| I am all in the light, accessible to all eyes, -
 | 
| I started the usual procedure:
 | 
| I got up to the microphone as if to images ...
 | 
| No, no, today for sure - to the embrasure.
 | 
| And I don't like the microphone -
 | 
| Yes, my voice will disgust anyone, -
 | 
| I'm sure if I'm lying somewhere -
 | 
| He will mercilessly strengthen my lies.
 | 
| Beams from the ramp hit me under the ribs,
 | 
| Lights shine in the face unkindly,
 | 
| And blind from the sides of the spotlight,
 | 
| And — heat!.. Heat!.. Heat!
 | 
| Today I especially wheeze,
 | 
| But I don't risk changing the tone, -
 | 
| After all, if I twist my soul -
 | 
| He will never straighten the curve.
 | 
| He, the beast, is thinner than the point -
 | 
| Hearing is trouble-free, hears falseness to the iota, -
 | 
| He doesn't care that I'm not in the mood, -
 | 
| But let me sing the notes correctly!
 | 
| Beams from the ramp hit me under the ribs,
 | 
| Lights shine in the face unkindly,
 | 
| And blind from the sides of the spotlight,
 | 
| And — heat!.. Heat!.. Heat!
 | 
| On the flexible neck of this microphone
 | 
| He turns his snake head:
 | 
| As soon as I shut up - he will sting, -
 | 
| I have to sing - to the point of stupefaction, to death.
 | 
| Don't move, don't move, don't dare!
 | 
| I saw a sting - you are a snake, I know!
 | 
| And I'm like a snake charmer:
 | 
| I do not sing - I conjure a cobra!
 | 
| Beams from the ramp hit me under the ribs,
 | 
| Lights shine in the face unkindly,
 | 
| And blind from the sides of the spotlight,
 | 
| And — heat!.. Heat!.. Heat!
 | 
| He is gluttonous, and with the greed of a chick
 | 
| He snatches sounds from his mouth,
 | 
| He will slap nine grams of lead into my forehead, -
 | 
| Do not raise your hands - the guitar knits your hands!
 | 
| There will be no end to this again!
 | 
| What is my microphone - who will answer me?
 | 
| Now he is like a lamp near the face,
 | 
| But I'm not a saint, and the microphone doesn't shine.
 | 
| Beams from the ramp hit me under the ribs,
 | 
| Lights shine in the face unkindly,
 | 
| And blind from the sides of the spotlight,
 | 
| And — heat!.. Heat!
 | 
| My melodies are simpler than scales,
 | 
| But I just lose my sincere tone -
 | 
| It immediately hurts me on the cheeks
 | 
| An immovable shadow from a microphone.
 | 
| I am illuminated, accessible to all eyes,
 | 
| What should I expect, calm or storm?
 | 
| I got up to the microphone as if to images ...
 | 
| No, no, today for sure - to the embrasure.
 | 
| Beams from the ramp hit me under the ribs,
 | 
| Lights shine in the face unkindly,
 | 
| And blind from the sides of the spotlight,
 | 
| And — heat!.. Heat! |
