Hello, first and foremost, I've NOTHING to do with Russian, but I decided to weigh in on this conversation since it generated so many comments. So, the state of this comment section is simply.. sad, for lack of a more neutral word. If this translation has its flaws, why didn't anybody made another one yet? I agree that we should try first to locate and communicate the translator's errors, exchanging knowledge as a bonus, but I've this thing that if I realize that the translation has so many small mistakes or maybe some big blatant mistakes, or even some aesthetic choices I would never choose as a translator, I will simply do my own version of it, accepting that the first translation has its own qualities, but that I'd rather provide the end users with a second view (a more refined one, if I say so myself, for the way I see it there's no other reason to add a second translation).

So, this translation doesn't *seem* to be a near "perfect" one, otherwise, it wouldn't have generated so much heat and polluted the comment section the way it did, and I think that's bad because it takes the focus away from what is really important: the music and the lyrics. I've come here to know what this great song is about, and now I don't really know what to think about it, and that's quite frustrating, please (to everyone commenting on this thread) come to a consensus about this one, or just provide your own translation (and let the ratings do the job). Thank you.
