Текст песни Кукрыниксы - Экклезиаст

His turn for everything - everything and everyone will come,
Under the sky of all things there will be a term.
Rich or poor alone
throwing or looking
time to live and time to bend
speak and be silent.
And time to collapse, hug, save
and time to dodge
throw everything, sob and laugh.

Everything will go to smoke, to dust
and all will come from the dust.
Everyone will find shame and fear
who even lived without fear
Will not find a shadow under the sun
who wants to gloss over everything
who has eaten people all his life -
gobble up mud, slush.
And I betrayed my heart to
to know wisdom
to distinguish between joy, pain, madness and stupidity.
And only I understood, this is all - yearning for the spirit
in wisdom; sadness, sorrow
to multiply all this is stupid.
