Наша Семья [Nasha Sem'ya] [English translation]

In our family, everyone is doing something different,

But no one knows what the person next to them are doing

It seems that we're assembling

A machine that'll crush us.

Our family, they're something strange,

They always stand behind your back

I only want to be free, that's it.

But this means that I'll have to part with my family.

Who is here? Brothers, sisters, father-in-law!

Look at the shit I'm going to set ablaze, 1

In my pajamas, starting an intense fire,

You will get out, for the first time, to the boulevard around the corner

Because I'm only going to...

I'm going to set fire to our house.

There is a white sheep amongst the black sheep.

There is a white jackdaw amongst the black ravens. 2

They're neither better or worse, it just gives

An idea about what is waiting for us around the corner.

What do you have to offer? Son, daughter, son-in-law...

Look at me, I'm almost like Herostratus 3

With my bare feet and a candle,

You will get out, for the first time, to the boulevard around the corner

Just to see

How our house is blazing.

In our family, everyone is doing something different,

But no one knows what the person next to them are doing

It seems that we're assembling

A machine that'll crush us.

Our family, they're something strange,

They always stand behind your back

I only want to be free, that's it.

But this means that I'll have to part with my family.
