Посвящение хорошему знакомому [Posvyashchenie khoroshemu znakomomu] [English translation]

People may call you a dummy

But after all you are lucky

You truly believe that the good is revered

And that the evil is punished.

It's really easy to fool you,

You will only smile if it happens -

You believe that no one is out there to lie to us

And that lies are merely errors.

If someone powerful beckons,

You will run to your master,

And should he want to turn you into a horse

You will obediently offer your back.

(instrumental)

Let people sneer at you

You are the strongest in the world

No thunderstorm can kill you

No wind can break you.

A wave will pass by someone like you,

You will never be noticed,

And if everyone is faulted for something,

There will be no guilt found for you.

And even if you are punished, you will accept it

And will regain your freedom eventually

Through many long years you will carry yourself

And keep your breeding true.
