Цветные Коробки [Tsvetnyye Korobki] [English translation]

You’ll be a star, you’ve got it inside!

Maybe your tune is a little bit trite,

But classical laurels aren't for you.

You are unique, you are original!

Who thinks there's not enough

Recognizable labels?!

Colored boxes, numerous trademarks,

Try them all, they are just like you!

They dream about being outstanding in the same way,

And they all, just like you, don't want to be like you!

Why do we need these blurry meanings?

Word combinations are much more important!

Let everything be simple! Let everything sound good!

And unnecessary thoughts just spoil the profit!

Express a bit more protest in your songs,

But only the one that will be understood!

Let your verses gladden your fans,

And don't let them contradict the current mood of the masses!

Just follow the trend! Just be progressive!

And tell everyone that you're against pop,

And that you're against dominance of countless clones',

Declare a war to consumerism!

And being gay is no longer trendy,

Don't touch children and animals either.

You’d better say that you're an Orthodox Christian –

You'll make friends with influential people.

And if you are forgotten the day after tomorrow,

You shouldn’t regret, you've gained everything.

There are a lot of people who want to be unique,

The true power is in personnel changes.

Who thinks there's not enough

Recognizable labels?!

Colored boxes, numerous trademarks,

Try them all, they are just like you!

They dream about being outstanding in the same way,

And they all, just like you, don't want to be like you!

Colored boxes, numerous trademarks,

It seemed it was easy to find the right keys!

But you were just a part of the giant machine,

You just weren't able to understand its beauty completely...
