| We burned down due to a misunderstanding - he sat down for embezzlement, and I - for Xenia, -
 | 
| We had love, but we parted: she screamed and resisted.
 | 
| The Cheka attacked the two of us, and now we are both prisoners -
 | 
| Zeka Vasiliev and Petrov zeka.
 | 
| And in the camps - not life, but darkness-darkness: Maidan people are all around, burglars are all around,
 | 
| There is a terrible attitude towards us and very strange encroachments all around.
 | 
| Well, the authorities don’t give a damn - for what and how, for the authorities we are the same convicts -
 | 
| convicts Vasiliev and Petrov convicts.
 | 
| And so we decided - we want to run away, otherwise it will all end very badly:
 | 
| Every day we are muzzled by criminals, and the head doctor calls us to be his lovers.
 | 
| And so - we decided to run, well, for now we remained the same prisoner -
 | 
| convicts Vasiliev and Petrov convicts.
 | 
| For four years we have been preparing an escape - we have saved three tons of grubs,
 | 
| And one terribly nice criminal even gave us a ladle to take with him.
 | 
| And so we left with him in hand, - we applauded our impudence of the prisoner -
 | 
| convict Petrov, Vasilyev convict.
 | 
| And here we are, along the tundra, like little orphans, not all along the road, but along the path.
 | 
| Where we were going - to Moscow or to Mongolia - he didn't know, bastard,
 | 
| me even more so.
 | 
| I proved to him that the west is where the sunset is, but it was too late: we were caught by the Cheka -
 | 
| convict Petrov, Vasilyev convict.
 | 
| Then - an order about our colonel: that he caught two major criminals,
 | 
| For us, he received both money and two orders, and for joy he kept hitting us in the face.
 | 
| After that, they added a term to us, and now we are the same prisoners.
 | 
| Zeka Vasiliev and Petrov zeka. |
