Невезучий [Nevezuchiy] [English translation]

My ship sank, just like many years ago.

I was so happy about it, I was having fun.

Whatever I do, there is never a good outcome,

And it's nobody's fault that I was born unlucky.

If I fall in love, it's always with a snake,

And then I can't sleep at night whilst she doesn't care.

If I leave my house, it starts to rain heavily.

If I follow advice, it turns out to be a lie.

But I'm thankful for the gift I have:

I can't even die successfully.

The rope breaks when I try to hang myself,

The trusty old pistol misfires.

So I'm quite content with my fate:

I'm unlucky but alive. Alive.

Even though I stumble where others walk easily

And the storm clouds thicken above my head.
