| За окном калина, как пожар красна,
| Outside the window, the viburnum is red like a fire,
|
| В проволоке колючий забор.
| There is a barbed fence in the wire.
|
| Над забором вышка, строгая вохра,
| Above the fence there is a tower, a strict vohra,
|
| Гонит из барака на двор.
| Drives from the barracks to the yard.
|
| Припев:
| Chorus:
|
| Быть босотой не просто нам,
| Being barefoot is not just for us,
|
| На дорогам, краю земли,
| On the roads, the ends of the earth,
|
| Вот и выдумал остров я,
| So I invented the island,
|
| Под названием журавли.
| called cranes.
|
| По этапу не гонят там.
| They don't drive there by stage.
|
| И не катит там беспредел,
| And chaos does not roll there,
|
| Покурил на отбое план,
| I smoked a plan at the end,
|
| И на остров тот полетел.
| And he flew to the island.
|
| Не пиши мне писем, лучше приезжай,
| Don't write me letters, better come,
|
| Может быть свиданку дадут.
| Maybe they'll give you a date.
|
| Год идет посылка в наш забытый рай,
| A year is sending to our forgotten paradise,
|
| Где под небом сосны растут.
| Where pine trees grow under the sky.
|
| Припев:
| Chorus:
|
| Быть босотой не просто нам,
| Being barefoot is not just for us,
|
| На дорогах, краю земли,
| On the roads, the edge of the earth,
|
| Вот и выдумал остров я,
| So I invented the island,
|
| Под названием журавли.
| called cranes.
|
| По этапу не гонят там.
| They don't drive there by stage.
|
| И не катит там беспредел,
| And chaos does not roll there,
|
| Покурил на отбое план,
| I smoked a plan at the end,
|
| И на остров тот полетел.
| And he flew to the island.
|
| Осень наступила по реке шуга,
| Autumn has come along the sludge river,
|
| Огоньком согреется друг.
| A friend warms up with fire.
|
| Тянутся составы, все на севера,
| Trains are pulling, all to the north,
|
| Ну, а птицы клином на юг.
| Well, the birds are a wedge to the south.
|
