Белая ворона [Belaya vorona] [English translation]

Your dad works at a redemption centre

Your mom is a cleaner at the embassy

He is your father's son, but not your brother

Fool, you've decided to live with them decorously 1

Ah!

Black sheep!

Black sheep! 2

You were invited to a flat 3 again

Isn't the world large enough?

All of them three wanted to stay with you

You sworn at them and ran away home

Ah!

Black sheep!

Black sheep!

They are handsome guys, exactly the right stuff

Staining papers with shit at work

Their bitchy girlfriends, each wants to be an actress

Spite them and enrol in tractor driving courses

Ah!

Black sheep!

Black sheep!

Slava listens to Seva, Dima and Vitya - to the BBC

They know everything, whatever you ask

Their talking makes you sick,

Come to me, we'll listen to "Mayak" 4

Ah!

Black sheep!

Black sheep!

Black sheep!

Black sheep!
