Земфира [Zemfira] [English translation]

Don't let it get to you, Zemfira, just don't.

Drive away your nostalgia, let it float to the ceiling like smoke.

And don't touch the telephone or the hangnail.

You can do it, I know that

Besides happiness,

There's winter, the flu, mere bad luck.

On Sunday

You will be smiling

And, by the way,

Looking better than everybody else.

Kill your caprices as long as you can.

Tell me about how much you wanted it, how warm it felt in front of a thousand mirrors.

And you don't need anybody, don't even think about it.

It's easier that way, I know that

Besides happiness,

There's winter, the flu, mere bad luck.

On Sunday

You will be smiling

And, by the way,

Looking better than everybody else.

Explain to yourself the important thing, even if it takes a long time.

You can get angry if you like, you can walk out and get angry

You can choose your own dreams, and moods,

And impressions. I know that

Besides happiness,

There's winter, the flu, mere bad luck.

On Sunday

You will be smiling

And, by the way,

Looking better than everybody else.

Don't let it get to you, Zemfira, just don't.

Drive away your nostalgia, let it float to the ceiling like smoke.

And don't touch the telephone or the hangnail.

You can do it, I know that.
