Господа демократы [Gospoda demokraty] [English translation]

Gentlemen-democrats of the nineteenth century

Why were you striving and threatening the Crown,

The nature’s not stupid and God isn’t a venture

And you have ignored them and didn’t account

Perhaps you have been planning arrangement of borders,

Restructuring everything – fool's haste is no speed

But the nature can’t follow your stupid orders

And God never reads leaflets with any decrees

High class! High class!

The USA and Europe prosper

High class! High class!

And we are left with bare…

Gentlemen-democrats, you know the example

When your own good colleagues had inspired the bloodshed

Killed the aristocrats – the enlightment was ample,

Paris won’t wash from this, though it’s so well-bred .

The truth-seeker Radischev having learned of this carnage

Had almost chewed up his rebellious novel

He took leave of his senses and he stared at garbage

And cursing freemasons sat blankly in hovel.

High class! High class!

The USA and Europe prosper

High class! High class!

And we are left with bare…

Gentlemen-democrats, hurry up to arise, flirts,

Take a seat at the court, and be judged by fooled mass:

Time to answer for words, Chernyshevskiy and Herzen,

And the dreamer Belinsky, and the wizard Karl Max;

You will answer as well, those who came after them

To deprive our people of land and of justice.

You have turned free-born Russians into bondmen

Into prison you turned the very Great Russia!

High class! High class!

The USA and Europe prosper

High class! High class!

And we are left with bare…
