Original lyrics
Карлик Нос
А если в книге зазвучат слова и буквы,
Сожмется сердце от бумажного огня,
И нарисованное оживет как будто,
И Карлик Нос преследует меня.
Он выдумал бы новый мир, да только
Не рвется кем-то сложенный узор,
И видимо ему опять придется
Вглядеться в зеркало и ощутить позор.
Карлик Нос других не хуже
Знает в случае чего:
Длинный нос - его оружие
И проклятие его.
Он привык один бороться
Свой-чужой среди уродцев,
Свой-чужой среди уродцев,
Свой-чужой.
Еще чуть-чуть все на круги своя вернется,
Он вырвется опять из темноты.
И зеркало над ним не рассмеется,
И неприступное окажется простым.
Карлик Нос других не хуже
Знает в случае чего,
Длинный нос - его оружие
И проклятие его.
Он привык один бороться
Свой-чужой среди уродцев,
Свой-чужой среди уродцев,
Свой-чужой.
Сам от слез промок,
А другим помог,
Вот какой!
Всех врагов простил,
В сердце свет пустил,
Вот какой!
Лишь лопух да крапива
Поймут некрасивого…

Translation
Dwarf the Nose
If in the book the letters and the words start talking,
The heart will cringe in horror from book paper flame,
It would appear pictures are alive and walking,
And Dwarf the Nose is chasing me to tame.
He would contrive new world himself but only
The pattern made by someone else won't rip,
And now it seems that he again will have to
Look in the mirror feeling firm disgrace's grip.
Dwarf the Nose knows as the others,
He knows when push comes to shove:
His long nose is handy weapon
And damnation from above.
He is used to fight alone as
Friend or foe among the monsters,
Friend or foe among the monsters,
Friend or foe.
Just in a little bit all will get back to normal,
And he will break out from the dark again.
And mirrors wouldn't laugh at him disgraceful,
And unattainable would seem so simple then.
Dwarf the Nose knows as the others,
He knows when push comes to shove:
His long nose is handy weapon
And damnation from above.
He is used to fight alone as
Friend or foe among the monsters,
Friend or foe among the monsters,
Friend or foe.
Got all wet from tears,
Yet he helped his peers,
What a guy!
Forgave all his foes,
Light in his heart glows,
What a guy!
Only burdock and nettle
Understand the unsightly one...
Only burdock and nettle
Understand the unsightly one...
Dwarf the Nose knows as the others,
He knows when push comes to shove...
Only burdock and nettle
Understand the unsightly one...
