Gentlemen democrats of the past century
|
We would really like to resurrect you all
|
For you to look at our successes
|
Well, we managed to thank you
|
We would everyone who expressed gratitude with something
|
A threshing machine is a collective farmer, a worker is a key
|
Enemy of the people - with a pickaxe, with a prosthesis - an Afghan
|
Well, I would light someone up with a brick
|
Like this, like this
|
America lives with Europe
|
Like this, like this
|
Well, we are all through ...
|
Gentlemen democrats of the past century
|
And why were you furious, threatening the throne
|
After all, nature is not a fool and God is not a cripple
|
Well, you hit him in the neck, but you can't
|
Maybe you wanted to fix everything at once
|
Only haste is needed when hunting for fleas,
|
And nature cannot create by order
|
And it's quite clear, neither can God
|
Like this, like this
|
America lives with Europe
|
Like this, like this
|
Well, we are all through ...
|
Lord Democrats, did you know the examples
|
When your colleagues perpetrated terror
|
Exterminated the color of the nation with the sword of Robespierre
|
And Paris to this day washes away the shame
|
Truth-lover Radishchev after that meat grinder
|
Travel from St. Petersburg to Moscow
|
I almost burst out of annoyance, damaged my mind
|
And, scolding the Masons, plunged into melancholy
|
Like this, like this
|
America lives with Europe
|
Like this, like this
|
Well, we are all through ...
|
Gentlemen democrats, hasten to rise again
|
Come out to the court of the fooled masses
|
Let Chernyshevsky and Herzen answer for everything
|
Both the dreamer Belinsky and the sage Karl Marx
|
Let those who came after you answer
|
Survive from the people and joy and sadness
|
And the free Slavs were turned into slaves
|
And they turned Great Russia into a prison
|
Like this, like this
|
America lives with Europe
|
Like this, like this
|
Well, we have everything through
|
Through hardship to the stars |
