Original lyrics
Скорбец
Проснулся в церкви ангельских крыл
Высоко над землей, где я так долго жил.
Небесные созданья несли мою постель -
Ворон, птица Сирин и коростель.
Земля лежала, как невеста, с которой спьяну сняли венец:
Прекрасна и чиста, но в глазах особый скорбец.
На льду Бел-озера один на один
Сошлись наш ангел Алкоголь и их демон Кокаин;
Из Китеж-града шел на выручку клир,
Внесли святой червонец - и опять вышел мир.
Мадонну Джеки Браун взял в жены наш Бог-Отец,
Вначале было плохо, но потом пришел обычный скорбец.
Я спрашивал у матери, я мучил отца
Вопросом - Как мне уйти от моего скорбеца?
Потом меня прижал в углу херувим:
"Без скорбеца ты здесь не будешь своим".
С тех пор я стал цыганом, сам себе пастух и сам дверь -
И я молюсь, как могу, чтобы мир сошел им в души теперь.

Russia-Blues
..Woke up in church of angel wings' song
Above the Earth where I have lived for so long.
The creatures from the heavens were carrying my bed:
Raven, golden Sirin bird, and corncrake.
The land lay like a youthful bride from whom the drunk took off wedding crown:
So lovely and so pure but with Russia-blues in eyes down.
To battle one-on-one on ice of White Lake
Crossed paths our angel Alcohol and their demon drug Cocaine;
From Kitezh-town clergy rushed to help us,
They brought in sacred gold coin and again we had peace.
Madonna Jackie Brown's taken to wife by Father-God.
At first all was amiss but then our normal Russia-blues guffawed.
I tormented my father, I lit my mother's fuse
With question: How do I run away from my Russia-blues?
Then cherub pressed me in the nook all night long:
"Without Russia-blues in here you won't belong."
Since then I am a gypsy, shepherd for myself and a door,
And now I pray as I can for blessed peace to descend on their souls.

I realize that pressing "Thanks"
is really hard for most of you, yet
you should keep on trying...
