Ветер надежды [Veter nadezhdy] [English translation]

We settled down in a new order at dawn,

We resemble a flock of wingless birds,

The wind was forecast, but there's no wind -

It's difficult to raise the wind

With the rustle of newspapers pages.

We're rustling that reaches our ears:

How are we to pace faster and to be?

But we can't venture out on the first step,

I'm afraid we have forgotten how to walk.

And even if the question doesn't look like an answer,

And as it seems there's no blinkers on the eyes,

And it looks like the green light is already given,

But someone's keeping his foot on the brakes.

And we're telling jokes bu carrot juice,

Being choked with straw of our cigarettes,

And yet we cannot share the piece,

That, generally, doesn't exist long ago.

And we're laughing through tears and crying without ones,

And we're watching others, not watching ourselves.

The most essential question out of thousands of ones:

Who is extreme? - I'm for you!

And from many mouths the bolts has already been removed,

And now the verbosity has no limit,

There are too many beautiful and famous speeches,

It's time, finally, to get down to business, isn't it?

And even if the walls cannot be destroyed by words,

And nobody trusts in the landlord's favor,

But though, we're looking at the sky waiting fof changes.

This means that something has changed already.

And I hear the question, but I don't know the answer,

But finally, when I close my eyes,

I can clearly see the striplet of light

There, where the wind of hope

Will fill my sails.
