Кукушка [Kukushka] [English translation]

How many songs are unwritten yet?

Tell me, cuckoo, sing it to me

Where should I live, in the city or outside

Lie like a stone or shine like a star

Like a star

My sun, come on, look at me

My palm turned into a fist

And if there's gunpowder, give me fire

That's how it is

Who's going to follow my lonely track

The strong and brave laid down their lives

On the battlefield, in fight

Few of them remained in our memory

Sober-minded, with the steady hand, in arms

In arms

My sun, come on, look at me

My palm turned into a fist

And if there's gunpowder, give me fire

That's how it is

Where are you now, my liberal freedom

Who are you meeting sweet sunrise with

Give me an answer

It's good to live with you and hard without you

The head and patient shoulders

To put under whip lashes, whip lashes

You my sun, come on, look at me

My palm turned into a fist

And if there's gunpowder, give me fire

It's like this (x2)
