You didn't really come too early
But anyway I had some spare time
He became a good friend and we sat around in snack- bars
Waiting for you, tapping each other's back
Passing drinks for women, dressed in blue
Not having the slightest idea of their past.
Chorus: You should stay at home and watch TV
All channels show pitch dark trains
Passing by and carrying no passengers
Except for two, who are standing (drunk) in the bar-coach
The one who' sick-that's me.
It's a pity that they are broadcasting me now,
A moment ago I was praising God.
We didn't really set out to do anything
'cause you were supposed to come
And anyway, what's the point in doing anything,
Only for a short time…
But then you didn't show up
And we made life, out of this sitting-around
Me and my friend Time.
Chorus: You should stay at home and watch TV
All channels show pitch dark trains, passing by,
Carrying no passengers on them
Except two, who are standing (drunk) in the bar-coach.
The one who' sick-that's me.
It's a pity that they are broadcasting me now;
A moment ago I was praising God (drunk).
And after all, it's all the same
I knew that you wouldn't come.
At night you were a star and a swallow by the day.
All land’s cropped, everything's growing properly
So this is what I'm leaving to you
To you, Star or Swallow.
Chorus: …
