Motherland
God, so many years I've been walking, but haven't made a step.
God, so many days I've been searching for what's always with me.
So many years I've been chewing raw love instead of bread,
The long-awaited distance spits so much life into my temple
Out of blued barrel!
Black headlights by the neighboring gates,
Enforcement, handcuffs, torn mouth.
So many times my head rolled off
The overcrowded block and flew here, where it's...
The motherland.
I'm going to the motherland,
Let them shout: "she's an ugly one",
But we like it all the same,
Even if she isn't a beauty,
So trustful to the scum,
But to us - tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la ...
Hey, boss!...
God, so much truth in the eyes of the government whores!
God, so much faith in the hands of retired executors!
Do not let them once again to roll up the sleeves
Do not let them once again to roll up the sleeves
Of busy nights.
Black headlights by the neighboring gates,
Enforcement, handcuffs, torn mouth.
So many times my head rolled off
The overcrowded block and flew here, where it's...
The motherland.
I'm going to the motherland,
Let them shout: "she's an ugly one",
But we like it all the same,
The sleeping beauty,
So trustful to the scum,
But to us - tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la ...
Hey, boss!...
From under black shirts a red rooster bursts,
From under kind czars a marmalade pours into the mouths,
Never ever this world harbored two:
Father was our god, but our devil was -
Motherland.
I'm going to the motherland,
Let them shout: "she's an ugly one",
But we like it all the same,
Even if she isn't a beauty,
So trustful to the scum,
But to us - tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la ...
Hey, boss!...
