Гудки [Gudki] [English translation]

Not a farewell, but a good bye,

And the heart is being torn apart again,

To the simple question: "So how're you?"

Only beeps will give me the answer.

Mom, where the heart used to be, there is a hole now,

I mean, you know that I don't need that much,

But without her, alas, my lamp will die out immediately,

Mom, my ship is slowly sinking.

I brought my soul to you on my weather-beaten palms,

But I understood, that you'd never done the same.

The night will pass, and some Saturday

Someone will dial your number,

The whisper will say: "You're my everything".

It won't be me, I'm just saying..

Not a farewell, but a good bye,

And the heart is being torn apart again,

To the simple question: "So how're you?"

Only beeps will give me the answer.

Not a farewell, but a good bye,

And the heart is being torn apart again,

To the simple question: "So how're you?"

Only beeps will give me the answer.

Pick up your phone, come on,

I've got a couple of epithets for you,

And what if I feel like shit now, what if it's your parents calling?

There are no more fruits left, no baby food too,

So buy some, don't forget, and be here at half past one.

We used to be the family, now we just look like it.

I'm begging you, call me back.

We're at some coffee house again,

In soap and in foam1

And until Sunday we have to count

All the fines and penalties, yeah-yeah

There are people around us whom we don't appreciate,

But we need those who don't give a shit about us.

The night will pass, and some Saturday

Someone will dial your number,

The whisper will say: "You're my everything".

It won't be me, I'm just saying..

Hello?

Not a farewell, but a good bye,

And the heart is being torn apart again,

To the simple question: "So how're you?"

Only beeps will give me the answer.

Not a farewell, but a good bye,

And the heart is being torn apart again (torn apart),

To the simple question: "So how're you?"
