Он увидел Солнце [On Uvidel Solnce] [English translation]

Slow shock, gutters with water

Concrete walls, damp earth

Iron windows, electric light

Splashing sound, scorching asphalt

But the world was beautiful, like snivel on a wall

And the city was fine, like a cross on a back

And the day was happy, like a blind gut

But he saw the sun

Plastic smoke, burnt stench

Barbed wire into the kilometric distance

Scraps of tires, wheels and slag

Blind trenches, dry grass

Watch tower, broken glass

Brick ranks, the crematorium is fuming

Tincans, paper scraps

Automatic gun, uniform and gas mask.
