Knocking on the rails of the wheel
|
In the land where there is snow and frost,
|
"Stolypin" carries our walkers,
|
The window behind the bars froze.
|
Tooth doesn't hit tooth anymore:
|
“Listen, who is throwing coal there?
|
Throw it in the stove as soon as possible, ”-
|
Shouts urka to the guards.
|
The guards do not hear him,
|
They play cards in sheepskin coats
|
And they drink vodka to warm up,
|
And they don't care about the convicts.
|
Chorus:
|
Knock - knock, all about the rails of the wheel,
|
Choo - choo, behind the smoke of a steam locomotive,
|
Knock knock, the teeth of the convicts tap dance.
|
And I don't feel my nose anymore
|
I am silent, even though I have questions,
|
And I'm going, I'm still going there,
|
Where no one is happy for me.
|
This is how it is in winter and summer,
|
"Stolypins" are taking us somewhere,
|
In the north and east
|
On the railroad tracks.
|
And if you, brother, are free,
|
Understand our bitter lot
|
Pour and drink quickly
|
To make us a little warmer.
|
Chorus:
|
Knock - knock, all about the rails of the wheel,
|
Choo - choo, behind the smoke of a steam locomotive,
|
Knock knock, the teeth of the convicts tap dance.
|
And I don't feel my nose anymore
|
I am silent, even though I have questions,
|
And I'm going, I'm still going there,
|
Where no one is happy for me.
|
Knock - knock, all about the rails of the wheel,
|
Choo - choo, behind the smoke of a steam locomotive,
|
Knock knock, the teeth of the convicts tap dance.
|
And I don't feel my nose anymore
|
I am silent, even though I have questions,
|
And I'm going, I'm still going there,
|
Where no one is happy for me.
|
Knock - knock, all about the rails of the wheel,
|
Choo - choo, behind the smoke of a steam locomotive,
|
Knock knock, the teeth of the convicts tap dance.
|
And I don't feel my nose anymore
|
I am silent, even though I have questions,
|
And I'm going, I'm still going there,
|
Where no one is happy for me. |
