Звезда По Имени Солнце [Zvezda po imyeni Solntse] [English translation]

Snow's white. Ice is grey.

They are lying on a cracked ground.

In a loop of roads you can find

a city like a patchwork of towns

Above the city clouds float and fly.

They don’t let them see the sky.

And for two thousand years they watch

how the yellow smoke rises high.

City life was simple under a star,

we call it the Sun now.

During all the years there's a war

without any special reason.

That war is a work of young people.

A remedy, that's for wrinkles.

Blood is red. But if it’s spilled

it’s absorbed into the earth in an hour

In two hours you’ll see a grass and flowers

In three hours you'll find a living ground

It is warmed by the rays of the star

we call it the Sun now.

And we guess that it is always in this way.

But the fortune often likes still more

The person living by other laws

Even if his life is not too long.

He doesn’t want to know ‘yes’ or ‘no’.

He remembers neither ranks nor names.

He is able to touch the stars in the Space

And his dreams become real one day.

His fate’s to be burned by the star we call it the Sun now.
