Мёртвые [Myortvye] [English translation]

Dead ones do not smolder, do not burn

Do not get sick, do not hurt

Dead ones do not see, do not rot

Do not know how, do not live.

Like on sight, like in turn

Like under fire, on the parade, in roundelay

Like in full flight, like recklessly

And again at first...

Dead ones do not argue, do not want

Do not senesce, do not mourn

Dead ones do not sow and do not reap

Do not perspire, do not sing.

Like bluntly, like the rock from the bridge

Like everything is ahead, like everyone in places

Like day before yesterday, like day after tomorrow

And again at first...

Play: couplet

Like the whole world, like the snowball,

Like bluntly, at random, baldheaded

Like forevermore, like irrevocable

And again at first...

Dead ones do not praise, do not scold

Do not shoot, do not make noise

Dead ones do not sow, do not sing

Don not know how, do not live.
