Кто Виноват [Kto Vinovat] [English translation]

Who is to blame: life's let you down,

All that you craved, you haven't found;

You've lost all what you sought around;

You've soared to skies but fallen down?

Whose fault is it that day by day

Your life takes wrong turns, wastes away,

Your home's a lonely place to stay,

Behind your window's empty ley?

[Chorus:]

The light grows dim, the sounds are close pent,

And hands search for a brand-new torment;

[And] if your pain recedes and lessens,

That means new misfortune is at hand.

Who is to blame, tell me, don't lie,

This one's got wealth, that one - a wife,

That one's in love, the other's droll,

One is a fool, that one's your foe?

Whose fault is it that here and there

Folks live by waiting for their pair;

But day's a chore and night is bare,

All cushy seats are booked, I swear!

[Chorus]

Who is to blame, what did I miss,

That there's no grief and there's no bliss,

There are no wins without defeats,

The score is even on your sheets?

And who's to blame that you're alone,

Your life's so long, all on your own,

So boring, and you wait like stone

That one day you will die alone?

[Chorus]
