Песня о друге [Pesnya o druge] [English translation]

If happiness is to be shared among friends,

Then so is sadness.

The sea is advancing on us- wave by wave,

And we stand before it- back to back.

Here, on the edge of the ship's deck,

Friends will always be there for one another.

A friend will always give you his spot on the lifeboat and his lifejacket.

A friend knows what you need before you ask,

No hardship is scary if a friend is with you.

My friend, like a third shoulder, will always be near.

And if he falls in love,

And I happen to be in his way,

I will step aside, for such is the law of friendship:

Love doesn't need a third wheel.

And if he falls in love,

And I happen to be in his way,

I will step aside, for such is the law of friendship:

Love doesn't need a third wheel.
