Where I was born, the main color was gray;
The Sun was not different from the Moon.
Wherever I went, I always went to the North,
Because no other cardinal point exists there and it has
never been invented.
The first star said me, "You are the first one."
The wind has taught me to walk alone.
That's why I'm still a little nervous man,
When they say me, "Look, it's the happiness"
I look there and see the prison.
It's time to ford this river,
It's high time to ford this river,
While you're on this side, you know yourself
what awaits you,
Get up.
We ford this river.
Where I was born, everyone knew Kolya.
Kolya was our best comrad and friend.
Kolya has taught us to drink wine, it has replaced my will,
A stalk of jade has replaced
The compass and lifebuoy to me.
But on Sunday morning, we must go in flock again,
And we'll be blessed to spawn in the mist;
Tenderness of water is the most reliable of everything
that I know,
But engineers of my body told me to walk on the soil.
It's time to ford this river,
It's high time to ford this river ford.
If you wanna say a word to me, try to use your mouth,
Get up.
We ford this river.
