Каменный уголь [Kamennyy ugol'] [English translation]

If a mineral coal slab could speak, could expound,

It would never have had conversations with you.

And Carrara marble piece would not have looked after you.

But you're busy with war, and you're shooting

For thousand miles and thousand years.

And I'll give no answer to you, I'll say nothing when I'm asked,

How is the fight going on.

In erotic nightdreams of a young street cleaner dude

You will be caught in a pipe,

And the arrogant maidens will tie you to a drilling rig.

And then they will crown you with flowers, with blooms,

And, singing, they will run away,

On the run they'll forget, won't remember your very name,

And no one will remember about you forevermore.

When the Day of Sterling Silver arrives,

And the crystal of rhinestone is clean,

When the one who has fled will finally find his peace,

You'll rise from the bowels of the earth, you'll be healed then,

Not knowing who you are now.

I would like to be there with you,

When the pale horseman presents

To you the sheet yet untouched.
