Звезда По Имени Солнце [Zvezda po imyeni Solntse] [English translation]

A white snow, a grey ice

On the cracked earth.

With a patchwork quilt on it -

The city is in a road loop.

And clouds float over the city

Closing a heavenly light.

And over the city there is a yellow smoke,

The city is two thousand years old,

Lived under the Star light

Named the Sun...

And two thousand years there is the war,

The war without any special reasons.

War is the business of young people,

A remedy for wrinkles.

A red, red blood

In an hour it is just the earth,

In two hours there are flowers and a grass on it,

In three it is again alive

And it is warmed by Star's rays

Named the Sun...

And we know that it was always like this,

That Destiny loves more that one

Who lives by laws of others

And who dies young.

He doesn't remember the word "yes" neither the word "no",

He doesn't remember neither ranks, nor names.

And he is able to reach stars

Without considering that it is a dream,

And to fall, burnt by the Star named the Sun...
