Пять минут [Pyat' minut] [English translation]

I’ll sing you a song about five minutes,

Let this song of mine be sung,

Let it fly around the world,

I give you this song as a present,

This song about five minutes.

Refrain:

Five minutes, five minutes,

The clock will strike soon!

Five minutes, five minutes,

Make peace, those, who are in a quarrel!

Five minutes, five minutes,

If you look into it closer,

Even in these five minutes

You can do a lot!

Five minutes, five minutes,

The clock will strike soon,

Make peace, those, who are in a quarrel.

It is five to twelve on our clock,

The new year is certainly on the way.

It rushes to us in full swing,

Soon we will say: "Happy New Year!"

On the clock, it's five to twelve.

Refrain:

The new year is not waiting,

It is at the very doorstep.

Five minutes will run -

There are so few of them left.

Dear friend, hurry,

No need to waste minutes,

Say what is not said,

Without putting it off for a year.

Dear friend, hurry,

Say what is not said,

Without putting it off for a year.

In five minutes, people decide sometimes

Not to marry, not for anything and never.

But it happens that a minute

Сhanges everything completely,

Changes it once and for all.

Refrain:

The new year is not far,

I want to wish you happiness.

Here is sitting a lad,

He is five minutes to being a master.

- Only five? Only five.

Yes, five minutes is not much,

He is on the right track,

His road is good.

Five minutes is so little,

He is on the right track,

His road is good.

Let this song of mine about five minutes

Be caught up this evening here and there.

But while I’ve been singing, five minutes have flown by.

New Year!

The clock strikes twelve!

Refrain:

The new year is beginning.

Happy New Year!

Happiness in the New Year!

Time rushes us forward -

The old year has no power any more!

Let everything sing

And faces blossom in smiles,

That’s what we have the New Year for:

To sing and have fun.

The new year is beginning.

Happy New Year!

Happiness in the New Year!

Happy New Year!

Happiness in the New Year!
