Energy!

Versions: #1
Come on now and work it!
 
Are you drunk enough or you want some more?
The Russians will be there after today's march
Let's start exchanging energy,
Come on y'all, get your asses moving!
 
Move those shoulders (ooh yeah!)
Now hands and feet, (ooh yeah!)
Move hips in a circle, (ooh yeah!)
That it's we've overcome the language barrier!
Are you ready to break down the wall?
Do it now, crack the bone till it falls
Let's run around
Lift off the ground
 
Energy! (x4)
 
There's a battery in your body,
The voltage rises to 5,000 watts,
Soon the energy exchange will begin,
All who are here, who are with me, repeat it with me...

Send me a greeting

Send me a greeting when you are far away
Oh oh oh darling
And write to me, telling me that you miss me every day
Oh oh oh darling
Write to me from the beach, where all the palm trees are,
telling me that we will see one another soon
 
Send me a greeting when you are going to Honolulu
Oh oh oh darling
And write to me, telling me that you would much rather be by me side
Please write to me soon, and I'll be happy again,
Since you know I love you so
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Every day
Oh oh oh oh oh
I would like to say to you
 
Write to me from the beach, where all the palm trees are,

Oh oh oh darling
Please write to me soon, and I'll be happy again,
Because you know I love you so
Oh oh oh oh oh

I fell in love (Forever - forever ...)

'I fell in love'
(Forever, forever ...)
 
I fell in love, in your eyes - forever (Forever)
And how to live without you now, tell me? (Tell me?)
Forgive me for not being able to save us (Save)
I fell in love, in your eyes, and you, and you? (And you?)
 
You deceived me (Deceived) gave me hope (I have hope)
That was your game, but for me it was a dream
Unexpected Action (Unexpected Action), Unfinished Drama (Unfinished)
I was one step away from saying: 'My love'
 
I fell in love, mom, she is that same lady
In the dark she burns like light, I love her - she is not
I fell in love, mom (I fell in love, mom), she found me herself (She found me herself)
Changed the world in me (In me), I love her - she does not (No-no)
 
I will hug you like it's the last time
I want to stop time (Time)
 
I fell in love, in your eyes - forever (Forever)
And how to live without you now, tell me? (Tell me?)
Forgive me for not being able to save us (Save)
I fell in love, in your eyes, and you, and you? (And you?)
 
Yes, we don't care who is there, what people say behind us
Don't even judge us and even try to understand
And if two souls want to be together, they cannot be changed
They themselves all decided to be near and trust
 
This (your) mole, sweet mole
It's like a light on you ( - in the sense of 'like a light came together on you like a wedge')
Tell me how you put up with me like this?
I know I was wrong
You will teach me to believe again, this is a gift, this is a talent
 
Yes, I'm blind, I don't see here, there's no one here but you
I need little, just to be with you - not to lose you
Yes, I'm rude, unbearable, I conveyed feelings for a long time
Anyway, there are many who want to ask for love
 
This (your) mole, sweet mole
I will hug you like it's the last time
I'm not looking for logic in these feelings
I fell in love with your eyes, now
 
I will hug you like it's the last time
I want to stop time (Time)
 
I fell in love, in your eyes - forever (Forever)
And how to live without you now, tell me? (Tell me?)
Forgive me for not being able to save us (Save)
I fell in love, in your eyes, and you, and you? (And you?)
 
I fell in love, in your eyes - forever (Forever)
And how to live without you now, tell me? (Tell me?)
Forgive me for not being able to save us (Save)
I fell in love, in your eyes, and you, and you? (And you?)

Pilóta, üdvözöld a napot

Északi-sarktól a Déli-sarkig
Csak egy (macskaugrásnyi) kőhajításnyira van
Repülünk az útvonalon
Minden időjárásban
Nem várjuk az indulást
Bármi történik
A szél és az időjárás miatt
Szól a pilóta dal
 
Pilóta, üdvözöld a napot
Üdvözöld a csillagokat
És üdvözöld a holdat
Az életed, az lebegés
Keresztül a messzeségen, ahol senki sem él

Gyorsabban és mindig gyorsabban
Vágtat a propeller
Pontosan ahogy nekem tetszik
A pilótáknak semmi nem tilos
Tehát teljes gáz és repüljük át a világot

Oraida-raida-oraida

Handsome Elbrus* peers through the clouds,
In a white papakha, in the blue.
This proud, mighty peak,
I can't get enough of it.
 
Oraida-raida-oraida,
Oraida-raida-oraida,
Oraida-raida-oraida,
Oraida-raida-oraida...
 
Snow leopards above Karachai,
Run quickly among the mountains.
Turbulently along the slopes you release
The waters of the Kuban into the open plains.
 
Oraida-raida-oraida,
Oraida-raida-oraida,
Oraida-raida-oraida,
Oraida-raida-oraida...
 
And on the open plains of the high mountains,
Higher than Caucasian clouds,
Songs can be heard - songs of our content, proud shepherds
 
Oraida-raida-oraida,
Oraida-raida-oraida,
Oraida-raida-oraida,
Oraida-raida-oraida...
 
Musical interlude.
 
Handsome Elbrus* peers through the clouds,
In a white papakha, in the blue.

I can't get enough of it.
 
Oraida-raida-oraida,
Oraida-raida-oraida,
Oraida-raida-oraida,
Oraida-raida-oraida...

Hey You, My Dearest Dear Guelder-Rose

Hey you, my dearest dear guelder-rose, my dear raspberry
Hey, don't you linger, linger upon a steep mountain.
 
Hey, don't you linger, linger upon a steep mountain.
Oh, do not let your leaves float off upon the blue sea.
 
Hey, don't you let your leaves float off upon the blue sea.
Oh, a ship is sailing on the blue sea.
 
Oh, a ship is sailing on the blue sea.
Oh, so as the ship is sailing, only the waves roar.
 
Oh, so as the ship is sailing, only the waves roar.
Oh, there are three regiments of soldiers on that ship.
 
Oh, there are three regiments of soldiers on that ship.
Oh yes, three regiments of soldiers, all young boys.
 
Oh, three regiments of soldiers, all young boys.
Oh, so there was one of them praying to God.
 
Oh, so there was one of them praying to God.
Oh, yes, he prays to God, he asks for a leave back home
 
Oh, so he prays to God, he asks for a leave back home
Hey, you, my dear Colonel, let me go home.
 
Hey, you, my dear Colonel, let me go home.
Oh, let me go home, back to our quiet Don.
 
Oh, let me go home, back to our quiet Don.
Oh yes, back to our quiet Don, back to my father, mother and my young wife
 
Oh, back to our quiet Don, back to my father, mother and my young wife
Oh yes, to my young wife, to our small children.
 
Oh, to my young wife, to our small children.
Oh, yes, to our small children, our fledgling falcons
 
Oh, to our small children, our fledgling falcons
Oh, yes, our fledgling falcons, our bright little stars.

Upon The Blue Rollers Of the Ocean

Upon the blue rollers of the ocean
The stars alone will shine in the sky
A solitary ship scurries along
Hurtling on at full sail.
 
None can hear the captain upon her,
No sailors can be seen aboard

Half-naked

Versions: #1
We catch bunnies in the sun
And we blow away the dandelion fluff
You and I, we are so very close
There is straight whiskey near by
You embrace me
I'm not afraid to be with you, but
 
Half-naked, we're falling in love
And on the floor just our voices proclaiming it
Half-naked, we're falling in love
And on the floor just our voices proclaiming it
 
We only have two minutes left
To remove all the traces
I'm with you for the last time
Like in the movies, barely breathing
 
And before you bang open the doors
Know that I have faith in you
 
Half-naked, we're falling in love
And on the floor just our voices proclaiming it
Half-naked, we're falling in love
And on the floor just our voices proclaiming it

Last Poem

I am floating away and time is taking me
from one edge to another edge,
from one shore to another shore,
from one shallow to another shallow.
Goodbye, my friend!
I know, some day,
from a distant shore,
from the faraway past,
the spring wind at night
will bring you a sigh of mine.
 
Just look, simply look,
look whether there is
anything left after me.
 
Amidst the midnight of oblivion,
on the faraway outskirts
of your life,
just look with no despair.
Just look with no despair,
whether it will appear as a flash,
whether it will appear as some unknown image
seeming to be accidental.
Will it appear as some unknown image
seeming to be accidental?
 
It's not a dream, it's not a dream,
it's the whole truth of mine,
it is the verity.
 
The death-conquering
eternal law is
the love of mine!

Dear Siri, Tell Me Now

'Dear Siri, tell me now,
Just the whole truth I'll allow:
Am I really the finest,
Rosiest cheeks, my face's the whitest?'
 
Siri answers to my scream:
'You should fix the color scheme.'

Sleep

Versions: #1
Sleep drift off to sleep, sleep my baby.
Sleep drift off to sleep I love you a lot
Sleep drift off to sleep, sleep my favorite.
Oh, but but but but, sleep my baby.
 
Sleep drift off to sleep, sleep my baby.
Sleep drift off to sleep I love you a lot
Sleep drift off to sleep, sleep my favorite.
 
Baby, speak about love to me.
I'm tired of my torment. take it away!
Come over here and give me a hug.
I'm a prisoner in your love
I'm flying away to infinity.
 
Baby, close your eyes. I'm right beside you.
The moonlight shows us the way
Where to turn where to go
You and I together, forever...
 
No need for extra phrases.
Let's forget everything in two shakes of a lamb's tail
It's time for me to take away your fear.
 
No need to repeat it.
Repeating it is a mistake
It's time for you to understand everything.

Invisible

Tell me who you really are,
and I will tell you who I am.
The rest is nothing but the movie props.
I'm leaving today
without looking at the monitor,
where these shots will be put on repeat yet more than once.
 
I'm walking in circles...
Who are we to each other?
One may repeat it a thousand times...
We must be rivals -
there's something agonizingly nervous
that is shrinking somewhere inside me.
 
There's neither pain nor joy, only fatigue.
And that's all, nothing is left of me.
I'm alone with my own shadow,
as if I'm invisible.
You left me neither inhale nor exhale.
Well, such is life, one plays with no rules here.
Nobody is defeated, nobody has won,
but it's not me, I'm invisible.
 
Tell me who you were.
Have I ever been to you something more
than just doubts caused by a few phrases?
Remind me how long ago
that ostentatious formal addressing me
became easier for you than to leave without raising your head.
 
We are ready to attack -
let's cross our swords.
Farewell to my December.
I will close it and hide it.
What else should I do?
One may repeat it a thousand times.
 
There's neither pain nor joy, only fatigue.
And that's all, nothing is left of me.
I'm alone with my own shadow,
as if I'm invisible.
You left me neither inhale nor exhale.
Well, such is life, one plays with no rules here.
Nobody is defeated, nobody has won,
but it's not me, I'm invisible.

One Can't Get Closer

Everything is
so wrong.
I can't explain anything.
Either there is nothing
to breathe with in here
or I am not able to love...
 
Stop!
It feels like the city has become empty for a moment
and unwillingly silent.
I freeze up,
striving into your lens
with all of my thoughts.
 
One can't get closer!
Tell me what it was.
Look straight into my eyes,
I haven't forgotten anything.
I know one can't get closer,
but I will comfort you.
Look straight into my eyes
with no regrets, with no pain.
 
Well,
try to surprise me.
Let's do without polite phrases.
Falseness
is the feeling of guilt -
this is always the case, but today I'll pass.
 
One can't get closer!
Tell me what it was.
Look straight into my eyes,
I haven't forgotten anything.
I know one can't get closer,
but I will comfort you.
Look straight into my eyes
with no regrets, with no pain.
* * *
 
I feel sorry for
this tenderness.
It will be lost in the frame, there's nothing to do about it.
Let it be
black and white sweet lies
that will remain of us.

Crush

[Verse 1, Dora]
Hello
But you walk by
I hide my smile
It's important for me, that you find out
Secret (secret)
Catch each one of my impulses
I'm not indifferent to you
But I'm not in love with you
 
[Chorus]
I just have a crush on you
Cracked, painted into
Lost my head
Crashed, got into (oy)
I just have a crush on you
Cracked, painted into
Lost my head
Crashed, got into
 
[Verse 2, Dora]
It's attachment, forgetfulness of myself
concern and weakness
It's an addiction, it's an attraction
Madness, mania, addiction
A mechanical process
Hormones will start to play again
It is just something in the head, yeah yeah yeah
What is mistakingly called love
 
[Bridge]
Lips, dopamine (dopamine)
Adrenalin (adrenalin)
They control me
So I'm sorry (Sorry, yeah)
But I don't love you
A, I just, have a crush on you, oy
 
[Chorus]
I just have a crush on you
Cracked, painted into
Lost my head
Crashed, got into (oy)
I just have a crush on you
Cracked, painted into
Lost my head
Crashed, got into

Trains

I'm with you so your flame doesn't go out.
To make our color range brighter
I would stay the most-most-most for you
But wake up early again
Frozen or not, it does not matter, because I am all glass.
As long as you only warm yourself up with a cold bath.
My problem is that I'm a constant...
But we're not in any way. (at all).
 
And once again, the last trains are going away
I have to run to a meeting in our places again.
Just don't go, please for the hundredth time.
I love you very much, you too, but not now.
And once again, the last trains are going away
I have to run to a meeting in our places again.
Just don't go, please for the hundredth time.
I love you very much, you too, but not now.
 
And here we are again far from home.
And I come back completely unfamiliar.
I don't think anything will remind you of me anywhere.
But I don't care anymore, because you're the one who's overwhelming me.
I can't catch you anymore and I don't care almost.
In a rush I swallow oxygen, hoarsely
I'm sorry I didn't have time to realize my dreams.
Where the two of us are in the same dream car.
 
Just take me where your headlights are looking.
I catch all the landscapes and forget the boulevards.
Millions of track options lead only to you or for free
Don't worry, I'm around, I keep the hearth and the gift.
 
Days and weeks were melting slowly
While I'm in a rush, I'm on the beach.
I'm running to tell you that you're with the wrong people.
To somehow brighten up your darkness.
 
In fact, I'd even be a shadow
Not yours, but your car.
Just to be there for you,
Without these races.
 
And once again, the last trains are going away
I have to run to a meeting in our places again.
Just don't go, please for the hundredth time.
I love you very much, you too, but not now.
 
And once again, the last trains are going away
I have to run to a meeting in our places again.
Just don't go, please for the hundredth time.
I love you very much, you too, but not now.
 
And once again, the last trains are going away

Koreans, forward!

In the menacing, decisive hour
Listen to the fatherland's order:
Beat the impudent intervents1
The truth, comrade, is on our side!
All hearts burn with wrath,
The exploit will glorify the fighter,
The homeland calls the brave.
Koreans! Forward, forward!
 
Chorus:
Into battle, into battle, Korean people!
The fatherland calls everyone, everyone.
Homeland, we serve you,
We will conquer peace in battle!2
 
You see the ruins of houses,
Ashes of our native cities,
Blood, tears and suffering
Of women, children, old people.
Warrior, people's hero!
Increase threefold the wrath of attack,
The homeland calls for revenge,
Koreans! Forward, forward!
 
Chorus.
 
The sacred oath is given, —
Our country will be free,
Thunder of cannons, howl of shells,
Will never again sound over it.3
Do not spare your life,
Firmly go forth to victory,
The homeland calls to glory,
Koreans! Forward, forward!
 
Chorus.
 
  • 1. the US invaders
  • 2. 'отстаивать' usually is translated as 'defend' or 'maintain', but that would sound confusing here. The intended meaning is 'We go to battle now so that we will have peace again'.
  • 3. literally: will become silent over it forever

The blue boat

I wake up and all I think about is the present
Tomorrow there's time
And it's no longer the usual September
Look how it's raining,
My heart in the shade will overflow
And I ask heaven for now
Even just one word
To describe silence
And his scream banging us in.
 
I stay here and I'm conscious
You look at it from a screen and it seems far away
that blue boat disappears forever
 
One-way ticket and go
The sea seems a little rough
But you won't suffer it
Sorry if I'm a little too cheeky
But I guess now I look back
I won't save you
You laugh well, he said, ma'am
But you'll be the last one to laugh again
As I ask you with my heart in my throat
Permission to escape now
 
I stay here and I'm conscious
You look at it from a screen and it seems far away
that blue boat disappears forever
 
How is your beauty based on nothing
 
That blue boat, it disappears forever
You look at it from a screen and it seems far away.
That blue boat disappears forever
Disappear forever.

Unhappy

Chorus:
Unhappy, innocent,
complex, taciturn...
You keep silent again, being patient.
Come on, my unhappy one.
 
Day after day, with no shame at all,
they lead you, defenseless, to the slaughter,
accompanied with the rolling bell ringing,
as if you being served in church in advance.
 
Your generous hands are roughly pecked
by the greedy kites.
Hopelessness and indifference
are thrown to your feet, as if handouts!
 
Chorus:
Unhappy, innocent,
complex, taciturn...
You keep silent again, being patient.
Come on, my unhappy one.
 
Your children have grown up to become troublesome.
They have quietly squandered what was left not burned out by them. Piece by pieces, greedily, by handfuls,
they keep grabbing and tearing their mother's heart.
 
Your open wounds are burning in the wind,
being sewn with white thread.
Your home is turned inside out,
but you are humbly silent, while being tortured.
 
Chorus:
Unhappy, innocent,
complex, taciturn...
You keep silent again, being patient.
Come on, my unhappy one.
 
* * *
 
The pangs of death and birth -
you've seen it all in your life.
You got burned with your ever-forgiveness,
got overflowed with it from bottom to the very top.
 
You will brush your brownish greying hair off your face!
Emboldened, you will cry out of helplessness,
being serenely faithful up to the end,
Russia!

The love of mine lives on the fifth floor

Versions: #1
It's the house, the same old house, we know each other well,
It thinks that I am nuts,
'He's here again to stand all night, to stay awake, to wait',
Under the cover of the night, I am looking up there where you are,
There is no higher height,
The streets are empty, the bridges are down, and (it's) only the cats (that) keep me company,
The love of mine lives on the fifth floor, (which is) so close to the moon,
The love of mine must be asleep by now - sweet dreams, my love,
The love of mine lives on the fifth floor...
 
The house is wrapped in silence, it's only the rain up above,
It might suggest it's time (for me) to go (back) home,
Well, I don't care about the rain and the night, but I really should figure out
Why I am standing here, what am I waiting for,
The streets are empty, the bridges are down, and (it's) only the cats (that) keep me company,
The love of mine lives on the fifth floor, (which is) so close to the moon,
The love of mine must be asleep by now - sweet dreams, my love,
The love of mine lives on the fifth floor...
 
It's getting to four a.m. (already), the moonlight has been turned off a while ago
It's time to weigh anchor
The day won't be enough for me again, but soon the city will turn its lights on
And the coming midnight will be the saviour of mine -
And I'll be here again to stand all night, to stay awake, to dream, to wait...
 
The love of mine lives on the fifth floor, (which is) so close to the moon,
The love of mine must be asleep by now - sweet dreams, my love,
The love of mine lives on the fifth floor...
 
The love of mine lives on the fifth floor, (which is) so close to the moon,
The love of mine must be asleep by now - sweet dreams, my love,
The love of mine lives on the fifth floor,
The love of mine lives on the fifth floor,
The love of mine lives on the fifth floor...

Freckles

[Verse 1]
The sun shines even to evil and bad
A man smiles, but he is a prickly hedgehog
Seeing you, here - my heart beats in a brawl
Agree, he and I will offer something similar for love
 
The wind lifts all our candy wrappers into the air
While in my head only you and concerts in the stadium
I don’t want to think that I can't become anything for you
But a freckle on the face
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Sunny girl with funny freckles
She asks not to fall in love, but they did not listen to her
The heart no longer believes in tender, warm confessions
And sweet kisses are now memories
 
Sunny girl with funny freckles
She asks not to fall in love, but they did not listen to her
The heart no longer believes in tender, warm confessions
And sweet kisses are now memories
 
[Chorus]
Sunny girl with funny freckles
She asks not to fall in love, but they did not listen to her
The heart no longer believes in tender, warm confessions
And sweet kisses are now memories
 
Sunny girl with funny freckles
She asks not to fall in love, but they did not listen to her
The heart no longer believes in tender, warm confessions
And sweet kisses are now memories
 
[Verse 2]
Tell me why everyone get crazy
From your wine-scented cherry lips?
Tell me why you dance alone
And why did you steal the guy's heart?
 
But where did I find you and why have I lost you?
Who am I going to sing to now what I wrote about you?
Who will I go to the cinema with at night (so far)
And why do we need it at all?
 
[Pre-Chorus]
After all, you and I will leave
And we'll never meet again
One day you and I will understand everything
And life will go different way
 
Girls will just love
And the boys will give them flowers, toys
And I will look at that all and be sad
Remembering you and your freckles
 
[Chorus]
Sunny girl with funny freckles
She asks not to fall in love, but they did not listen to her
The heart no longer believes in tender, warm confessions
And sweet kisses are now memories
 
Sunny girl with funny freckles
She asks not to fall in love, but they did not listen to her
The heart no longer believes in tender, warm confessions
And sweet kisses are now memories
 
[Transition]
S-sunny girl
Asks not to fall in love
The heart doesn't believe anymore
And sweet kisses
 
[Chorus]
Sunny girl with funny freckles
She asks not to fall in love, but they did not listen to her
The heart no longer believes in tender, warm confessions
And sweet kisses are now memories
 
Sunny girl with funny freckles
She asks not to fall in love, but they did not listen to her
The heart no longer believes in tender, warm confessions
And sweet kisses are now memories

The Last Fighting of ‘Varyag’

Cold waves‘re splashing and rising,
Breaking on that stone beach,
Where white seagulls are flying.
Grief is in their loud screams.
 
These gulls are rushing and darting,
For something made them alarm.
Listen! They hear the rumble
Of some explosions afar.
 
Look! In the Yellow sea waving
One Russian navy flag runs.
It’s the unequal last fighting,
They see the proud ‘Varyag’.
 
Its high strong mast has been shot down,
Its armor has been breached through
Its crew is still trying struggle on,
But foe’s strong and fire’s too.
 
You, white seagulls send a message
To the great world and it’s sad:
“Having not given up the vessel,
We fell for honour in battle.
 
Tell, we have never got down
Russian Andreyevsky flag ,
We ourselves blew ‘Koreyets’ up
We ourselves sank ‘Varyag’”
 
Cold waves‘re splashing and rising,
Breaking on hard stone beach,
Seagulls are flying to Russia
Grief is in their loud screams.

At the Belarusian

We meet at the Belarusian
Around the corner, near the descent
Without makeup, let it be
 
To all these stations
I told long ago
I tried, I wanted, I couldn't
 
I'll be late of course
You won't wait on purpose
We'd do everything in spite
It hurt, but it's over
 
I will have 5 minutes, it's enough
You will be back in 5 minutes
If it was a great couple
I would not believe in life
 
If we're lucky
I do not know yet
I'll make up my mind
I will make you up
 
If we're lucky
Exactly, of course
I'm travelling on yellow
To the final station
 
But what if we don't meet
Will pass through as if nothing had been
Will clutching greedily with our eyes
But won't even remember the name
 
And there won't be enough time, no
To say how handy you were And
I'll may be able to find
I'll still find you
 
If we're lucky
I do not know yet
I'll make up my mind
I will make you
 
If we're lucky
Exactly the same, of course
I'm travelling on yellow
To the final station

Final station, the train does not go further, please get out of the car

One Day

It was or it was not,
the night is defeated -
and there's a half of a dream
lying in my hand.
It got broken off
like a tight thread.
Feels like it's not destined to be...
Let it be so.
 
But one day - do you hear me -
I swear to you by all the gravitational pulls:
I can wait for these words and that day
when it's all over, with not even a shadow left.
And of course, you may not believe me.
Still, it's so, and no one will ever notice it,
but one day I'll wake up
being the happiest on this planet.
 
But I meet a sigh
which is like the howling wind.
Find me,
take me with you.
As the day melts,
there are swans in the sky.
Protect my light,
lead the way for me.
 
And one day - do you hear me -
I swear to you by all the gravitational pulls:
I can wait for these words and that day
when it's all over, with not even a shadow left.
And of course, you may not believe me.
Still, it's so, and no one will ever notice it,
but one day I'll wake up
being the happiest on this planet.
 
Now where should one look for
whether it was or it was not?
The smoke will turn gray,
covering the trail
and that sad ringing.
These are tears of happiness.
Be with me, if you want.
If you want, let me go.
 
And one day - do you hear me -
I swear to you by all the gravitational pulls:
I can wait for these words and that day
when it's all over, with not even a shadow left.
And of course, you may not believe me.
Still, it's so, and no one will ever notice it,
but one day I'll wake up
being the happiest on this planet.

The Concertina

Versions: #1
Talyanochka
 
All in a sunlit glade one day
A wide-eyed lad did play
Upon his concertina of
The girl that he did love.
He courted her on nights so clear
And warm, and he would buy
Such pretty little shawls for her
To remember him by.
 
Play us a song, play on, play on
Your concertina, lad
Tell us about the black-eyed girl
Who drove you mad.
Play us a song, play on, play on
Your concertina, lad
Tell us about the black-eyed girl
Who drove you mad.
 
When off to fight the dreadful war
The lad was to depart
Upon a dark and starry night
He offered her his heart.
She answered him in jest although
She was of him so proud,
“Come back home with an Army Cross
And then we'll work it out.”
 
Play us a song, play on, play on
Your concertina, lad
Tell us about the black-eyed girl
Who drove you mad.
Play us a song, play on, play on
Your concertina, lad
Tell us about the black-eyed girl
Who drove you mad.
 
The concertina was his friend
As he fought near and far
And at a battle's fearsome end
He won a Silver Star.
And then to him so far from home
A letter from her flew
That she would wait for him alone
A Silver Star would do.
 
Play us a song, play on, play on
Your concertina, lad
Tell us about the black-eyed girl
Who drove you mad.
Play us a song, play on, play on
Your concertina, lad
Tell us about the black-eyed girl
Who drove you mad.
 
Play us a song, play on, play on
Your concertina, lad
Tell us about the black-eyed girl
Who drove you mad.
Play us a song, play on, play on
Your concertina, lad
Tell us about the black-eyed girl
Who drove you mad.

Insomnia

Night, nobody has asked you
To fall down to us from the sky, being exhausted.
Staying here, in plain sight,
I do not hope, but I'm waiting...
Night, without any reasons,
Night, let's keep silent,
Swallowing dust and gloom.
Night, everything is wrong, not the way it should be!
 
She'll burst in*, violently taking the doors off their hinges,
Being pushy, she'll jump into someone's bed,
And brushing off the defiant strands from her face,
she'll say carelessly, - hello! I'm Insomnia.
Hello! I'm Insomnia.
Hello! I'm Insomnia.
 
The inhale is like a run into the abyss.
Night, I'm an ordinary person.
I'm broken, I'm tired
To be able to follow your ritual.
 
She'll burst in, violently taking the doors off their hinges,
Being pushy, she'll jump into someone's bed,
And brushing off the defiant strands from her face,
she'll say carelessly, - hello! I'm Insomnia.
Hello! I'm Insomnia.
Hello! I'm Insomnia.
Hello!
I'm Insomnia.

And the Paint Will Wash Away

And the paint will wash away,
Then holds on,
Working, creaking
Twisting the gears.
 
Flickering and then dark,
The sky begins to ring.
Don't think about it grinding,
Twisting the gears.
 
Everything that's around you,
Is living, just like you. 1
The remainder creaks too,
Twisting the gears.
 
Twisting the gears,
Twisting the gears.
Twisting.
 
  • 1. I think this is what they meant. I'll probs be lynched for it.

Young and Hungry

I will cross out everything with my firm hand
To start with a new line, with no commas...
But how many words I need - for the life of me, I don't know.
It is said they form flocks,
They gather into useless phrases, I hate them.
Stay where you are, don't get closer!
 
And promise, promise whatever you can.
Be braver to attack, you, young and hungry!
That's alright, you can be even tougher.
Yes, I am able to take the blow.
You shouldn't even know, because of whose ellipses*
Everything you used to love will be torn to pieces!
Kill me, so that someone loses.
 
Just request me. And if you want it,
I will curse the whole world.
And these voices are just one of the conditions.
Seriously, I remember fighting to the blood.
Both of us know how to play against the rules.
You know and I know.
 
You may promise, promise whatever you want.
Be braver to attack, you, young and hungry!
That's alright, you can be even tougher.
Yes, I am able to take the blow.
And it's better not to know, because of whose ellipses
Everything you used to love will be torn to pieces!
Kill me, so that someone loses.
 
You may promise...
You may promise...

Hey You, Steppe, How Vast You Are

Versions: #1
Hey you, Steppe, how vast you are
So wide, carefree
Hey you, Volga-Matriarch
Volga free-flowing
 
Hey you, Steppe, how vast you are
Steppe so wide, carefree
Hey you, Volga-Matriarch
Volga free-flowing
 
Oh, that's no steppen eagle there
On a fastest rise
That's a stream burlak
Going free and wild
 
Don't you fly, prey bird
Low overland
Don't you come, burlak
Close to river banks!
 
Hey you, Steppe, how vast you are
So wide, carefree
Hey you, Volga-Matriarch
Volga free-flowing

Show's Over

Versions: #1
Hands hooked, muzzles squared,
Under brows came sidelong glances.
He came to the shack,
To poison them with sausage.
 
Holding wine glasses sullenly,
Pouring one-at-a-time.
He came to the shack,
To poison them with sausage.
 
Credits roll, the show's over.
You run home barefoot,
To the shack,
To poison them with sausage.
 
The time comes and goes,
Cuts in with a sharp blade.
But here's someone in the shack,
To poison them with sausage.

Song of the destroyers on Leningrad front

We were created by Stalin,
Menacing destroyers, —
The country sends us to avenge our Motherlland.
He will not save himself inside armour,
The enemy will pay back thrice
His bill to my Motherland.
 
Chorus:
The destroyer wages battle —
The hordes of wolves are howling.
I have opened a deadly account
For the fascist rascals.
Beat! Beat!
Beat the fascists in the dug-outs,
Bury them in debris,
Beat them! Beat them!
With fierce revenge in the spirit,
Following Stalin's orders.
 
Stalin led the innumerable force
Out to victorious battle,
The enemy will not find any way back.
I'll well-aimedly send a bullet,
Avenge for my father
And for the tears and blood of children.
 
Chorus.
 
Burning with wrath towards the German,
Nikolaev beats the enemies,
Goličenkov moves them down by the hundreds.
The country will not forget
The names of the brave,
It'll retain them with love forever.
 
Chorus.
 
Growing is our army of the brave,
Like Smoljačkov the hero,
Like Pahomov, Rusinov.
We'll beat them until the end,
To exterminate the enemies,
To fullfill Stalin's order with honour.
 
Chorus.

The Pony Has A Long Forelock

When it's freezing or hot outside,
the pony goes to work at nine all the same.
The trolleybus from its trolleybus depot,
the bus from its bus depot,
are all set to bring us
to the gates of the zoo
to the gates of the zoo.
 
The pony has a long soft silken forelock,
he pulls the coach to such lands
as dad went to and mom went to
when they were just like me,
just like, just like me.
 
To there, where elephants and hippos,
orangutangs and other marvels dwell
planes fly once a week,
then ships sail for a week,
then all-terrain vehicles too,
while a pony ride just takes half an hour
while a pony ride just takes half an hour.
 
The pony has a long soft silken forelock,
he pulls the coach to such lands
as dad went to and mom went to
when they were just like me,
just like, just like me.
 
I'd like to ride the pony day and night,
I could become a granddad and yet not part with him,
I wouldn't part with him.
 
A plane always looks wonderful above the clouds,
and ships are each more beautiful than the last,
but it's not easy to hug a plane,
and it's not easy to hug a ship,
while it's so easy to hug the pony,
and it feels so marvellous
and it feels so marvellous.
