Гололёд

Гололёд на Земле, гололёд,
Целый год напролёт - гололёд...

Гололёд на Земле, гололёд,
Будто нет ни весны, ни лета.
Чем-то скользким одета планета -
Люди, падая бьются об лёд.

Гололёд на Земле, гололёд,
Целый год напролет - гололёд...

Даже если планету в облёт,
Не касаясь планеты ногами, -
Ни один, так другой упадёт
(Гололёд на Земле, гололёд!) -
И затопчут его сапогами.

Гололёд на Земле, гололёд,
Целый год напролет, целый год,
Будто нет ни весны, ни лета.
Чем-то скользким планета одета,
Люди, падая, бьются об лёд.

Припев.

The icy world
Translation by Alec Vagapov

Mother Earth is all covered with ice -
all year long it is covered with ice.
There's no spring, it appears, nor summer -
White as snow is the planet's garment -
now and then someone falls on the ice.

Mother Earth is all covered with ice,
all year long it is covered with ice.
Everything is covered with ice,
all year long it is covered with ice.

You may fly all around the Globe
and may not even touch the ground,-
anyway you are sure to drop
an a slippery plain or slope...
To be crushed underfoot you are bound!

Mother Earth is all covered with ice,
all year long it is covered with ice.
Everything is covered with ice,
all year long it is covered with ice.

There is nothing but ice, like glass,
but it isn't a rink for skating.
Perhaps a beast will quietly pass...
All is iced ! A two-legged one has
to land on all fours - no escaping.

Mother Earth is all covered with ice,
all year long it is covered with ice.
Everything is covered with ice,
all year long it is covered with ice.
