Молодость [Molodostʹ] [English translation]

There was time when we waited for the evening and sang songs with our guitars

(Literally) the sea was not higher than (our ) knees, We returned in the morning at six!l

We were getting scolded, we were getting stronger, and we promised not to do mischievous things

and in the mornings We promised mom that we would quit smoking!

Each one of us opened (the metaphorical Oscar-like) envelope

(to determine our destiny) In our way we tried to get the entrance ticket (into the future presumably).

We were naive and young and we threw everything up and down,

And finished life carefreely, we were in the adult race!

CHORUS:

Youth, you are like a time lock

and you do not want to break in order to take another look

Youth, you are like a time lock

and you want not to break it, so that you can live again! (2 times)

Life scattered us and we have our own thing going

We were swept like leaves and we flew wherever

We do not see each other for years,

but someone does........

and only memory from time to time

in the sky writes to us "hello"

I'm trying to do something

I try hard to live

not to run from my fate

and forgive my enemies

All what I took from my childhood

since then warms my heart .

where are you , the songs of my early childhood,

are you still there in my old backyard?

Youth, you are like a time lock

and you do want to break in order to take another look

Youth, you are like a time lock

and you do want not to break, so that you can live again
