Postoy, ne ukhodi!
My zhdali leta - prishla zima.
My zakhodili v doma,
No v domakh shel sneg.
My zhdali zavtrashniy den',
Kazhdyy den' zhdali zavtrashniy den'.
My pryachem glaza za shtorami vek.

V nashikh glazakh kriki "Vpered!"
V nashikh glazakh okriki "Stoy!"
V nashikh glazakh rozhdenie dnya
I smert' ognya.
V nashikh glazakh zvezdnaya noch',
V nashikh glazakh poteryannyy ray,
V nashikh glazakh zakrytaya dver'.
Chto tebe nuzhno? Vybiray!

My khoteli pit', ne bylo vody.
My khoteli sveta, ne bylo zvezdy.
My vykhodili pod dozhd'
I pili vodu iz luzh.
My khoteli pesen, ne bylo slov.
My khoteli spat', ne bylo snov.
My nosili traur, orkestr igral tush...

V nashikh glazakh kriki "Vpered!"
V nashikh glazakh okriki "Stoy!"
V nashikh glazakh rozhdenie dnya
I smert' ognya.
V nashikh glazakh zvezdnaya noch',
V nashikh glazakh poteryannyy ray,
V nashikh glazakh zakrytaya dver'.
Chto tebe nuzhno? Vybiray!
