Алюминиевые огурцы [Alyuminievie ogurtsi] [English translation]

Hey there, girls!

Hey there, boys!

Watch me through your windows

and throw me your fingers, yeah!

Cause I’m

planting aluminum cucumbers, aaah,

on a tarpaulin field.

Three Chukchi wise men

keep telling me again and again

“Metal will never bear fruits”,

“The game’s not worth the candle, just like your efforts!”

But I

keep planting aluminum cucumbers, aaah,

on a tarpaulin field.

Evil white knee

is trying to annoy me.

That knee pricks veins like a spike

hoping to read the riddle

to find out, why

I’m planting aluminum cucumbers, aaah,

on a tarpaulin field.

Clinches, staples, patches,

holes, forks and loafs –

here will pass my tractors

and then they’ll fall into a piggy bank,

to the place,

where I’m

planting aluminum cucumbers, aaah,

on a tarpaulin field.
