It's nothing weird that right before New Year
Everyone is taking out loans to pay for a tourist tour
Those who failed to get a ticket1 to the South
Stay in the oven of the capital
Having left their flats and entering the stuffiness of microwaves
Crowds of Moscow citizens have spread out throughout boulevards
They have been imbued with the breath of the engines
They have overheated and they smell like popcorn
Historic heaps are everywhere here
And the atmosphere of the presidency is sparkling
It feels like you are a bunch of shriveled flies
On a sticky ribbon2 hanging in tiny stands in villages
And when the night is falling in this hell full of advertisements
I'm alone as I walk through maintenance works long finished
I'm going to dance and boast
And dissipate my roots in the capital3
But when I dream I see a cold mountain range4 in the Urals
Vertebrae covered by a snow crust
And the snow blanket is crunching and my dad
Who came back from the woods is warmed up by a broth
And forgetting about Moscow I'm (rushing) straight ahead
There are no problems or worries in my icy head
But is the ice strong?
Is the- Is the ice strong?
It's nothing weird that now coffee is mixed with ice
And it makes sense for men not to wear beards
I wish there was a thunderstorm over the dusty ring (road)5
And I wish that puddles in the pedestrian subways were deeper
And then allures of the shop-windows and flickering lights
Will shine for someone, but not for me
While I lose myself in rich streets
And I become transparent
And it will wither and shrivel on the acrid fields
Exclamations of advertisements will grow silent
And then I will hear as in the ancient mountains
My range is moving its vertebrae
It has always been waiting for me, it called for me
To the train stations that mothers go to in autumn
To see off their daughters that leave for Moscow
To the place where everybody knows me
And forgetting about Moscow I'm (rushing) straight ahead
There are no problems or worries in my icy head
But is the ice strong?
Is the- Is the ice strong?
