Мне Не Хватает Свободы! [Mne ne khvatayet svobody!] [English translation]

I would drink vodka,

I'd hit a smoke and a joint,

I'd penetrate my vein,

[With] A cold needle,

You don't see it coming.

People on edge,

You don't hear 'em,

The Urals at the gate.

In my heart, I believe,

That you'll be here for me.

I've been busting my ass,

I dance on stage, like a clown,

Folks drink,

And they don't care about me.

Me, of course,

Sings into the abyss,

And as-always 1

I get paid for it.

But in my heart, I believe,

You'll be here to protect me.

I was told: "You'll be fine if you pay your mind!"

They warned me : "Don't play with fire!"

But I hate it,

Your friend behind your back,

Doesn't give up.

So just be yourself!

In my heart, I believe you,

So pray for me!

Soaking in warm water,

In a bathtub,

I struggle with the temptation of a razor knife.

Some will say : "You're showing off!"

People I care for, good folks,

Oh, I envy you!

My freedom just isn't enough! (x3)

Born beneath an ensign,

The stars were alive until now,

Beneath the Hammer-and-Sickle constellation,

The fiery revolution.

Someone will help,

Slip my shoes on,

And play on an old guitar.

In my heart, I believe,

That you won't leave my side!

Soaking in warm water,

In a bathtub,

I struggle with the temptation of a razor knife.

Some will say : "You're showing off!"

People I care for, good folks,

Oh, I envy you!

My freedom just isn't enough! (x3)`
