Кого ты хотел удивить? [Kogo ty khotel udivit'] [English translation]

You can wear your hair like an unkept garden,

Or you can shave it all off

Yeah I've seen it a fair few times,

Tell me, who is it you wanted to impress?

You preached the guitar, the Beatles and flowers. 1

Day-dreaming of peace ruling the world,

You didn't invent these songs did you,

So tell me, who is it you wanted to impress?

Tell me, what are you happy about?

Stop and look back.

Stop and take a look back and you'll see,

How the leaf withers in fall,

And the crows circling in the air,

Where a garden used to be in full bloom.

You've become rebellious, and the darkness bowed to you,

You wanted to change the entire world.

But all rebels are waiting to be sentenced,

So tell me who it is you wish to impress?

You're tired, you no longer care,

How you live your life now.

You let everyone look like you too,

But tell me, who was it you wanted to impress?

Tell me, what are you happy about?

Stop and look back.

Stop and take a look back and you'll see,

How the leaf withers in fall,

And the crows circling in the air,

Where a garden used to be in full bloom.

Did you really think you could change the whole world alone,

Fill it with light,

But when push-came-to-pull, you were weak,

So tell me, who was it you wanted to impress anyways?

Tell me, why are you happy?

Stop and take a look back.

Stop and turn around, and you'll see,

The leaves withering in fall,

The crows circling in the air,

And where a garden used to be in full bloom.

1. After looking into it, flowers is better than soul. Flowers are synonymous with hippies and peace so that makes a bit more sense.
