Vladimir's State Jail
The spring is back, and the rays of warmth
Are trustingly peering in my window.
My chest will ache again
And sadness will creep into my soul
On this walk down memory lane.
Let's go, raise hell!
And together we'll sin,
Me and that girl
That I loved long ago.
With that girl it all came.
With that girl it all went.
But I wasn't strong enough to forget her.
Vladimir's Central Prison, northerly wind,
On a prison train out of Tver, evil immeasurable.
A heavy weight rests on my heart.
Vladimir's State Jail, northerly wind.
Although I balled, it all came to naught.
It's not a game of chance that brings wrack and ruin, but an ace to an eleven.

It's not a game of chance that brings wrack and ruin, but an ace to an eleven.
There beneath the window, Inmate
There's a thawed patch
Alas, you are so brief
My spring.
I busk in it (the spring) being here
At least it is here
Oh, how I need your love.

Oh my god! I finally understand what this song is all about!
It's all about love, and how love it is that brings us all to wrack and ruin!
It begins with the advent of spring and then takes us right away to the prison cell in which our protagonist whiles away his "prison" hours. He ,presumably, wakes up and sees the rays of sunshine coming trustfully in through the barred prison window and that brings all those memories of freedom that were all but forlet and forgotten during the long, harsh Siberian winter back to life in our protagonist! His heart starts to ache and sadness slowly creeps into his soul as he begins to reminisce about the ride on the prison train that, I might add, had an immeasurable amount of evil, and about that girl he used to love and know, and about how LOVE has led him astray and down the crooked paths of "balling" and "hustling" which landed him in the prison he's in... Love brought ruin onto the "baller"!
Ah, it is such a soulful song.
