Как листовка [Kak listovka] [English translation]

New commanders are to be born

That's good, that's how it should be

Whatever they say, we won't argue

Whatever they give us, we won't believe

As the leaflet - so do I

As the leaflet - so do I

As the leaflet - so do I

As the leaflet - so do I

Whatever happens, we'll wash our hands of it

Whatever befalls, we'll gaze upon the sky silently

We'll become immense like a plank-bed

We'll become reserved like trees

As the leaflet - so do I

As the leaflet - so do I

As the leaflet - so do I

As the leaflet - so do I

New commanders are to be born

That's good, that's how it should be

The only thing that matters is that rain has washed the mote away

The only thing that matters is that Hedgehog is always in the fog[*]

As the leaflet - so do I

As the leaflet - so do I

As the leaflet - so do I

As the leaflet - so do I

[*]A reference to the famous Yuri Norstein cartoon "Hedgehog in the Fog (1975)"
