Выше ноги от земли [Vyshe nogi ot zemli] [English translation]

Waited for a pin to choose between

Waited for the sun to start shining

Scattered down as humanity

Woke up as solitariness

And uncropped will lie the ploughland

And unfinished will the tower stand

Only a hidebound stripboard

Only a white-coloured calf bone

Only an uninterwoven band

Only a premature daughter child

Fasciated with a white fibre

Bound round with a blonde hair

And abandoned these theretofore

Together with the washed windows

Together with the discoloured paints

Together with the withered eye-balls

With the garden's bitter onion

With the heaven's noble opium1

It's so scary to drop off.

---------

Waited for a pin to choose between

Waited for the sun to start shining

It had been but rotted away

The time of its own accord

Faithful is the water in swamp

Sour as a sin at the dawn

The broom rushed through tussocks away

Fogs start floating upon the ford

The soap got drowned in mud

Thus fucked up the whole bathing day

Hence we will be starting to play

One-two - the feet higher from the earth

Who's got in time - that's going to die

Who remains - that will be an oaf

And the oaf's been deceived

And the oaf's been deceived

The feet higher from the earth

The feet higher from the earth

The most veracious law has entangled

The initial chapter in a knot

And it pulled the ends untill the knot zipped

You can either cleave or try - with no luck

That's a pandemonium

And the jeering ancient prophecy

Is bein' witnessed by the present time

All is verified, all coincides

Even the old fucking fairy tale

Did a service to all - listened to

It, and the heads wagged in time to that

And a whitish smoke was puffed upwards

But the fairy tale's a fucking one

And its end is fully incorrect

Zmei-Gorynych2 killed and ate them all

And the oaf's been deceived

And the oaf's been deceived

An airplane will take us to the flight

We will be kicking a rubber day-star in the dark

The feet higher from the earth

The feet higher from the earth

The spring has been entitled by axe

The river has been calmed by December

The morning - by a lonely shot

Waited for a pin to choose between

Waited for the sun to start shining
