Оставь меня [Ostav' menya] [English translation]

I have always been a free lancer,

And been free and alone.

How did it come so? What a fool I was,

When I had let you into my house !

You look at me like a boa constrictor,

And maybe I'm in some way wrong,

But you are coming closer,

And I can perfectly see,

That I'm already in your teeth...

Leave me alone,

Don't put me in the museum of your victories.

Leave me alone,

Imagine me as something that is not here.

I have no need in your dramatical speeches,

Nor the hot hands neither the wet eyes,

At last you must realize - a lifestyle can't be changed,

I'm sorry, but I didn't ever belong to anybody.

You always walk behind me near,

I cannot hide myself neither here nor there,

And despite all my efforts, you ten times a day

Meet with me in different places.

But if I want to leave,

You'd better not stand in my way.

I left the shores, the river carries me,

And it's impossible to enter into this river.

Leave me alone,

Don't put me in the museum of your victories.

Leave me alone,

Imagine me as something that is not here.

I have no need in your dramatical speeches,

Nor the hot hands neither the wet eyes,

At last you must realize - a lifestyle can't be changed,

I'm sorry, but I didn't ever belong to anybody.
