
To touch your eyelashes,
And then to turn into a bird,
To take wing and to wait for a new meeting.
 
I want to love you so much,
To cuddle you up to me and to forget about everything,
And to wake you up every morning,
By touching your lips.
 
I'll never give up,
Life won't become worse without you.
But I really need you
Today, tomorrow, always.
 
I want to love you so much,
To cuddle you up to me and to forget about everything,
And to wake you up every morning,
By touching your lips.

A Doll with a Human Face

Versions: #2
The world is as if divided into two
Behind a blue window
Weeps quietly a sexless mannequin
A doll with a human face
 
The lonely nights
He asks the sky for one thing:
To make a fire burn in his heart
From the original spark
 
To make it sweet
To make it hurt
To repent afterwards
And so weeps the sexless mannequin
A doll with a human face
 
He will become a tumbleweed
He will wait for the fire of hope to die out
To exchange one glassy captivity
For a thousand of others
 
And while he is chained by silence
Behind a blue window
Weeps quietly the sexless mannequin
A doll with a human face

Are once again preparing the Tzar's throne for us,
But from the Taiga to the British Seas
The Red Army is stronger than all

So let the Reds
Grasp authoritatively
Their bayonets with their calloused hands,
And we all should
Without restraint
Go forth into the last deadly battle!
 
Red Army, march march forward!

Indeed from the Taiga to the British Seas
The Red Army is stronger than all!

Churches and prisons we level to the ground.
Indeed from the Taiga to the British Seas

Why did you answer to my love?

Than wouldn't beat so fast again my heart.

Your sweetheart is calling you, do come,
The golden time will only disappear,
So why are you not coming, my desired one?

Tenderly taking me by the hand and kissing on and on...
Oh. dear friend, my gentle my desired one!
And my heart is singing a joyful song.

Along the Murom Tract Road

Along the Murom tract road three pine trees stood chagrined,
My darling bid his farewell to me until next spring.
 
He crossed his heart and swore that just me alone he'd love,
That he would not forget me in faraway wild lands.
 
He mounted his horse and [then] he hurried to depart,
Just sadness and despair he left in my sick heart.
 
On one occasion I saw a terrible night dream,
My darling married someone, he broke his pledge to me.
 
I laughed at this bizarre dream, I told my girlfriends that
It really can't be true that he could forget me, brat!
 
But soon my dream has come true, and in the early spring
My darling has returned with beauty wife and ring.
 
I stood at city gates when he passed across the town,
His glance found me in crowds of people all around.
 
He saw my bitter tears and lowered eyes in shame,
The love rat realized that my life went up in flames.
 
Along the Murom tract road three pine trees stood chagrined,
My darling bid his farewell to me until next spring.

The Best Future


There is a sound that comes from the most beautiful distant,
It is the dew at the break of dawn.
A bright future makes me energised,
And I jump in joy as if in my childhood days.
 
REFRAIN:
Ah, the best future, do not be grim to me!
Don't be grim to me, don't be grim!
I will start from zero to get to the best future,
To the best future, even if the road is long.
 
There is a sound that comes from the most beautiful distant,
It is calling me to go to my wonderful homeland.
I hear it questioning me sternly,
How would I my duty for tomorrow?
 
REFRAIN
 
I swear to be pure and kind,
To share joy and sorrow with my friends.
I want to fly quickly to that voice
To embark on a road never travelled on before.
 
REFRAIN

I'm a nasty piece of work

I'm a nasty piece of work, I'm revolting
I've eaten lots of toadstools and I'm going to play dirty tricks
I'm such a bully, I love shouting and swearing
I'm a nasty little child, an awful little shit
 
I have four teeth and eight necks
Big lips that go from ear to ear
I've been on a diet for many years
I eat cockroaches for dinner
 
I put them in a pot
Dissolve them in acid
Then I eat this meal
And the gas cooker too!
 
Because I'm a nasty piece of work, I'm revolting
I've eaten lots of toadstools and I'm going to play dirty tricks
I'm such a bully, I love shouting and swearing
I'm a nasty little child, an awful little shit
 
Black eye? That's me!
Microbial infection? That's me!
Graffiti on the fence? That's me!
Shoes that give you blisters? That's me, me, me!
 
If you need any dirty tricks
The bully is here
You goon! You loudmouth!
That's what the girls call me.
 
Because I'm a nasty piece of work, I'm revolting
I've eaten lots of toadstools and I'm going to play dirty tricks
I'm such a bully, I love shouting and swearing
I'm a nasty little child, an awful little shit

There is cosiness and beauty in the cannibal's home
Meow, meow, meow... Congratulate meow, please!
The modest cat has won in the end.
 
Meow, meow, meow...
Congratulate this smart and brave, but modest cat!

Golubi letyat nad nashey zonoy (Голуби летят над нашей зоной)

Голуби летят над нашей зоной,
Голубям нигде преграды нет,
Как бы мне хотелось с голубями
На родную землю улететь.
 
Но забор высокий не пускает
И колючек в несколько рядов,
Часовые с вышек наблюдают,
И собаки рвутся с поводов.
 
Вечер за решёткой догорает,
Солнце тлеет, словно уголёк.
На тюремных нарах напевает,
Что-то напевает паренёк.
 
Он поёт, как трудно жить на свете
Без красивых ласковых подруг,
А ещё труднее жить без воли,
Вся тюрьма заслушалася вдруг.
 
Плачут в дальних камерах ребята,
Вспоминая молодость свою,
Вспоминая прошлое когда-то,
Как говорили ласково - люблю.
 
Даже самый главный надзиратель
У стены задумчиво стоит,
Только он один и знает
Сколько пареньку осталось жить.
 
А под вечер вздрогнули засовы,
Повели по лестнице его,
Он сказал последние три слова -
Приведите сына моего.
 
На площадку лестницы тюремной
Привели парнишку лет пяти,
Он кинулся на шею с криком - папа,
Папа, ты с собой меня возьми.
Он кинулся на шею с криком - папа,
Папа, ты с собой меня возьми.
 
Вечер за решёткой догорает,
Солнце тлеет, словно уголёк,
А под утро вся тюрьма узнает -
Ночью был расстрелян паренёк.
 
Голуби летят над нашей зоной,
Голубям нигде преграды нет.
Как бы мне хотелось с голубями
На свободу к маме улететь.

Romance Doubt

Calm down, the swells of excitement,
Get rest, lonely heart that lost all hope,
I'm crying, I'm hurting, my soul's grown so tired of estrangement!
 
I dream of a happy opponent,
He haunts me, persistent and fearsome,
My envy is burning, is boiling with malice in secret!
 
The sorrowful time will be over,
Again we'll embrace one another,
With passion and fervor the heart will pulsate, resurrected...

Cats' song

Mice and fleas know that you shouldn't mess with cats
Let dogs know that their hours are numbered
We feel hatred for them
Give us a sign and we'll catch all the dogs
Let's turn a kennel into the glue factory today, guys!

And Maybe It Was Not Me

Versions: #3
And maybe it was not me - so be still
But my heart pounds on by itself without me
And its sinews split asunder themselves
As though a scattering of light
But maybe it's so, or maybe not...
But maybe it's so, or maybe not...
 
And maybe it was not me - tell (me)
But the blood, it runs like a river amongst the rocks
And its vessels split asunder themselves
As though a scattering of light
But maybe it's so, or maybe not...
But maybe it's so, or maybe not...
 
And the floe and the fever will touch you - hold on, come to
A serene and simple hand flipping through the days
And its strands split asunder themselves
As though a scattering of light
But maybe it's so, or maybe not...
But maybe it's so, or maybe not...

You burn my bonfire, burn

Versions: #2
Who needs the legends about God?
We are not blind you and I!
Our gods are those roads,
That leading to the deadly fight.
 
Chorus:
Trying hard the drum,
The bugle signalled, roll-call is on,
And among us there are no lazy ones.
You burn my bonfire, burn
My comrade and my friend,
My companion.
 
Everyone for themselves, but we're going only forward,
Towards the light of the fire, through darkness and hell,
Farewell mum, farewell dad,
My little sister, farewell.
 
Chorus:
The flame flares up
In to the wind and vastness it had gone,
To be the first in time we'll learn.
You burn my bonfire, burn
My comrade and my friend,
My companion.

Pink elephant

Where baobabs came to a slope,
Pink elephant was living in the meadow.
Maybe he was a little bit gray.
Shoes he was wearing size 100.
 
Smart tigers, silly jackal
Were moving quieter if he was asleep.
He was a little baggy on the outside.
Kind ears, gentle gaze.
 
But days of change came.
A cunning hunter captured him.
And in a zoo on a dull day
He became an ordinary gray elephant.
 
Beasts laugh, joke about him:
'Oh so handsome! Gray as a home!'
The elephant smiled, the elephant forgave them.
But for some reason the elephant became sad.
 
It's a waste to feel down, there's no trouble!
I know you are pink!
Maybe, accidentally somewhere in a dream
You leaned against a gray wall.
 
My kind elephant, I'm sorry,
Life has gray days.
The sun will give dawn soon,
It will paint skin pink!
It will paint skin pink!

Marching off to the cinema

Today we are joyful walking down the street
Grown-ups smile when they meet us
An ice lolly is so tasty today
It's great that our class is going to the cinema
 
The real cinema is better than TV
Everyone in our class agrees with that
Your friends are always with you
You feel bored at home with your parents
 
At night grown-ups enjoy watching
People kiss each other over an hour on the telly
In the cinema you can tell your friend that it's rubbish
But you should keep silent when you are at home
 
The real cinema is better than TV
Everyone in our class agrees with that
We so long dreamed about this beautiful day
Today our class is going to the cinema

A song of a little train from Romashkovo

A big field, a green forest...
So many roads and ways in spring
 
It's so good to live in the world
Shy, the sun!
Wish us a good way, the wind!
A good
A good
A good way!
The most, the most,
The most good way!
 
Everything is interesting, wherever you look
A harmonious song sounds over the world
 
It's so good to live in the world
Shy, the sun!
Wish us a good way, the wind!
A good
A good
A good way!
The most, the most,
The most good way!
 
A big field, a green forest...
So many roads and ways in spring
 
It's so good to live in the world
Shy, the sun!
Wish us a good way, the wind!
A good
A good
A good way!
The most, the most,
The most good way!

The Soul

In a cemetery, shrouded by mist, a shadowy soul wandered,
Along with a storm it howled at the moon, dragging its wings.
And for the spirit to rise above the earth there was no strength,
For a burden within was much too heavy.
 
It had flown away into wild joy and had failed to return,
It was about to grieve when it was buried in the snow,
Oh, the spirit went beyond limits, distending its body...
And, alas, the Russian Man had given it his complete trust.
 
By death crushed, by life beaten,
The herd of horses of our senselessness
Along the precipice flies,
By chance, at random.
 
Likewise, in all of Russia wander unrepentant spirits
The souls of those whose will failed to restrain them,
Those who cared only for themselves, in mirrors having admired their greatness.
 
Indeed, they tried to conquer and break the life-branch.
 
By death crushed, by life beaten,
The herd of horses of our senselessness
Along the precipice flies,
By chance, at random. Yes.
 
So many years, and nothing has changed, we fill unease with unease,
Overseas we search for the sparkle of a copper coin.
Would it not be truly profitable to raise our gaze, if only for one minute
And witness the burning inside of the soul.
 
By death crushed, by life beaten,
The herd of horses of our senselessness
Along the precipice flies,
By chance, at random.
