Лихие пришли времена [Likhiye prishli vremena] [English translation]

The times of great evil have come,

The wind seems to feel fury call,

The devil picked rocks from the slum

And aims them at big city sprawl.

The street lights like mirrors stand tall -

They can be destroyed by next man,

And there, by the heavy glass wall,

Embracing each other we stand.

They will say: we must hurry on,

They will say that time does not wait.

Protecting himself with cloak drawn,

Toward us the devil walks straight.

He laughs in the faces of men,

He laughs in their thoughts, then heads roll,

Just crosses of street junctions can

Protect from abyss their souls.

The times of great evil have come,

The streets have roused hell with a roar.

Not knowing the light and the sun,

The devil bangs head on the door.
