| I dream of a small city in the wilds of a great power,
|
| Children of political officers quietly play war.
|
| An orchestra plays waltzes on the dance floor,
|
| After drinking a little, the sailors dance in a circle.
|
| Taking the girls by the arms, they gracefully walk in the park,
|
| The children of political officers, hiding in the bushes, are watching.
|
| Seeing how sailors kiss their high school girls on the lips,
|
| The boys from the garrison are disturbed by a strange feeling.
|
| If everything worked out, if I became who I wanted,
|
| If everything had been different, I would not have sung this song.
|
| The girl's name was Alena, a glorious object of desire,
|
| She suddenly married a lieutenant without passing her tests.
|
| Somewhere on the island of Cuba, Fidel Castro came to power,
|
| Under this case, Nikita immediately put rockets.
|
| Behind the red-star fence, children play reconnaissance,
|
| No more films about noble cowboys are brought to the club.
|
| Children find grenades, their curiosity torments them
|
| And the youngest son of the commander remained bright in his memory.
|
| How I wanted to be a hero, fight enemies in battle,
|
| Somewhere Lumumba was killed by imperialist bastards.
|
| If everything worked out, if I became who I wanted,
|
| If everything had been different, I would not have sung this song.
|
| I dream of a small city in the wilds of a great power.
|
| My machine gun made of plywood still did not go to the enemy.
|
| I dream of a small town, I dream of a small town
|
| I dream of a small town, I dream of a small town. |
