Лёд [Lyod] [English translation]

It's nothing weird that right before New Year

Everyone is taking out loans to pay for a tourist tour

Those who failed to get a ticket1 to the South

Stay in the oven of the capital

Having left their flats and entering the stuffiness of microwaves

Crowds of Moscow citizens have spread out throughout boulevards

They have been imbued with the breath of the engines

They have overheated and they smell like popcorn

Historic heaps are everywhere here

And the atmosphere of the presidency is sparkling

It feels like you are a bunch of shriveled flies

On a sticky ribbon2 hanging in tiny stands in villages

And when the night is falling in this hell full of advertisements

I'm alone as I walk through maintenance works long finished

I'm going to dance and boast

And dissipate my roots in the capital3

But when I dream I see a cold mountain range4 in the Urals

Vertebrae covered by a snow crust

And the snow blanket is crunching and my dad

Who came back from the woods is warmed up by a broth

And forgetting about Moscow I'm (rushing) straight ahead

There are no problems or worries in my icy head

But is the ice strong?

Is the- Is the ice strong?

It's nothing weird that now coffee is mixed with ice

And it makes sense for men not to wear beards

I wish there was a thunderstorm over the dusty ring (road)5

And I wish that puddles in the pedestrian subways were deeper

And then allures of the shop-windows and flickering lights

Will shine for someone, but not for me

While I lose myself in rich streets

And I become transparent

And it will wither and shrivel on the acrid fields

Exclamations of advertisements will grow silent

And then I will hear as in the ancient mountains

My range is moving its vertebrae

It has always been waiting for me, it called for me

To the train stations that mothers go to in autumn

To see off their daughters that leave for Moscow

To the place where everybody knows me

And forgetting about Moscow I'm (rushing) straight ahead

There are no problems or worries in my icy head

But is the ice strong?

Is the- Is the ice strong?
