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

White snow and grey ice

cover this barren earth

And upon it this quilt of the land is

a city strangled by roads

And above it the clouds pass by,

blocking the light of gold

And above it the yellow smoke,

the city's 2000 years old

The years spent under the star known as the Sun

And for 2000 years they've had wars

for no reason at all

Wars are fought by the young

to keep them from growing old

Scarlet puddles of blood

in an hour will turn into dirt

In two hours the earth is dry,

and in three flowers will grow

Warmed by the rays of the star known as the Sun

And we know that nothing will change,

that Fate will favor the one

Him who lives by the rules of his own,

him who's destined to fight and die young

He forgets about the words: 'Yes' or 'No',

ranks and names mean nothing to him

He can reach for any star in the sky,

and for him it's not just a dream

And fall burned by the star known as the Sun
