Люди в лодках [Ljudi v lodkakh] [English translation]

It's been a long time, I've been walking by the riverside,

Walking and cursing my own fate.

All hope was gone,

And, still, I'd be off to the sea in the morning.

And I noticed, that I feel at ease,

And the whole world isn't quite that bad.

And our boat can easily sail

Past marvellous shores and islands.

People in boats, you're being carried by the river,

It spreads and carries you away day by day.

A lot of boats for you, and the river is big,

And you all have forgotten where is your house.

And I noticed, that I feel at ease,

And the whole world isn't quite that bad.

And our boat can easily sail

Past marvellous shores and islands.
