Прыг-Скок [Pryg-Skok] [English translation]

Swings were swinging

Without any passengers

Without any outside force

All by themselves...

Throat dried up

A twig got wet

A twig got wet

The ditch got bloated

Full of moisture

Full of stangant water

And black convulsions

Fingers got sore

Head got burned

Body was taken out

And the soul was swept away

Out of the village

Out of the village

Hair turned white

Words were mumbled

Wrinkles appeared

Men were laughing...

Men were laughing

And women cried

Fingers got cold...

Thoughts dumbed down...

From worldly vanities

INTO UNHEARD-OF SUFFERING — A JUMP AND HOP!!!

JUMP AND HOP!!!

JUMP UNDER THE GROUND

HOP TO THE CLOUDS

JUMP UNDER THE GROUND

HOP TO THE CLOUDS

The moustache shivered

Clocks began dancing

Jump — a second

Hop — a century

Jump — a second

Hop — a century...

moustaches turned gray

clocks stopped

time disappeared

semen was burned

vomit was swallowed

hiccups were choked on

fear shriveled up

under the winter sweater.......

In the darkness there's a mirror, water and a candle...

Someone inside is dying while laughing...

And foaming from the mouth...

foaming from the mouth

teeth are chattering

wait for an eclipse

wait for a sign

from those waiting for you in the field at night!..

Understand the way things are...

Understand the way things are -

The one who's a holy father...

Was never allowed to live...

The one who tore apart the ring...

Fell under a wagon wheel...

Everything will come true...

Everything will be forgotten...

Everything will manifest...

The body walked

In circles around the room

Without any effort

All by itself

All by itself

ALL BY ITSELF!!!

Fingers contorted

During black convulsions

During black sonvulsions

Fingers contorted!

Out of tempered steel

Across monstrous distances — A JUMP AND HOP!!!

JUMP AND HOP!!!

JUMP UNDER THE SKIN

HOP TO THE APPLE TREE

JUMP UNDER THE SKIN

HOP TO THE SKY!!!

The night, a mirror, water and a candle

And a white tablecloth...

paint released fumes...

a mask turned hard as stone...

Chills in the chest

The skin is leaking

Drip-drip

Drip-drip

Drip...

The skin is leaking

The face turned blank

Hands stiffened

And the soul got swept away

The soul got swept away

Out of the village

Out of the village

Parentheses were closed

Habits were forgotten...

Throw a candle into a river

Throw a candle into a river

Let the wax float

Let the wax float

The river is flowing

The wax is floating

A child is dying

And an old man is singing:

Sit down on the ladder

And hear the song

Of the dry well

Of the guilty freak

About how it happened

That the tub got cracked

And the rope tore apart

And there wasn't any water left

There wasn't shit at all

Only the snaking snake

And the streaming stream

The streaming stream...

AND RIPENING RASPBERRIES

INHALE AND EXHALE

EXHALE AND INHALE

INHALE AND EXHALE

EXHALE AND INHALE...

throw off your disquise

put out the candle

accept the present

TEAR OUT THE ROOTS!!!

JUMP AND HOP!!!

JUMP AND HOP!!!

LOWER THAN THE GRAVEYARD

HIGHER THAN THE SUN

LOWER THAN THE GRAVEYARD

HIGHER THAN THE SUN...

JUMP — UNDER THE GROUND!!

HOP — TO THE CLOUDS!!

JUMP — UNDER THE GROUND!!

HOP — TO THE CLOUDS!!

ABOVE THE TREES!!

UNDER THE TOMBSTONES!!

UNDER THE GRAVEYARD!!

OVER THE SUN!!

JUMP AND HOP!!!

JUMP AND HOP!!!

Swings were swinging

Without any passengers

Without any outside force

All by themselves...

Everything will come true...

Everything will be forgotten...

Everything will manifest...
