Далеко-далеко [Daleko-daleko] [English translation]

Far, far away beyond the sea

Lies a golden country!

No suffering children in its schools.

And elders swim in riches.

Cigarettes grow on roses,

Chocolate grows on palms.

And everyone reborn to there

Backwards isn't keen to come.

Brandywine rivers flow there,

Champagne shimmer lakes,

And ducks already roasted

Will straight to your table fly.

People there are not fed by idea.

Nor tomorrow's promise is meal.

They aren't aware of Somebody

And that Somewhere we have to go.

There, blue, blue sky,

And in the evening stars shine high.

And everyone reborn to there

Backwards isn't keen to come.

They don't know the word "worker".

Don't know and don't wish to learn!

Far, far away beyond the sea

Lies a golden country!

No suffering children in its schools.

And elders swim in riches.
