Translation to:en

Pokayanie (Golosuyu)

Голосую среди грязи и ненастья,Слёз - на грошик, соли - на пятак.Мне б добраться только до платформы Счастье -Пересяду там на товарняк.

На подножке захлебнусь холодным ветром -Позади всё, вдалеке мой дом.Я на брёвнах, наконец, дождусь ответа,Для чего на свете мы живём.

Туда, сквозь всю страну, лети, мой поезд,Там в сторону одну утоптана тропа.Я поклонюсь земле Колымской в поясИ тем, кто в мерзлоту упал.

Плыть по звёздам, по людскому океануНе устану, слышишь, милая.Средь таёжных, кровью политых делянокОтыщу свою могилу я.

Среди поля василькового, грибного,Возле почерневших старых пнейШапку скину и скажу тихонько слово -Может, кто-нибудь ответит мне...

Туда, сквозь всю страну, лети, мой поезд,Там в сторону одну утоптана тропа.Я поклонюсь земле Колымской в поясИ тем, кто в мерзлоту упал.

Я поклонюсь земле Колымской в поясИ тем, кто в мерзлоту упал.

Голосую среди грязи и ненастья,Голосую...Голосую...

Penitence (Thumbing a Ride)

I'm thumbing a ride in the muck and in foul weather,I have a twopence worth of tears, a five-pence worth of salt,I only need to get to the railway platform by the name "Happiness",I'll ride a freight train from there.

I'll choke with cold wind on a footstep of the freight train,Everything behind me is my home, I left it all far away,On tree logs (that the train is carrying) I'll finally get the answer,I was waiting for it for a long time,I'll learn why we live in the world.

Fly, train, go there across the whole country,There's a trail treaded in one direction,I'll bow from the waist to the Kolyma land,And to everyone that fell into permafrost.

My darling, listen, I won't ever get tired of floating the ocean of peopleBeing guided by stars.I'll find my grave in taigaAmong plots of land bathed in blood.

By a field where cornflowers and mushrooms grow,By old, blackened tree stumpsI'll take my hat off, and I'll say a word,And maybe someone will reply.

Fly, train, go there across the whole country,There's a trail treaded in one direction,I'll bow from the waist to the Kolyma land,And to everyone that fell into permafrost.

I'll bow from the waist to the Kolyma land,And to everyone that fell into permafrost.

I'm thumbing a ride in the muck and in foul weather,I'm thumbing a ride….I'm thumbing a ride…
