Кто Виноват [Kto Vinovat] [English translation]

Who is at fault, that you're worn out,

That you can't find that which you seek,

That you've lost all you've waited for,

That you fell from the skies you'd reached.

And who's to blame, that day by day,

Your life goes by a stranger's way,

Your house becomes a lonely place,

Your window shows an empty space.

Chorus:

The lights go out, the sounds grow silent,

Your hands reach out for some new suffering,

And if this pain appears to ease up,

That just means a new one's on the way.

And who's at fault, tell me, my friend,

This one is married, that one's rich,

This one's a nut, that one's in love,

This one's a fool, that one's a foe.

And who's to blame, that all around,

Folks live by waiting for each other,

While your day's dull, and your night's blank,

And all the warm seats have been claimed.

Chorus

And who's at fault, and where's the key

That there's no sorrow and no joy

And no success without defeat

The score for up's and down's is set.

And who's to blame that you're alone

With just this life and it's so long

And you're so bored and you just wait

Until you finally die one day

Chorus
