| Эй, ёу! | Hey, you! |
| Ё! Ё! | Yo! Yo! |
| |
| Догорали мосты, переваривал сам: | The bridges smoldered out; alone I bore their ash, |
| Я же подпустил эти беды к нам. | For I myself unbarred these sorrows to our threshold. |
| Ну так это карма, догадайся сам. | So goes the law of fate—unravel it yourself. |
| Голова - пустырь, торопись отнять. | My skull: a barren field—be quick to reap its yield. |
| |
| И пока давила боль, допивал до дна | And as the pain pressed in, I drained the glass entire, |
| Этот алкоголь, но не мог понять: | This bitter draught, but sense eluded me: |
| Барабан - да, тут; барабан - да, там; | The drum—yes, here; the drum—yes, there; |
| Барабан уснул навсегда. | But now the drum has closed its eyes for good. |
| |
| Мама, я не миновал. Эти тучи вновь | Mother, I did not slip by. Once more, these clouds |
| Нависали неприятелями над головой. | Hung heavy, enemy banners above your brow. |
| Нечего сказать - потеряли сердца, | Nothing remains to say—our hearts mislaid, |
| Караван остыл, караван устал. | The caravan grown cold, the caravan grown weary. |
| |
| И покуда не понять тебе, как вывозить - | And still you cannot grasp how one endures— |
| То ли дело поломали, потеряли мотив | Is it the loss that broke us, stilled our song? |
| Как-то задеть это небо рукой | Somehow, to brush this sky with a living palm |
| Пока ты жив. | While you yet draw breath. |
| |
| It’s time to use my colors, in my my head. | It is time to wield my colors, within the galleries of thought. |
| I feel like the world is going insane. | I sense the world is tumbling into madness. |
| Now it’s a day, I’m so ashamed | Now daylight breaks; I am so ashamed |
| Of the person I was, or the person I am. | Of the man I was, or the man I remain. |
| |
| It’s time to use my colors, in my my head. | It is time to wield my colors, within the galleries of thought. |
| I feel like the world is going insane. | I sense the world is tumbling into madness. |
| Now it’s a day, I’m so ashamed | Now daylight breaks; I am so ashamed |
| Of the person I was, or the person I am. | Of the man I was, or the man I remain. |
| |
| It’s time to use my colors, perhaps I was blind - | It is time to wield my colors—perhaps I wandered blind— |
| Blind and my heart, can’t see a side. | Blind, and my heart unable to choose a shore. |
| And now I run from myself | And now I flee my own pursuing shadow, |
| From the thoughts to the thoughts inside my head | A fugitive from thought to thought within my mind. |
| Is that a crime to be afraid? | Is it a crime to shudder in fear? |
| |
| Who knows the real me, | Who knows the core of me, |
| The real love, the real deal; | The true love, the genuine spark; |
| Who’s loves with arms wide open | Who loves with arms thrown open |
| With arms wide open. | With arms thrown open. |
| |
| So, I have no time to loose now. | So I have no hour left to squander. |
| Don’t get mad when I pure lie. | Do not scorn me when I speak sheer lies. |
| I ain’t gonna hang out, my track. | I shall not stray, nor leave my winding path. |
| I ain’t gonna let down. | I will not betray. |
| |
| It’s time to use my colors, in my my head. | It is time to wield my colors, within the galleries of thought. |
| I feel like the world is going insane. | I sense the world is tumbling into madness. |
| Now it’s a day, I’m so ashamed | Now daylight breaks; I am so ashamed |
| Of the person I was, or the person I am. | Of the man I was, or the man I remain. |
| |
| It’s time to use my colors, in my my head. | It is time to wield my colors, within the galleries of thought. |
| I feel like the world is going insane. | I sense the world is tumbling into madness. |
| Now it’s a day, I’m so ashamed | Now daylight breaks; I am so ashamed |
| Of the person I was, or the person I am. | Of the man I was, or the man I remain. |
