You are thrown down by the force of fate,
|
You are humiliated and crushed
|
Time to forget who you were
|
But remember who you have become...
|
Thrown to the bottom, where it doesn't matter
|
Why did you love fame.
|
Meanness puts a stigma with fire,
|
Your soul is empty...
|
People at the bottom are prowling in the darkness,
|
They are ready to eat each other
|
If only to prolong the wild life,
|
Grab yourself a piece.
|
Your own among them, greedy and evil,
|
You are in the same flock rushing in a circle,
|
With them you crawl under the knife of the law,
|
Like a slave, not a prophet!
|
Oh, if I could only listen to silence
|
Not lies, not flattery, not midday and not darkness,
|
Melting snow under the sun
|
To love without knowing change -
|
You would have died of evil anguish!
|
Chorus:
|
Hey people of the sky!
|
Who hasn't been to the bottom yet?
|
Without going through the underworld
|
You can't build paradise!
|
Hey bottom dwellers!
|
Thunder laughs at you:
|
To be equal with him,
|
There is only one way - up!
|
But a bright beam will flash in the brain,
|
And humility will knock out with a wedge,
|
The past days in the soul will come to life -
|
A new sin will be committed.
|
Blood on the hands, blood on the stones,
|
On bodies and miserable backs
|
Those who are ready to die in slaves,
|
You're rushing up again...
|
Oh, if I could only listen to silence
|
Not lies, not flattery, not midday and not darkness,
|
Melting snow under the sun
|
To love without knowing change -
|
You would have died of evil anguish! |
