Я ни разу за морем не был [Ya ni razu za morem ne byl] [English translation]
I have never been overseas
A familiar thought soothes my heart:
There, they have the same blue sky
And the same difficult life
Perhaps they have more fun there and people are richer
Colours are brighter and summer is warmer
But people cry from pain just the same
And give birth to children in pain, too
Maybe, I don't quite understand
The advantage of cheating that's obvious to others
For some reason I lose more often
Getting nothing in exchange
For what kind of new benefits...
(To each his own)
Pretending to be vagabonds
Do pilgrims run off to a foreign land?
That which was once contemplated is now over and gone
You will leave everything behind without regrets
You have crossed the border of your motherland
That's if you have one
Look back at your moment of departure!
And here is a foreign land under your feet
Maybe, it's birds migrating,
Maybe, it's just rats fleeing a sinking ship
