Лунатик [Lunatik] [English translation]

The city's fast asleep. Lifting the gate,

I leave my home in the night.

I go higher, right onto the roof

and walk about it, like on a knife.

Above Moscow shines a full moon;

once again, I can't sleep tonight.

I'm just a lunatic, and when I'm not asleep

I love to wander through the night, around the roofs.

I look down on the city from these heights

and black cats sing me songs.

Somewhere down there I see again

the scarce lights of cars at night.

Till morning I'll count chimneys—

on these roofs, there's exactly a hundred.

Above Moscow shines a full moon;

once again, I can't sleep tonight.

I'm just a lunatic, and when I'm not asleep

I love to wander through the night, around the roofs.

I look down on the city from these heights

and black cats sing me songs.

I'm just a lunatic, and when I'm not asleep

I love to wander through the night, around the roofs.

I look down on the city from these heights

and black cats sing me songs.
