Красота [это страшная сила] [Krasota [Eto strashnaya sila]] [English translation]

The peculiarities of opera in Nizhny Tagil (a Russian city with reputation of being a dump)

Haven't influenced my perception

I was speeding along as a kite

When everyone else's (electric) power was turned off.

Soon I'll become fabulously rich,

But I won't be shy about that,

I won't be afraid of my financial assets,

I'll find a room for them very easily,

Since

Beauty is a terrific (tremendous) power

And there are no words to express this,

Beauty is a terrific (tremendous) power

But I'm not afraid any more

I want to know

There was a Zhu who was studying how to catch dragons

And he blew lots of money on that (in vain)

It's a pity that he never saw a dragon in his whole life.

I read about this in ancient treatises

I read about this, and left my village at once

Soon I'll become fabulously rich,

And I'll be able to put to practice the teachings of the ancients.

Because

I'll be living in a house made of the bones of the land

And children will be coming in from the big road

To admire my crystals

Shining in fractal light.

And I won't spend my (time and money) on such a trifle

As the Seven World Wonders

Because soon I'll have That,

And soon I'll know what to do with That.

Because

I am doing it

You are doing it

We will be saved by unmotivated acts of beauty.
