Игра [Igra] [English translation]

It is late, all're asleep, your bed waits for you too,

In the morning at eight the [old] game starts anew,

Sun will rise [sharp] at eight [the] next morning for you.

Morning tea must be strong, just as morning ice's strong.

These are rules of the game, if you break them - you're gone.

In the morning you too will regret sleep's foregone.

But right now the trees knock on glass with their branches,

You may lie down, fall asleep, and dispatch with this night.

The trees like night creatures keep scratching the dark window glass panes.

It's not too late to lie down and fall asleep this dark night.

No phone rings, no footsteps, no [faint] jangling of keys,

Just an old alarm clock barely ticks at bedside.

Everyone in this house is asleep for long time.

Only water from tap slowly drips drop by drop,

Only days out of time calmly leak drop by drop,

You will go to chop wood, but you'll find only stumps.

But right now the trees knock on glass with their branches,

You may lie down, fall asleep, and dispatch with this night.

The trees like night creatures keep scratching the dark window glass panes.

It's not too late to lie down and fall asleep this dark night.
