Буйно Голова
Mad head
From one head all the gray hair
Everything to dust and ashes, everything from one rib
And one satan, white mist before the eyes
And white foam spewes from the mouth, the mad head boils
My pit is deeper than a trench, two cuts with three stitches
They read out the rights once, a crowd here in blue uniforms
And iron shackles, sleeves on the arms
Suffer, mad head, yes, suffer, mad head
Gingerbread, whip, mace, court, wagon, grouse
Bread crumb, tea, halva - suffer mad head
Cooked kasha with butter, they had to choke it down, scum3
Broke a bunch of wood, mad, mad head
Two bullets, three feathers, three slaps, two bodies
The key to BUR in the pocket, the owners got kicked out4
Here rules the mad head, mad head
Here the mad head dominates, yeah, mad mad head
When mad head boiled in no time
And steadily smoked poured through the pipes, and the whole prison rumbled
And three rods and two stakes, Vorkuta, bells2
And Magadan, your home is a prison, suffer mad head2
Mad head, mad head
Here the mad head dominates, mad head
And the mad head drags on, mad head
That mad, mad head, that mad, mad head
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Hi, Zlodziejkaciast.
Did you use this footnote format intentionally? If yes, that's OK. But just in case if you don't know how to add the footnotes correctly, here is an FAQ article: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/faq#faq62
Some months ago i tried doing it like in the link but it wasnt working (i was stupid or smth eh) and i gave up, so i just put them like that everywhere since then. the eh style
But still, thank you for reminder to try again.
(also how can that be OK if youre the OK)
I edited in the footnotes. Take a look at it to see how they're normally inserted so you can use them in future translations.
