Дорожная [Dorozhnaya] [English translation]

Horse and traveler, don't you have it rough?

Try to not drop dead on the way!

Overcoming off-road land isn't that hard,

But how to overcome the road?

Both the devil and the God

Must see you eye to eye,

O Russian road -

Seven curves a mile.

If there's no bump, there'll be a pit,

A pothole, right or left - a ditch.

Oh, road, tell us plainly,

Do you lead to the other world?

Both the devil and the God

Must see you eye to eye,

O Russian road -

Seven curves a mile.

But both the boot and the bast shoe agree,

How can we not love our miles?

To swear here is wiser than to cry,

And to escape is easier than to catch.

Both the devil and the God

Must see you eye to eye,

O Russian road -

Seven curves a mile.
