Мама, Мы Все Тяжело Больны [Mama, Mi Vse Tyazhelo Bol’ny] [English translation]

Seeds have fallen in dirt, seeds are asking for rain.

They need the rain.

Cut open my chest, have a look inside,

You will see that a fire is burning the core.

It'll be late in a day, it'll be late in an hour,

In a blink you won't be able to stand.

And if the keys are unfit for a door, use shoulder to knock out the door.

Mother, we've all fallen gravely ill...

Mother, I know that we all have gone insane...

Steel between fingers, tightly clenched fist.

Hit above wrist, still tormenting the flesh,

Poison in veins, instead of the blood, slow poison, poison froze up.

The world is destroyed, the foreheads are cracked, and bread has been broken in half.

And now someone's crying, and someone is mum,

And someone is glad, someone's so glad...

Mother, we've all fallen gravely ill...

Mother, I know that we all have gone insane...

You've got to be strong [yeah], you've got to be able to say:

Keep hands off! Keep hands off me!

You've got to be strong [yeah], or why else would you rather be?

What will be worth a thousand words,

When a strong hand will be all that you need?

And now you are standing on river shore and thinking: to swim or not to swim?

Mother, we've all fallen gravely ill...

Mother, I know that we all have gone insane...
