Крыша дома твоего [Krysha doma tvoego] [English translation]

We all chase after miracles

But nothing is more miraculous

Than the earth under the heavens

Where the roof of your home is.

Instantly all your troubles

To the very last will disappear,

Just you remember the blue stars

Over the roof of your home.

And if suddenly you feel a little sad

Then your sorrow won't mean a thing

When you know that under the sun

There is the roof of your home.

The world is full of joy and happiness

But your native country is dearer than any other1

And it's so nice to come back -

Under the roof of your home!

1. The translation here is a mite awkward, but "родной" is one of those tough words that doesn't have a nice equivalent in English. Variant translations: Native land, Homeland, home country.
