Зима-Мама [Zima-Mama] [English translation]

In my eyes there is ice, white frost on my beard.

Who brought us perdition, will himself perish indeed.

The age old dense forest cracking like bones.

Meet the friends again, frost, like the guests at home.

Taiga-the law, the bear is in charge here.

And you don't ask, so you don't fear.

The trees have eyes, and the swamp is bottomless.

Our mother-winter is hungry always.

Even if her children played too long and drunk like a log.

It will give their legs to a gangrene dog.

The greedy, the greedy mouth is stuffed with a sweet snow.

If tired, lie down, we'll wake you up, when the spring will show

Already, the blizzard lay a fresh bed sheet, snow white.

Sleep now, do you hear, the wolves are singing lullaby

For you, the fur trees shedding the needles on your face.

Chorus: (X 2)

And we are simple folk and we say it straight.

Those, who we didn't expect and those we didn't invite.

Who brings sadness into the distance.

Take them with you, mother-winter.

The snow creaks like a hanged man on the wind.

Your scream they wouldn't understand and wipe out the footprints.

The translator, grey haired pit man, coming to you.

Come on, why are you here, tell him?

That's why he came with a fox, he is a little def.

The fox saw a dream, with you and some one with a scythe.( most probably death)

Lie to her, tell her that you not really you.

Just got lost, took a wrong turn from the trail.

The raven will come and pick out your eyes.

If you are pure, it will take you to paradise.

And if not, then crawl, seek for the wormwood.

The king-pike will guide you to your last retreat.

The hare winds through, weaves it's prints like a net.

Chase him and ask, how to postpone the death.

The land preserve thriftily, the armor and hard-heads.

Black night, white snow already red.

Chorus(X 4)

And we are simple folk and we say it straight.

Those, who we didn't expect and those we didn't invite.

Who brings sadness into the distance.

Take them with you, mother-winter. (x4)
