Zerna upali v zemlyu, zerna prosyat dozhdya
Im nuzhen dozhd'
Razrezh' moyu grud', posmotri mne vnutr'
Ty uvidish', tam vse gorit ognem
Cherez den' budet pozdno, cherez chas budet pozdno
Cherez mig budet uzhe ne vstat'
Esli k dveryam ne podkhodyat klyuchi, vyshibi dveri plechom

Mama, my vse tyazhelo bol'ny
Mama, ya znayu, my vse soshli s uma

Stal' mezhdu pal'tsev, szhatyy kulak
Udar vyshe kisti, terzayushchiy plot'
No vmesto krovi v zhilakh zastyl yad, medlennyy yad
Razrushennyy mir, razbitye lby, razlomannyy nadvoe khleb
I vot kto-to plachet, a kto-to molchit
A kto-to tak rad, kto-to tak rad

Mama, my vse tyazhelo bol'ny
Mama, ya znayu, my vse soshli s uma

Ty dolzhen byt' sil'nym, ty dolzhen umet' skazat'
Ruki proch', proch' ot menya!
Ty dolzhen byt' sil'nym, inache zachem tebe byt'
Chto budet stoit' tysyachi slov
Kogda vazhna budet krepost' ruki?
I vot ty stoish' na beregu I dumaesh': Plyt' ili ne plyt'?

Mama, my vse tyazhelo bol'ny
Mama, ya znayu, my vse soshli s uma
