По трамвайным рельсам [Po tramvainym relsam] [English translation]

Well, let us go for a walk by the tram rails

Take a little rest sitting on the pipes by the side of the highway

We will breathe thick black smoke instead of warm summer breeze,

Traffic lights will light up our way instead of guiding star.

If we have enough luck, we won't have to go back into our cages 'til the evening.

We have to learn to dig ourselves into the ground in three minutes,

And we will wait there while the black cars will go above us

Taking away those who didn't want to lie in the mud

If we have enough time, we'll keep crawling over the tram rails

You will see the sky, and I will see the mud on your feet

We'll have to burn our clothes in the stove if we manage to come back

If the "blue caps"[*] don't get us at the doors

And if they do, don't tell them that we have spent this day walking by the tram rails

It's a sure sign of crime and/or mental illness

And the Iron Felix[**] will grin at us from a portrait

It would be a good, fair punishment for those who walk by the tram rails

They will kill us for walking by the tram rails

[*]blue caps = police
