Кого ты хотел удивить? [Kogo ty khotel udivit'] [English translation]

You may become like a neglected garden,

Or may turn your head into billiard ball.

Both these things I've seen more than once,

Who do you want to surprise?

You believed in The Beatles' guitar and the Flowers*,

Dreaming of the whole world to love,

But all these songs are written not by you,

Who do you want to surprise?

CHORUS:

Tell me, what are you glad to?

Stop, look back.

Wait a minute, look back, and you will see

That yellow leaves are falling,

And ravens are circling

Where once there was a blooming garden.

You became a rebel, and the darkness has shaken,

The whole world you wanted to change.

But the prison waits for all the rebels,

Who do you want to surprise?

Now you're tired and you don't care

How to live the rest of your life.

And everybody looks like you already long time,

Who do you want to surprise?

Chorus:

You thought you'd make happy the whole world,

And it would be lit by your shining light.

But a wind has blown, and you don't exist anymore...

Who do you want to surprise?

Chorus:
