Дурак и Молния [Durak i Molniya] [English translation]

I

It's thundering

The lightning's flashing in the night

The fool's standing and screaming on the hill:

"I'm gonna catch you in my bag

And you will be shining within

I wanna you to be mine so much!"

Chorus:

The fellow rushes to the forest

Then to the field and to the stream

And he keeps trying to catch the lightning

II

All rural folk

Were going out to watch this

How the madman was running and freaking on the hill

He seems to be out of his head

He's an enemy to himself

He's the fool with his whims - just think of that!

Chorus:

The fellow rushes to the forest

Then to the field and to the stream

And he keeps trying to catch the lightning

III

In the morning along the rural road

The night hero was walking slowly

So pretty shaggy and grey-haired

And he was smiling!!!
