Скрепы [Skrepy] [English translation]

I did not finish the school, I didn't like to get up at 8 am

Mother told me: "I'll wake you up when the time comes, so sleep"

I slept and saw myself tearing rubber hot water bottle into pieces

While teachers nagged others,

I was educating myself day and night watching TV

I pumped iron, I swallowed methane, mom was giving me money.

It made me relaxed, my eyes went dry, and I didn't believe my eyes,

While professors pressed others in the university.

I never read a book, for I am as wise as Solomon without it.

I don't know any foreign languages, but I know that my language is rich.

Then mom told me: "OK, get up! It's time to make money"

And she made me a deputy of somewhere.

From cradle till grave

We are as gloomy as the sky over the Tagil river.

Wherever you look, there are absurd and morons everywhere

A-a-a, the situation isn't bad!

Why are you like a schmuck? Why are you like a piece of shit, ain't you a patriot?

Hey, you wanker, are you full of brains? Hey, what the fuck are you doing, huh?

You are baptized! Hey, you are not a nigga,1 huh? very fucking well!

Do you want to be enslaved?

Hey, I repeat it for you once again:

Why are you like a schmuck? Why are you like a piece of shit, ain't you a patriot?

Hey, I repeat it for you once again:...

We want bad roads, we want to be oppressed by others,

We want to live not sensibly, but in debts, just to make an example

To our sworn enemies, to give them a slap

They build intrigues for everyone, but for us most of all.

And let our yoke is heavy, but we have "skrepy"2

We are all as one here, our "grandpas"3from the tomb are with us

And let they know at last, that such people exist on the Earth,

They have a Tsar, there's God above them

And a wild devil with them, but we don't care anyway,

And if it is neccessary, we can make a stand, standing in rows shoulder to shoulder,

But if your are not with us, then, pal, get up,

It's time for you to inhale the humus

1. Literally "копчёный" means "the smoked one", "smokie" - an abusive nickname of the people from Caucausus or Middle Asia (with a swarthy skin), which is popular among russian neonazists2. This is a word from one of Vladimir Putin's speeches about a uniqueness of russian nation. The literal meaning (approximately): "a giant paper clips". What did Putin mean? Probably something, that connects, binds people together.3. Reference to the phrase "деды воевали" ("grandpas fought" - about the heroes of WWII) - one of the key elements of a modern "russian patriot's" lexicon
