Я уехал в Магадан [Ya uekhal v Magadan] [English translation]

You think, that I'm still too young,

I very rarely open my soul to people,-

I'll tell you about Magadan-

Do listen!

how I saw the Nagaevo Cove and tracts wide and long,-

I flew there not without a reason.

Once I went to Magadan-

I ran from myself like from tuberculosis.

At once a lot of vodka I've drunk and got pissed!

But I saw the Nagaevo Cove and tracts wide and long,-

I flew there not without a reason.

the rumors follow my footsteps flew to join the fun,

Ahead of blizzard and airplane,-

To see a friend I went to Magadan just the same!

And I saw the Nagaevo Cove and tracts wide and long,-

I flew there not without a reason.

I did not give my enemies a reason, none-

Didn't cut my veins, my aorta didn't slit,-

I just took off and went to Magadan. To Hell with it!

I saw the Nagaevo Cove and tracts wide and long,-

I flew there not without a reason.

I, however, left a lot of ladies here, and some!

They wrote to me: "All your *Queens are beaten!"

So what, I went to Magadan. Now we're even!

And I saw the Nagaevo Cove and tracts wide and long,-

I flew there not without a reason.

When closer to cold the weather comes,-

Though it's expensive, also it's far away,-

I can go to a friend in Magadan - Okay!

You didn't see Nagaevo Cove, what a cretin!

I flew there not without a reason.
