Бассейн [Basseyn] [English translation]

In a swimming pool full of broken glass

I set a records for speed and depth.

For a few seconds from corner to corner

I can easily swim on the very bottom. (x2)

That’s a kind of extreme teenage sport.

My silhouette is barely visible from under the fragments.

I leave a bright red mark behind me

And set a new unattainable record.

My fans are watching the scarlet stripe,

In the pool light plays with glares whimsically,

Sometimes it seems there’s no more hope,

But I emerge again alive inspite of all.

Sliping on a tile in a pool of my own blood,

After the swim I barely crawl out on all fours.

I've been bloting ambulance stretcher not once.

The doctors shakes their heads like “you can’t do it”.

What does it mean “you can’t” while I actually can?

Stop fuzzing around, I know I won’t drown.

Look, everybody, I’m jumping again!

That’s a kind of extreme teenage sport.

In a swimming pool full of broken glass

I set a records for speed and depth.

For a few seconds from corner to corner

I can easily swim on the very bottom. (x2)

I’ll crawl out and give one hundred thousands of interviews right away

To annoying and stupid bitty press.

Their same-type questions doesn’t bother me anymore.

It’s even easier for me – I answer automatically.

The silence will hang around the tribunes like a dead weight,

And viewers will leave long rows of chairs.

The janitors will clean up the mess I made,

Go through sectors and sort out rubbish.

Paper cups and a hot-dog wrappers

Will go to a black bag in a container.

And a glass bottles will be collected by my trainer:

We need a lot of them for constant trainings.

While I’ll be coursing through jammed central streets

In a bus with a red cross on it,

My trainer will smash those bottles into an empty swimming pool.

That’s a kind of extreme teenage sport.

In a swimming pool full of broken glass

I set a records for speed and depth.

For a few seconds from corner to corner

I can easily swim on the very bottom. (x2)
