Звезда По Имени Солнце [Zvezda po imyeni Solntse] [English translation]

White snow, gray ice

On the cracked up earth

On it, like a quilted blanket,

Lies a city in a loop of roads

And clouds float above the city

Covering the light from the sky

And there’s yellow smoke above the city

The city lived for two thousand years

Under the light of a star

called Sun

For two thousand years, there’s been a war

A war for no apparent reason

Wars are for the young

They serve as wrinkle cures

Red-red blood

In an hour it’s plain earth

In two - there’s grass and flowers

In three - it’s alive again

And is warmed up by the rays of a star

called Sun

And we know that it’s always been this way

That fate has always favored

The one who lives by other laws

And the one who is to die young

He doesn’t remember the words “yes” and “no”

He doesn’t remember ranks or names

And is capable of reaching the stars,

Not considering it a dream

And of falling, burnt by a star

Called Sun
