Глина научит [Glina nauchit] [English translation]

Loudly

A little ring rolled through a hole in a pocket

Nightly

They rubbed their eyes with handkerchiefs

That’s how it was

In spite of all the deaths

The clay will help us

The clay will show us

The clay will teach us

Suddenly

The scythe missed and landed on a stone

Soberly

Flags turned white at faraway latitudes

That’s how it turned out

In spite of all the deaths

The clay will help us

The clay will show us

The clay will teach us

Warmly

Milk will boil in a mother’s chest

Sweetly

Vasilyok1 will grind his teeth at night

That’s how it will be

In spite of all the deaths

The clay will help us

The clay will show us

The clay will teach us
