Научи меня быть счастливым [Nauchi Menya Byt' Schastlivim] [English translation]

Like two drops of water

Under the rain, like under a knife,

Soaking wet, to the thread of the plot

To this city, the winter has let me go

For a short tryst with the summer.

I don't need the answer

To see the dawn,

Seems I need to be reborn.

This city has dimmed

In this morning hour

Only the dream continues to dream.

In 1972

Alone and single-minded

Teach me how to be happy

In a string of long nights

Melt in your web

And love even more.

My challenge is clear,

But my eyes are tiring of

Choosing between black and white.

Teach me how to live

And one day to forget,

Where the body and soul parted.

Like two drops of water

Under the rain, like under a knife,

Soaking wet, to the thread of the plot

To this city, the winter has let me go

For a short tryst with the summer.
