Pustite me, druže [English translation]

It's long after midnight

I'm getting sleepy

I walk tiredly down an empty street

Watching the new dawn break

Somebody yells: Hey, hairy guy, stop!

Let's see your ID, hairy guy, stop!

Listen, hairy guy, are you normal?

Do you know what time of night it is?

Who let you out with that hair?

Now you will come with me calmly

Let me go, comrade!

You have no valid paper

No residency permit, no identification

No revenue stamp, no birth certificate

You're screwing with the whole administration

Let me go, comrade!

Come on, boy, sit in the car

Don't make me use this stick

Normal people don't walk around at night

Look at that, he won't get into the paddy wagon

Let me go, comrade!

You're either drunk or dumb

Or maybe something even worse?

What are you looking at, roll up your sleeves

I don't fall for any silly business

Let me go, comrade!

Hey, duty officer, leave this one here

Let him cool down his head a bit

If he gives you trouble, tighten the screws

You know they think they're always right

Let me go, comrade!
