Берег [Bereg] [English translation]

Ships are pushing forward the shore

Trains are running toward the shore

But all deadbolts are locked

Water is striking at the shore

The shore is a slow bird

The shore is a captured ocean

The shore is a heart of stone

The shore is someone's prison

And when the water flows over the shore

And stops just for a moment

The war will have already happened on Earth

The war that we will learn from the books

The golden gates will clang

Someone's voice will tell you to fly

And a note on the toilet's doors:

'Go around if you come to Earth'

A little star will flash at your door

Try to guess its age.

If you come on the empty road

The gun will clang behind your back

Someone put a hallmark on me

I'd pay to know who it was

Anger is a sparrow's word

It's mounting up in my coat's pockets

And when the water will step back

The shore will step forward and show the hero

The shore will step forward and show the enemy

And again there will be the two of them

Whisky with sugar and sour cabbage

Cold ice on the temples

It's chilly and empty inside my head

Tell me where you are and how you are

My stomach rises, but it's the wrong time

It's time to polish shoes

Bone like a white stirrup

A colour of someone's child foot

The shore will greet the hero

The shore will great the enemy

There has always been the two of us

And now there's only me.
