80s Russian rock - Victor Tsoi - a star called the sun
(word-for-word translation)
White snow, grey ice
Are covering the cracked ground
With a patched blanket
The city is a traffic loop
Clouds are flying over it
Obscuring the skyline
The city is in yellow smoke
It is 2000 years old
living under the light
Of a star called the Sun
And for these 2000 years
We've been in the state of war
A war for no reason
It's real business for the youth
It's a medicine for wrinkles
Red, a very red blood
One hour later you see just the ground
Two hours later flowers and grass on it
Three hours later it's again alive
being warmed by the rays
Of a star called the Sun
And we know
It has been always this way
If you're a favourite of fortune
If you live by your own law
You will die at a young age
Such a man doesn't say yes or no
He doesn't recognize big names and ranks
He is able to reach stars
It will be real, not just dreams
In the end being burnt he will fall
As a star called the Sun
